This 4-day class covers ICML certification preparation of the MLT1 and MLA1 bodies of knowledge in accordance to ISO 18436-4. It provides the foundational training for reliability-centered machine lubrication work practices AND oil-sample based condition assessment. This class will help you understand the positive impact that high quality lubrication practices can have on your machine's health and your plant's productivity. Participants will learn how to transform an existing lubrication production processes, from modest and reactive to thorough, accurate and proactive.

Course Topics:

• Precision Lubrication and Machine Management Strategies
• Applied Tribology: The Science of Precision Lubrication
• Lubricant Construction
• Performance Properties
• Lubricant Selection Practices
• Lubricant Application – Grease
• Lubrication Application – Oil
• Lubricant Condition and Contamination Control
• Lubricant Storage and Handling
• Introduction to Oil Analysis

This course is taught by AMRRI instructor Mike Johnson.

Mike has 35+ years of practical experience in the field of industrial lubrication and equipment reliability management.

Mike has an extensive background in theoretical and practical tribology and uses this knowledge assisting organizations that want to improve machine reliability through improvement of machine lubrication work plans, benchmarking, program development and implementation, in-plant coaching and certification training, failure analysis, and through advice and support in developing standards for precision lubrication practices.

Mike holds CMRP, CLS, CRL, MLE, MLA3, and MLT2 certifications

Certification Exam:

An optional certification exam will be offered following the class for an additional $275. The exam and certification is offered through the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML). To take the certification exam you must go to the ICML website to register for the exam at least two weeks before the class. Class registration must be done through Red Wolf Reliability.

Student Reviews

We put three of our folks through your MLTI training course a couple of months ago. Among the many things they are doing with their new knowledge, they have been taking oil samples for analysis, and reviewing the results. The team immediately found over a million dollars’ worth of gearboxes were at risk with low viscosity oil. The class paid for itself, in days, with just that one facet of your training – thank you!
