In this course, you will develop the essential skills required to implement world‑class lubrication practices that directly improve the reliability and performance of your plant’s equipment.

Participants will gain a deep understanding of the methods needed to properly select, store, filter, and evaluate lubricants. You will also build practical knowledge in oil analysis, enabling technicians and analysts to work together effectively and make informed maintenance decisions.

Upon completing this first level, each student will be fully prepared to sit the ICML (International Council for Machinery Lubrication) certification exam and pursue either the MLT I (Machinery Lubrication Technician Level I) or MLA I (Machinery Lubrication Analyst Level I) credential.

Certification:

  • On-site Training
  • Study Material
  • Access to the Noria Academy Platform
  • Expert Instructors
  • Certifcate of Attendance
