About this Course:

CIBSE ANZ Hydraulic Services Engineering Training is a two-day course that forms part of a building services series of face-to-face training that CIBSE offers in Australia and New Zealand.

This course introduces Hydraulic Services as a core discipline within building services engineering. This includes an overview of what Hydraulic Services are, their importance and design, and the vitality of how they integrate into the overarching building and construction process.

Who should attend:

This course is suited to:

• Those in the early stages of their hydraulic services engineering career,
• Those with international qualifications looking to understand local design requirements and framework, or
• Those specialising in other areas of the construction and the building services industry, wishing to gain a better understanding of hydraulic services design principles in Australia.
