Available as a three-stage qualification, individuals undergo a period of training at their place of work to attain a level of competency sufficient to enable formal certification.

HAT 1 is the first level, aimed at hose assembly personnel who perform their activities from verbal or written instructions.

Any deviations from the norm will be covered by set procedures or instructions from a more qualified person.

HAT 2 qualified staff will be involved in meeting customers' needs both at a trade counter and on site.

Their activities will include the identification, selection, specification, assembly, installation and fault-finding associated with hose assemblies and will involve the use of simple diagnostic checks plus the ability to respond positively to problems.

Co-operation with others in the team or work group may be required.

The HAT 3 level is aimed at application engineers involved in the design and specification of hydraulic hoses and problem solving.
