From $967 per delegate

Description

This course equips learners with the knowledge and skills to monitor and control equipment maintenance procedures in a manufacturing or engineering environment. It covers the development of maintenance schedules, monitoring techniques, and corrective actions to ensure equipment reliability and compliance with organisational standards.

Learning Outcomes

  • Apply maintenance monitoring techniques to track equipment performance and identify deviations.
  • Analyze maintenance data to determine root causes of equipment failures and inefficiencies.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of existing maintenance control procedures and recommend improvements.
  • Implement corrective and preventive maintenance actions based on monitoring results.
  • Demonstrate the ability to maintain accurate maintenance records and reports.
  • Design basic maintenance schedules aligned with organisational policies and equipment specifications.

Target Audience

This course is designed for maintenance supervisors, team leaders, and technical staff responsible for overseeing equipment maintenance activities in industrial or manufacturing settings.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Day 1: Fundamentals of Equipment Maintenance Monitoring and Control

Objectives:
• Understand the principles of equipment maintenance monitoring and control.
• Identify different types of maintenance strategies (preventive, predictive, corrective).
• Explain the role of monitoring in extending equipment life and reducing downtime.
• Describe key components of a maintenance control system.
• Recognise relevant regulations and standards (e.g., OHS Act, SAQA unit standards).

Topics:
• Introduction to equipment maintenance management.
• Types of maintenance: reactive, preventive, predictive, proactive.
• Maintenance monitoring techniques: visual inspection, condition monitoring, performance data.
• Fundamentals of control procedures: scheduling, work orders, documentation.

• Interpret monitoring data to identify equipment faults and trends.
• Use control charts and key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess maintenance effectiveness.
• Develop maintenance schedules based on data analysis.
• Implement corrective actions in response to monitoring findings.

Topics:
• Detailed condition monitoring methods.
• Data collection and logging procedures.
• Statistical process control for maintenance.
• Root cause analysis and fault diagnosis.
• Maintenance performance metrics: MTBF, MTTR, OEE.
• Creating and updating maintenance plans.
• Work order management and prioritisation.
• Case studies: analysing real-world monitoring data.

Day 3: Integration, Optimisation, and Practical Application

Objectives:
• Integrate monitoring and control procedures into a cohesive maintenance system.
• Optimise maintenance strategies to improve equipment reliability and cost-effectiveness.
• Conduct a practical maintenance audit and develop improvement recommendations.
• Communicate maintenance reports and findings to stakeholders.
• Apply continuous improvement principles to maintenance processes.

Topics:
• Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and reliability-centred maintenance (RCM).
• Computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS).
• Auditing maintenance practices and identifying gaps.
• Cost-benefit analysis of maintenance interventions.
• Developing a maintenance improvement plan.
• Reporting and documentation best practices.
• Group exercise: creating a maintenance control procedure for a given scenario.
• Course review and assessment.

Practicals

No practicals for this training.

This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.

Daily Exercises — 30%

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 30% to the final total.

Final Test — 70%

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 70% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 30%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 70%
Final Total 100%

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

Certificate

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Daily Average 30% + Final Test 70%).

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.
