CBM Academy

What is the AVT Reliability BV (formerly Van Geffen Reliability) CBM Academy? Expert training that gives you the knowledge, skills and confidence to get the most out of your rotating equipment.

Beginners to advanced level condition monitoring training that includes vibration analysis, thermography, lubrication management & rotor dynamics.



CBM Training Academy

Understanding how to maintain machinery is a vital part of any condition monitoring programme. Being able to run diagnostics regularly and analyse results in-house is a valuable capability for keeping assets running reliably.

Some machine condition monitoring activities can be carried out within your organisation to complement specialist external support. However, success depends on having enough staff with the right knowledge and practical expertise to perform tests correctly and interpret results with confidence.

AVT Reliability EU addresses this through the CBM Training Academy, offering high quality training programmes that support condition-based maintenance and long-term asset reliability. Courses are suitable for plant operators, reliability engineers, supervisors and managers.


What makes our training different

Simplifying complicated subjects is where our training excels. Every course is designed to
improve the knowledge, competency and practical skills of your staff, with delivery aligned
to current ISO standards.
