This Intermediate Vibration Analysis course is intended for personnel who have at least eighteen
months of vibration analysis experience and a thorough understanding of vibration theory and
terminology. The course provides an in-depth study of machinery faults and their associated
spectrum, time waveform, and phase characteristics. You will learn how to collect the right data
with the correct vibration analyser settings. In addition, you will learn about shaft alignment
and balancing so that you can improve the reliability of the equipment. The key is that with the
VCAT-II course, you will transition from being a person who is primarily capable of collecting
data to a person who can diagnose faults on the critical machinery, and in some cases, prevent
or correct them.
Once you complete the training, you can take the exam with confidence, and become certified to
ISO 18436-2 Category II via the internationally respected Mobius Institute Board of
Certification [MIBoC]™. The MIBoC certification is accredited to ISO/IEC 17024 – there is no
higher standard. You will join thousands of other Mobius™ certified analysts around the
world.
Category II certification requires that you have demonstrated 18 months experience in vibration
analysis, completed the Category II course and successfully pass the Category II vibration
analyst examination, however Category I is not a prerequisite to become certified as a Category
II vibration analysts.
Who should attend?
If you have been performing vibration analysis for more than twelve months and feel that you
have a good understanding of the fundamentals, then you are ready to step up to the CAT II
Vibration Analysis course. Anyone who wants to be confident and capable of diagnosing a wide
range of fault conditions, correct certain conditions, and taking accurate measurements needs to
take this course.
