They are designed to meet the stringent requirements for the structured training of vibration condition monitoring practitioners and to provide suitable preparation for the corresponding PCN certification examinations. Such certification is extremely important across a range of industries, including the oil and gas sector, as it has become a requirement for many employers to ensure that the vibration analyst has the proven necessary skills to perform the often demanding task of vibration analysis.
