IMV Training Course

All Day Event

This course is recommended for individuals with less than two years experience and prepares attendees to perform a range of simple channel machinery vibration condition monitoring and diagnostic activities. It also serves as partial preparation for the Category I Vibration Analyst Certification Examination. All Vibration Institute instructors are Category IV certified and experienced vibration analysts. Course Instructors are subject to change without prior notification.

INTRODUCTION to MACHINERY VIBRATIONS (IMV)

All registered attendees in the Introduction to Machinery Vibrations training course will receive class notes and a workbook containing examples and workshop problems, calculator and a ruler. Workshops are scheduled to illustrate theory and applications. This course provides preparation for plant data collection and limited analysis as well as partial preparation for the certification examination for the Vibration Analyst Category I.
