Upskill maintenance staff with condition monitoring training
Upskill maintenance staff with condition monitoring training
Properly trained maintenance staff can significantly reduce operational costs. WearCheck offers expert-led condition monitoring courses, ensuring teams stay updated with the latest techniques for optimal efficiency and asset reliability.
Maintenance costs – traditionally grudge expenses for transport operations – can be minimised when maintenance crews are properly trained in condition monitoring processes. So says Steven Lumley, technical manager at WearCheck. “The rate at which technology is advancing in many aspects of condition monitoring dictates that regular technical training is necessary, to ensure that staff members stay abreast of the latest techniques and that they understand and implement the most efficient processes,” she notes.
Lumley outlines the available technical training options: “We offer more than 15 courses, covering various topics from general oil analysis to thermography, transformer maintenance, and more. The courses are presented by experienced WearCheck experts in each field, and most courses award valuable continuing professional development (CPD) points to delegates.
“WearCheck has run oil analysis courses for more than 20 years, and has been accredited to run Mobius courses since 2015. Our training material is regularly refined to ensure that the content is relevant, useful and accurate,” she elaborates. “The courses are targeted at different levels of maintenance crew members, from introductory right up to extremely scientific and technical.”
WearCheck’s 2025 customer training courses include oil analysis courses and Mobius courses, while the company also offers other on-site courses on request, such as WearCheck’s Customised oil analysis for workshop technicians (full day).
