Vibration Analysis Category I training is an instructor-led foundation course designed for maintenance technicians, reliability professionals, inspectors, and others entering the field of machinery vibration analysis. Participants learn the fundamental theory, measurement principles, instrumentation, and basic diagnostic techniques used in single-channel machinery condition monitoring.
Through technical instruction, demonstrations, and practical exercises, participants develop the skills required to collect reliable vibration data, recognize common fault conditions, compare measurements against established alarm criteria, and contribute to clear machine-condition reports. The course provides a minimum of 32 instructional hours and is aligned with the training requirements of ISO 18436-2 for Category I vibration analysts.
