Vibration Analysis Courses, CAT-I to CAT-IV
Condition Monitoring
If you have been performing vibration analysis for less than one year, or if you have been collecting vibration readings and leaving the analysis to another person, then the CAT-I course is for you. The Vibration Analysis CAT-I is also designed for reliability engineers, PdM program managers, and other maintenance staff who would like to understand condition monitoring with a focus on vibration analysis, and take the ISO or ASNT exam.
If you have more than twelve months experience, and feel that you have a good understanding of the fundamentals, then you are ready to step up to the CAT-II course. Anyone who wants to be confident and capable of diagnosing a wide range of fault conditions, correct certain conditions, and taking accurate measurements needs to take this course. Certification follows the ISO 18436-2 standard and the ASNT Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A. Learn more about CAT-III and CAT-IV below.
Ultrasound Analysis Courses, CAT-I (CAT-II)
Condition Monitoring
The Ultrasound courses are intended for the ultrasound analyst and technician analyst who will collect ultrasound data to detect fault conditions in rotating machinery, electrical equipment, and a host of other equipment including valves, hydraulics, steam traps, and more. Students learn how to detect leaks in compressed air and steam systems and grease lubricate bearings with precision.
The CAT I Ultrasound Analysis (UCAT-I) course is also suitable for reliability engineers, PdM program managers, and other maintenance staff who would like to understand condition monitoring with a focus on ultrasound, and take the ISO or ASNT exam. Are you ready to get started in ultrasound analysis and condition monitoring?
ARP Advocate, Engineer, Leader
Asset Reliability
The Asset Reliability Practitioner (ARP) utilizes an international scheme, with independent, aligned training available publicly, onsite and online. The certification scheme will recognize the knowledge and basic experience of people at three levels; the Advocate, who contributes to the initiative, the Reliability Engineer who operates the initiative, and the Leader who manages the initiative.

It was an excellent, very professional yet very enjoyable course. As a relative novice to vibration analysis I feel much more confident after the course and the amount of knowledge I gained in the week was incredible.
