Professional Career Path and AHSCA Membership

To begin a professional career in Hydraulic Services Consulting our best advice would be to first consider education. Considering this and enrolling in a suitable starting course (Certificate of Engineering – Hydraulic Services Design, otherwise known as Certificate 4), you would then qualify for Student membership of the AHSCA. From Student membership you can advance to Associate membership and then Full membership. This is necessary because the AHSCA is the recognised professional body which forms the basis for Hydraulic Services Consultants.
