SMRP and its certifying organization, SMRPCO, offer world-leading certification programs for maintenance, reliability, and physical asset management professionals.
The CMRP exam is a thorough test of a broad scope of expertise measured against the universal standard. It was developed to assess professionals’ aptitude within the five pillars of the SMRP Body of Knowledge, which include: business and management, manufacturing process reliability, equipment reliability, organization and leadership, and work management.
The CMRP is accredited by ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), formerly known as the American National Standard Institute (ANSI), an independent third-party organization that evaluates certification programs and organization requirements on a regular basis. The CMRP exam is the only certification program of its kind accredited by ANAB under the ISO/IEC 17024 standard. Visit anab.ansi.org to learn more about accreditation.
CMRT is the leading credentialing program for the knowledge, skills and abilities of maintenance and reliability technicians. The certification assesses the proficiency of those responsible for preventative, predictive and corrective maintenance – multi-skilled individuals who play a critical role in the success of organizations worldwide.
The CMRT exam tests competency and knowledge of specific tasks within four domains: Maintenance Practices, Preventative and Predictive Maintenance, Troubleshooting and Analysis, and Corrective Maintenance. CMRT is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under the ISO/IEC 17024 standard. Visit anab.ansi.org to learn more about accreditation.
