You want to implement a world-class ultrasound program and our virtual training platform empowers your technicians to learn on their terms and pace. But many training platforms can leave students with a feeling of disconnect. Therefore, our community of subject matter experts created the Vibration Essentials experience, a bundle of short modules designed to kickstart anyone on an engaged Vibration journey.
Vibration Essentials One (VE1) is the complete learning package for any condition monitoring technician who strives to become proficient across all elements of ultrasound inspection. Led by virtual instructors, our on-demand modules can be accessed from the comfort of your home, your office, or on-the-go somewhere in between.
In VE1 students will be taught the basics of vibration analysis.
Our primary goal is to transform condition monitoring technicians into competent, confident inspectors. And since competent inspectors are safe inspectors, you can expect every module to touch on essential habits for working safely.
UE1 sets the standard by upholding the unique and significant position ultrasound holds as the frontline technology for condition monitoring, energy management, quality control, and overall asset reliability.
Within the Practical body of knowledge there are twelve modules essential to creating a stable footing from which to build inspector competence.

There seems to be a universal understanding of what vibration is. People with no mechanical background may report a ‘vibration in the front end of the car’ to their mechanic. Someone sitting in a restaurant may notice the ceiling fan swinging back-and-forth and say its’ unbalanced. The homeowner might tell his service person that the heat pump is ‘vibrating like hell’ and makes a lot of noise. Noise is a by-product of vibration that increases as the vibration gets worse. In this module we discuss the defintion of vibration and how it is helpful to us in the condition monitoring field.

Asset Management is the umbrella under which these Maintenance Programs are grouped. It determines what must be done to ensure that physical assets like motors, pumps, turbines, monitoring equipment, process equipment, computerized maintenance systems, inventory and virtually every aspect of maintenance management, perform to their capabilities and expectations. This concept works best when personnel take ownership of their respective tasks and share in the decision-making process.
