Each course will be highly practical, focus on implementation, and provide participants all the tools and templates required to implement what is learned in practice.

Online

Our online, on-demand training courses consist of pre-recorded video presentations. Students are supported via the online community and have access to scheduled Office Hours (regular live Q&A calls).

Multi-Lingual

We are working on getting our courses translated (subtitles and voice overs) into Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Chinese, German, and Russian.

PM100: Developing & Improving Preventive Maintenance Programs

  • 9 modules
  • 48 Lessons
  • Final Exam
  • Certificate

This course focuses on the principles and practices that you need to apply when developing or improving your Preventive Maintenance Program so you can achieve higher reliability and availability whilst doing less maintenance.

Experience has shown that between 40% – 60% of the PM tasks in a PM program add little value. Poor PM programs waste time and money, do not effectively address failures, and drive our organisations into a reactive, fire-fighting culture. This course will teach you how to identify those non-value-adding PMs and either improve them or eliminate them.
