T he condition monitoring sector is one that is constantly evolving and developing to incorporate innovation and boost efficiency. It is for this reason that ongoing training is essential to keep maintenance crews at the forefront of technological advance- ments within the industry. WearCheck’s technical manager, Steven Lumley, who oversees the company’s training programme, believes that companies where staff are not well trained in the latest maintenance techniques will be hampered by the diminishing effectiveness of their condition monitoring programme. Says Lumley, “We urge companies operating in all industries to invest in training their staff to optimise their return on investment in condition monitoring. All WearCheck’s courses comply with lockdown regulations to ensure the safety of delegates and staff. Please contact us to confirm whether the courses will be held at a venue or online, as we strive to comply with pandemic regulations.” Oil analysis and condition monitoring training courses are targeted at maintenance practitioners operating at various levels within an organisa- tion. Many of these courses earn valuable CPD (continuing professional development) points for delegates. Oil analysis courses are run at two levels, Oil Analysis 1: Understanding oil and its analysis; and Oil Analysis 2: Report interpretation. A specialist two day workshop on Wind Turbine Oil Analysis is also available. Other condition monitoring training courses run by WearCheck in- clude: Precision Shaft Alignment; Precision Balancing; Vibration Analysis (ISO CAT I, ISO CAT II and ISO CAT III); Asset Reliability Practitioner courses at advocate (ARP-A), engineer (ARP-E) and leader (ARP-L) levels; as well as WearCheck Practical (English/Zulu), WearCheck Customised and Asset Reliability Practitioner courses. WearCheck has been an accredited training partner for the inter-
nationally-acclaimed Mobius Institute since 2015. Mobius condition monitoring courses are presented at various venues throughout Africa, and many of them have an online option.
