International Representatives offer the Vibration Institute’s training & certification programs to individuals & organizations within their region.

International Representatives have entered into an agreement with the Institute to conduct training, education and certification utilizing the Institute’s materials and follow established Institute policies and procedures.

CAT I – Introduction to Machinery Vibration (IMV)

This course helps prepare attendees to perform a range of simple, single channel machinery vibration condition monitoring and diagnostic activities.

This course meets the 30-hour training requirement for preparation for the Category I vibration analyst certification exam per ISO 18436-2:2014.

IMV prepares attendees to perform a range of simple machinery vibration condition monitoring and diagnostic activities. It is recommended for individuals as an introduction to machinery vibrations and is partial preparation for the Vibration Analyst Category I Certification Exam. The workshops and demonstrations scheduled throughout the training course are used to illustrate theory and applications. All registered attendees will receive:

• Course Training Manual
• Printed Copy of Course PowerPoints
• Workbook with examples, vibration related questions requiring a solution and 18436-2 Annex A from the Body of Knowledge
• Electronic Certificate of Course Completion

.The IMV training is a four-day course and it will begin at 8:00 A.M. and conclude at 5:00 P.M. Monday – Wednesday and 3:00 P.M. on Thursday

IMV Course Content Includes An introduction and background to Vibration; Sources, Uses, Effects, Definitions, Predictive Maintenance, Measurement Concepts, Machines, Basic Analysis, Vibration Sensors and Vibration Instrumentation.

There is a workshop supporting each chapter. The student will test their knowledge and understanding of the material presented for that chapter by completing the workshops during the time allowed in class. The instructor will then review the workshop with the class. The student’s time and understanding of the workshop materials will aid them in their preparation for the certification exam.

Training and Workshops Include:

1. Vibration Sources and Use; definitions, units, properties, measurements, motions, time, frequency, and amplitude.
2. Basic Machinery Vibration; conversions, analysis, excitation, natural frequencies, resonance and critical speeds.
3. Data Collection and Analysis; physical observations, sensors, frequency spans, measures, triggering, sensor mounting, sensor location and instruments.
4. Machine Characteristics; fault sources, frequencies, design, function, acceptance testing, fault and condition analysis.
5. Vibration Instruments; meters, oscilloscopes, data collectors, analyzers and virtual instruments.
6. Vibration Testing; periodic monitoring, data collection, transducer positioning, alarms and reports.
7. Basic Analysis; mass unbalance, misalignment, looseness, rolling element bearings, blade pass, vane pass and gear mesh.
8. Vibration Severity; bearing housing evaluation, shaft vibration, gears, bearings, charts and graphs.

It is recommended that attendees review the Body of Knowledge found in ISO 18436-2 Annex A, prior to the course.

CAT II Basic Machinery Vibrations (BMV)

BMV prepares attendees to perform basic vibration analysis on industrial machinery using single-channel measurements, with or without trigger signals, according to established and recognized procedures. It covers basics of sensors, database and data collector setup, data collection, signal processing, fault analysis, and basics of single plane balancing. It is partial preparation for the Vibration Analyst Category II Certification Exam. The workshops and demonstrations scheduled throughout the training course are used to illustrate theory and applications. All registered attendees in the Basic Machinery Vibrations training course will receive:

• Course Training Manual
• Printed Copy of Course PowerPoints
• Workbook with examples, vibration related questions requiring a solution and 18436-2 Annex A from the Body of Knowledge
• Electronic Certificate of Course Completion

The BMV training course is a five day course.  It will run Monday through Thursday 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. with the final day, Friday running 8:00 A.M. – 3:00 P.M. Subject to change.

BMV Course Content Includes An introduction and background to Basic Vibration; Sensors, Instrumentation, Measurements, Conversion of Measurements, Analysis Techniques, Balancing, Machine Condition and Evaluation.

There is a workshop supporting each chapter. The student will test their knowledge and understanding of the material presented for that chapter by completing the workshops during the time allowed in class. The instructor will then review the workshop with the class. The student’s time and understanding of the work shop materials will aid them in their preparation for the certification exam.

Training and Workshops Include:

1. Basic Machinery Vibrations; units, properties, measurements, motions, time, excitation, critical speeds, frequency and amplitude.
2. Data Acquisition; selecting a measure, transducers, frequency spans, data displays, and calibration.
