The SMRP (Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals) created the CMRT Body of Knowledge as a guide for maintenance technicians to be proficient in their careers. The CMRT BoK is broken up into four (4) domains: Maintenance Practices, Preventative and Predictive Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Analysis, and Corrective Maintenance. By understanding the core concepts in each of these domains, and aligning your processes with the BoK, you will guide your team and your company toward world-class performance. Our instructors not only facilitate a deep understanding of the materials but also emphasize its practical application through hands-on practice, applied learning, and group discussions. Do you need to upskill your maintenance technicians and all other reliability team members and prepare them for the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professional’s Certified Maintenance and Reliability Technicians (CMRT) Certification?
