Course Description
The Asset Reliability Practitioner: Leader (ARP-L) course is intended for those who take the lead role in the reliability and performance improvement program. Great responsibility comes with this opportunity, and the course is designed to set the leader up for success.
The reliability program leader must understand the business case, culture change requirements, strategy, and leadership skills necessary for success — with requirements that go beyond other certification programs such as CMRP. Accredited certification is provided through the certifying body (ISO/IEC 17024).
