Ensuring that condition monitoring customers who invest in ongoing technical skills training for their maintenance staff earn significant returns from their investment is a priority for condition monitoring specialist company, WearCheck.
WearCheck training consultant Jan Bakker (blue shirt) recently conducted oil analysis training courses in Gauteng and North West in South Africa.
Maintenance crew members can choose from more than 15 courses which are conducted by WearCheck’s experts in various categories of condition monitoring, including general oil analysis, reliability services, transformers and wind turbine oil analysis. For most of the courses, delegates can earn valuable CPD (continuing professional development) points.
The training schedule, which has run successfully for over two decades, is overseen by Steven Lumley, Technical Manager at WearCheck.
“Technology is developing at an exponential rate, and the same is the case in the condition monitoring industry. Therefore, even experienced technicians need to brush up on new skills and learn about technical innovations as they become available,” Lumley says.
“WearCheck adds in new training content to the course material continually, to address the need to educate maintenance personnel about newly introduced techniques that can boost accuracy and efficiency and make a condition monitoring programme more effective. This means it’s important for maintenance teams to attend the courses regularly, and not just on a once-off basis, to ensure their technical knowledge is up to date.
“At WearCheck we embrace innovation and are constantly implementing new technologies. The more informed our clients are about the upgraded analysis systems, the better their return on investment in a condition monitoring programme,” she adds.
The different courses are structured to suit several levels of maintenance crew members, from introductory levels up to the more scientific and technical levels.
WearCheck offers oil analysis courses and Mobius courses that cover precision shaft alignment, precision balancing, vibration analysis, and asset reliability training for practitioners. The company has been an accredited training partner for the internationally acclaimed Mobius Institute since 2015. Mobius courses lead to accredited certification for asset reliability practitioners, condition monitoring specialists and precision maintenance technicians.
WearCheck delivers courses around the country and internationally, in person or online, and it offers customised training on request.
