KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) — SPM Instrument, a global leader in condition monitoring, has announced the establishment of SPM Academy Inc in the United States to serve as a worldwide hub for vibration training and certification, strengthening industrial reliability expertise across sectors.
Led by SPM Instrument North America chief executive officer, Bill Partipilo, the academy builds on the company’s long-standing commitment to innovation and customer support through education.
“Our new global training centre gives maintenance and reliability professionals the chance to develop their skills through interactive, high-quality course materials – in their local language, on a platform or location that suits them,” said Partipilo in a statement.
SPM Academy’s training programmes combine practical exercises, simulators and real-world case studies for a dynamic learning experience. The training and certification processes comply with ISO/IEC 17024, ISO 18436-1 and ISO 18436-2 standards.
The SPM Academy Certification Center is currently seeking accreditation from the ANSI National Accreditation Board to ensure certification meets independent, internationally recognised standards.
Courses are developed and taught by vibration experts Christer Larsson and Dennis Swanepoel, both Vibration CAT IV certified, who bring extensive industry experience to the classroom.
Scheduled for launch in November, SPM Academy will offer courses in English, Spanish and Swedish, available in classrooms, online or on-site. The first programmes—Vibration Analysis CAT I and CAT II—will commence on Jan 1, 2026, followed by CAT III and CAT IV.
Each course will conclude with an optional ISO 18436-2 certification exam conducted independently by the Academy’s Certification Center. Course details are available at spmacademy.com.
SPM Academy is also inviting independent training centres globally to explore collaboration and accreditation opportunities.
