Machinery Lubrication Engineer (MLE)

The Machinery Lubrication Engineer course is designed for the experienced professional whose work includes the strategic leadership, development, implementation and management of a lubrication programme. It is aligned with the ICML Machinery Lubrication Engineer Body of Knowledge and prepares candidates for the MLE certification exam. People taking it often already hold other certifications — CMRP, MLT, MLA, CLS or CRE. ICML is a global non-profit dedicated to helping lubrication practitioners succeed, and its exams are administered in accordance with ISO 18436, worldwide, in multiple languages and in both paper and online formats.
