Online course on basic hydraulics

The Official College of Agricultural Engineers of Andalusia, through the Andalusian Foundation of Agricultural Engineers, is organizing an online course in basic hydraulics for professionals and students in the agricultural sector.

The course aims to provide solid training in fundamental hydraulic concepts applied to the agricultural sector.

The fee is €250 for members, €300 for non-members, and €200 for unemployed individuals and students, subject to proof of unemployment or registration.

An opportunity to improve technical skills with flexibility and professional support. More information and registration are available on the College's website.
