Maintenance & Reliability Training for Manufacturers
eLearning programmes for maintenance and reliability teams — from the difference between planning and scheduling to reliability-centered and predictive maintenance strategy.
What’s included
- Maintenance Planning & Scheduling
- Reliability Centered Maintenance
- Reliability Engineering Excellence
- Predictive Maintenance Strategies
Why this matters
Planning and scheduling, properly separated
Maintenance Planning & Scheduling teaches the two as distinct disciplines — read our related article on why that distinction matters.
A structured reliability method
Reliability Centered Maintenance gives teams a disciplined way to decide what maintenance strategy actually fits each asset.
Ahead of the failure, not after it
Predictive Maintenance Strategies moves teams from reactive repairs toward catching problems before they cause downtime.
Frequently asked questions
Is maintenance planning the same course as scheduling?
No — they’re taught as distinct disciplines. See our article on maintenance planning vs scheduling for the difference and why it matters.
Do we need a CMMS before this training is useful?
No. Define the planning and scheduling functions first — a CMMS helps you scale and measure the process, but doesn’t create one.
What is Reliability Centered Maintenance in plain terms?
A structured method for deciding the right maintenance strategy for each piece of equipment, rather than applying the same schedule to everything.

How to enrol
Most SCMEP courses can be delivered virtually, at an SCMEP location, or on-site at your facility. Availability and scheduling change through the year, so the training team is the fastest route to current dates.
- Tell us what you need — the area, roughly how many people, and whether you’d prefer on-site or virtual.
- We confirm what’s scheduled — or what it takes to run it for your team.
- Your team trains — with follow-up through the OpExChange peer network where it helps.
