Cost: $1,500 (Includes meals) + $400 Examination Fee (Optional)
This introductory course to vibration analysis is designed to provide classroom instruction for maintenance personnel and managers who are responsible for machine reliability with their employer. This course will provide technical definitions of vibration terminology, introduction of vibration and analysis theory, instruction on proper vibration data collection techniques and recognition of quality readings. This course is intended to provide introductory knowledge and prepare attendees for the Vibration Analysis Category I Certification Exam; the exam is optional at the end of the course. This class meets the classification requirements of 30 hours instruction and workshop for Cat. I certification. For those wanting to take the certification exam, testing will take place Saturday morning.
