There are so many benefits to taking this course. You will learn…

• about condition monitoring, including a summary of the most common technologies
• about reliability improvement
• how vibration analysis plays a key role in reliability improvement
• how machines work via the supplementary self-study “equipment knowledge” section of the manual
• the fundamentals of vibration: waveforms, spectra, and simple metrics (overall levels, rms, peak, peak to peak, and crest factor)
• how to take dependable, repeatable, high-quality vibration readings
• about vibration sensors, and how and where to mount them
• the basics of the analysis process, primarily with vibration spectra
• the basics of the key analyzer settings: fmax, resolution, and averaging
• the basics of setting alarm limits
• the common “failure modes” of machines and how to detect them, including rolling element bearing faults, unbalance, misalignment, looseness, and resonance

All you need is a desire to learn and to succeed in your field. In order to be certified you must:

• Complete a MIBoC approved training course
• Achieve 70% or higher on the certification exam (60 multiple choice questions, duration 2 hours).
• Have six (6) months of practical vibration analysis work experience, verified by supervisor/manager.

Certification is valid for 5 years.

If you do not have the experience, you will still receive a certificate, but you will not be officially certified. When you pass the 6-month milestone, please contact MIBoC to be upgraded to full certification.
