• Understand different types of bearing failures and their causes.
• Develop analytical skills to perform root cause failure analysis (RCFA).
• Learn proper inspection, documentation, and reporting techniques.
• Apply preventive and corrective actions to reduce recurrence.
• Enhance reliability through best practices in lubrication, mounting, and handling.

• Maintenance Engineers
• Reliability Engineers
• Mechanical Technicians
• Rotating Equipment Specialists
• Asset Integrity and Condition Monitoring Personnel
