Pneumatics and vacuum systems - single certified QQI module.

Level:QQI Level 6

Accredited by:Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)

At the end of this 6-day module (split over 2 weeks) learners will be able to:

  • Explain using the correct terminology and specifications, component names, relevant units of measurement, application examples, maintenance activities, setups and adjustments associated with industrial pneumatic technology. This is to include: air service units, fittings, tubing, speed controllers, valves, actuators, limit switches and vacuum generation and its control equipment.
  • Explain safe work practice in relation system repair including the challenges of stored energy and the hazards presented by compressed air.
  • Interpret valve and pneumatic circuit diagrams and symbols to assist functional understanding and fault-finding.
  • Given a performance specification description, demonstrate correct construction and verification of a pneumatic application involving a minimum of two actuators, limit switches, two valve types, dump valve and service unit.
  • Demonstrate how a working knowledge of components used in pneumatic and vacuum technology can inform fault-finding on a range of typical machine system faults.

This is a core module (15 ECTS)  on the Level 6 QQI Award in Industrial Technology (120 ECTS). Prices may vary depending on funding availability and eligibility. Price applies to a full class with training delivered on-site. 

Cost for module is €775.00 to those eligible under ESF+ funding. To enquire if you are eligible for this funded cost at 775.00 please contact Michelle and Fiona
