Advanced CM
ABOUT THE COURSE – CMA’s “Advanced Condition Monitoring Course” is an intensive 2 day, onsite, workshop style course. This course is generally offered as an extension to the Basic CM Course or to those who have had some experience in CM.
CUSTOMISED COURSES – Although the content of the course is well structured it is our belief, at CMA, to provide the client with a course which meets THEIR requirements. Each course is customised to meet the participants skills and knowledge level and in this way aims at advancing the participants one step at a time, ensuring that a high retention rate is achieved. The use of the clients own machines as examples, instead of sterile laboratory test rigs, also assists in this aim.
A CONDITION MONITORING COURSE – NOT A SALES PITCH – The sole aim of these courses is to up skill the participants in the area of Condition Monitoring. The course will be tailored to suit any brand of CM equipment that the client may have and in this way, valuable time will not be wasted on trying to convert the participants to an unfamiliar system. Instead their level of confidence with their own CM equipment will be dramatically boosted.
