Vibration Analysis Category III

This course provides an in-depth study of machinery faults and their associated spectrum, time waveform, and phase characteristics.

This Senior Vibration Analysis course is intended for people who are confident with spectrum analysis, but who wish to push on and learn more about signal processing; time waveform and phase analysis; cross channel testing; machine dynamics; fault correction; and more. The key is that with the VCAT-III course, you will transition from being a vibration analyst who should be supervised to a person who is capable of running the program, being a senior consultant, solving difficult problems, and taking a leadership role. If you wish to truly advance in vibration analysis and be able to run a successful condition monitoring team, then you are ready for this course.
This course is designed for the senior vibration analyst and program manager who must be able to diagnose the widest range of vibration related fault conditions, perform balancing and alignment, and understand, diagnose and correct resonance faults.

Once you complete the training, you can take the exam with confidence, and become certified to ISO 18436-2 Category III 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 III certification requires that you have demonstrated 36 months experience in vibration analysis, completed the Category III course and successfully pass the Category III vibration analyst examination, and are previously certified as a Category II vibration analyst.

Who should attend?
If you are CAT II (or Level II) certified and are ready to take your career and responsibilities to the next step, and you wish to truly master vibration analysis, diagnosis and correction, then the CAT III Vibration Analysis course is ideal for you.
