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.

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

This course will be presented using a combination of lecture, individual exercises, group exercises, and interactive computer based exercises.
