This course provides a comprehensive foundation in machinery lubrication analysis, designed to prepare students for the ICML Machinery Lubrication Analyst Level I (MLA I) certification exam. Covering both theoretical principles and practical applications, it introduces best practices in lubricant selection, application, sampling, contamination control, and basic oil analysis interpretation. You will gain a clear understanding of the role lubrication plays in equipment reliability, learn to recognise the early warning signs of wear or failure through oil condition monitoring, and understand how to support an effective lubrication programme. Whether you are starting out in condition-based maintenance or formalising what you already know, the course is aligned with the ICML MLA I Body of Knowledge — and on completion you are qualified to sit the exam.
