Obtaining certification can be a challenge; new terms, concepts and topics can overwhelm even the most experienced reliability experts. Training experts all agree that extending the learning beyond the classroom dramatically increases knowledge retention. To aid in this retention and create an innovative student experience, Noria is pleased to offer the Noria Academy app. With a robust and responsive design, the Noria Academy app’s different study modes include flashcards with the ability to sort the cards by confidence level and specific topics. The app also features practice exams, containing multiple choice questions from all topic areas, and students have the option to simulate an actual exam or do a quick question review. Comprehensive charts provide instant feedback for the student, demonstrating guidance on topics that are mastered or need additional attention. We make it easy to prepare for certification exams like the International Council for Machinery Lubrication's (ICML) Level I and II Machinery Lubrication Technician (MLT I / MLT II) certification, Level II and III Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA II / MLA III) certification, and Machinery Lubrication Engineer (MLE) certification, as well as other reliability certifications. All study materials align with classroom course content, allowing students to begin studying even before the class starts.
