The course covers the four domains of practice and knowledge proficiency required of a CMRT.

Course attendees will gain knowledge and proficiency in four specific areas of maintenance and reliability practice to help them prepare for certification.

• Maintenance Practices  –  General  maintenance  activities  related  to  safe  and  effective performance of maintenance activities
• Preventive and Predictive Maintenance– Best practices in PM, condition monitoring, and lubrication
• Troubleshooting and  Analysis  –  Best  practices  for  performing  troubleshooting  activities related to breakdowns and continuing equipment issues
• Corrective Maintenance– Best practices for performing corrective maintenance activities designed to restore equipment to full function

Individuals who either supervise or are interested in becoming Certified Maintenance and Reliability

Technicians will benefit from attending this course.
