The Hydraulic Service Mechanic Program teaches a student how to repair, maintain, adjust hydraulic units such as hoists, rams, jacks, lifting units and pumps. The Hydraulic Service Mechanic Program usually takes 5 years to complete.
However, the program entails only work-based training. This allows students with good job prospects the ability to complete the course in a much shorter duration, as the course is based on number of hours logged at the workplace.
