Advanced Maintenance Management Training

Learning Outcomes

• Analyse the principles of reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) and total productive maintenance (TPM) to select appropriate strategies for different asset types.
• Design a comprehensive maintenance plan that integrates preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance with resource allocation and budgeting.
• Evaluate maintenance performance using key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE, MTBF, and MTTR, and recommend improvement actions.
• Implement a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) to streamline work orders, inventory, and reporting.
• Apply root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to systematically resolve recurring failures.
• Demonstrate leadership in maintenance teams by fostering a safety culture, managing change, and facilitating continuous improvement initiatives.

Target Audience

Maintenance managers, engineers, supervisors, and technical professionals responsible for planning, managing, or improving maintenance operations in industrial or commercial environments.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment. However, a background in engineering or technical maintenance is recommended.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions enable learners to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world maintenance scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners perform failure analysis, use condition monitoring tools, and practice planning and scheduling using a CMMS.

Practical Activities

• Failure Analysis and RCA Workshop — Learners work in groups to conduct a root cause analysis on a simulated equipment failure, using fishbone diagrams and 5 Whys. (4h)
• Condition Monitoring Hands-On — Learners use vibration analysers and thermal imaging cameras to collect data from simulated equipment and interpret results. (4h)
• Maintenance Planning and CMMS Simulation — Learners use a CMMS to create work orders, schedule tasks, and manage spare parts inventory for a mock maintenance plan. (4h)
• Integrated Maintenance Strategy Design — Teams design a maintenance strategy for a given asset, combining preventive, predictive, and corrective approaches, and present their plan. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
