Asset Reliability Practitioner (ARP) Courses
RMS is an ‘independent’ UK-based CBM course provider with 20 years experience delivering accredited courses approved by Mobius Institute (MIBoC) and British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT). Our Asset Reliability Practitioner (ARP) courses: Advocate (ARP-A), Engineer (ARP-E), Leader (ARP-L), are modelled to ISO 18436 and mapped to ISO 55000 quality standards.
Whether your organization manufactures products (appliances, automobiles, etc.) or a commodity (mining, oil & gas, etc.); provides an essential service (e.g. water, sewage, power); relies on machinery/electrical equipment (facilities, shipping), or is involved with protecting their country, this course will provide a memorable explanation of how to improve reliability and performance.
No reliability improvement initiative can be successful unless everyone is on the same page. Everyone needs to pull in the same direction. Everyone needs to share the same understanding of the issues, benefits, and remedies. And everyone must be inspired to contribute, support activities intended to improve reliability and performance, and look for opportunities to make improvements. This is the way to create the “culture of reliability”.
You won’t come away as an expert, but you will know enough to make a valuable contribution to an existing program; be in a position to start a new program; determine if you should implement a program at your site; or better understand the program that exists in your plant. The Reliability Institute’s ARP instructors are Dean Whittle and Tom Murphy.

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

Thanks for a really good and interesting course! I feel much more confident implementing changes now, and for once we had a trainer that actually was interested in the subject! Bravo!
