Vibration Analysis Category III training is designed for experienced analysts who are responsible for advanced machinery diagnostics, non-routine investigations, acceptance testing, and the development or direction of condition-monitoring programs.
Participants progress beyond routine fault identification into advanced spectral and time-domain analysis, rotor and structural behaviour, vibration program design, instrumentation selection, alarm management, technical reporting, and the leadership of Category I and Category II personnel.
Participants should hold a valid Category II vibration-analyst certification and possess substantial practical experience in machinery vibration condition monitoring and diagnostics. They should be comfortable with instrument configuration, spectra, time waveforms, phase analysis, fault diagnosis, severity evaluation, balancing fundamentals, and technical reporting.
Course attendance does not automatically establish eligibility for Category III certification. CMVA currently requires Category II certification, the applicable formal training, and a minimum of 36 months of cumulative practical vibration experience. Candidates should review the current CMVA certification requirements before registering for an examination.
The certification exam is at the course completion (day 5, afternoon) provided by Canadian Machinery Vibration Association (CMVA).
