Course Description
The Asset Reliability Practitioner: Engineer (ARP-E) course is intended for reliability engineers focused on the technical aspects of reliability, maintenance, and asset health monitoring. It provides the depth of knowledge required to operate a reliability improvement initiative.
The reliability engineer must have depth in reliability analysis, maintenance strategy, best practice, and condition monitoring. ARP-E develops these technical competencies with requirements that go beyond many other certification programs. Accredited certification is provided through the certifying body (ISO/IEC 17024).
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Apply reliability analysis techniques and methodologies
- Develop and optimise maintenance strategies
- Implement condition monitoring as part of a reliability program
- Apply RCM, FMEA, and root cause analysis
- Use reliability data and metrics to drive decisions
- Design asset life-cycle and criticality-based strategies
- Prepare for the ARP-E certification exam
How the course is delivered
The course combines BII Research's Crystal Clear technical content with expert instruction and applied exercises in reliability analysis, maintenance strategy, and condition monitoring. Case studies reinforce the technical decision-making required of a reliability engineer.
Participants access the the online learning platform and the professional community for continued technical development.
