Course Overview

The Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Certificate Course focuses on practical maintenance strategies used to improve equipment reliability, reduce breakdowns, control maintenance costs, and support safe building operations.

Preventive maintenance is based on planned inspection, cleaning, adjustment, testing, servicing, and replacement activities. Predictive maintenance uses equipment condition, operating data, measurements, trends, and observations to identify possible failures before they happen.

This course is suitable for professionals working in commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, residential towers, schools, universities, data centers, warehouses, industrial facilities, government buildings, and facility management companies.

Learners will understand how to prepare PM schedules, develop maintenance checklists, inspect HVAC and MEP systems, identify early signs of equipment failure, use BMS and CMMS data awareness, coordinate technicians and vendors, manage work orders, and prepare maintenance performance reports.

Why Choose This Course?

Poor maintenance can cause equipment failures, emergency repairs, high operating costs, occupant complaints, safety risks, energy waste, and shortened asset life. A strong maintenance program helps facilities move from reactive breakdown response to planned, controlled, and performance-based maintenance.

A skilled preventive and predictive maintenance professional must understand both technical building systems and maintenance management workflows. This course helps learners build practical knowledge for real facility maintenance environments.
