This required 3-day, highly interactive course designed to build student's knowledge on global best practices regardless of the learner’s starting point is new and improved, as one of the 5 total courses required for the MRM Certificate.  Course content as outlined is based on the Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (SMRP) knowledge base.   Extensive research was conducted using today’s leading and latest sources for best practices.  Many who have completed this program gain confidence and, along with independent study, go on to successfully achieve their certification as a maintenance and reliability professional (CMRP). 

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?

In today’s competitive business environment, the difference between success and failure is often based on how well our machines and facilities perform. Learn detailed strategic approaches to management and leadership in maintenance and reliability. You will leave this course with the ability to create a strategy, and develop and manage your team. The course will also include an overview of major approaches such as Reliability Centered Maintenance, ISO55000, and PM Optimization for effectively managing assets.
