Advanced Heavy Lifting and Transportation Techniques for Onshore and Offshore Projects
Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Faced with increased demands and growing competition, many utilities and industries are seeking to maximize the value of their existing assets by leveraging new technologies to optimize Operations and Maintenance activities. One of the most successful maintenance strategies is a conditioned-based approach that utilizes data collected from periodic inspections, testing and predictive maintenance technologies to determine the optimum maintenance requirements.

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses cover?
The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.
Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?
These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.
How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
