PROGRAM DETAILS

Program Overview:

This comprehensive five-day training program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to become Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (CMRP), while also deepening their understanding of industrial instrumentation principles. The course aligns with the globally recognized Five Pillars of the CMRP framework—Business & Management, Manufacturing Process Reliability, Equipment Reliability, Work Management, and People Skills—established by the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals (SMRP).

Through a structured curriculum, participants will explore how instrumentation and control systems play a critical role in asset performance, operational efficiency, and data-driven maintenance strategies. Topics will cover the integration of sensor technologies, signal processing, and automated data acquisition with best practices in maintenance planning, failure analysis, and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). Special emphasis is placed on real-world applications that reinforce strategic asset management, proactive maintenance, and optimization of plant resources.

Whether you are seeking certification or aiming to enhance your technical and managerial competencies in the field of maintenance and reliability, this program provides a strong foundation. The training concludes with a focused CMRP exam preparation module, ensuring participants are well-prepared for success in the certification process and in driving operational excellence in their organizations.
