Increased credibility as an industry professional
“I have found that my SMRP certification created value for me and my employer during both the industry and consulting periods of my career. Recognition of your abilities via CMRP certification is an essential element of being a recognized leader as a consultant and as a reliability leader within an organization.” -- Terry L. Jarrett, CMRP
Increased career opportunities
“The CMRP and CMRT provide professional growth for our employees. With the credibility and recognition that the certifications bring, the employees are able to pursue new opportunities within the company and attain new levels of responsibility. The CMRT certification provides career advancement in particular for craft employees as they learn a higher level of maintenance skills.” – David Rosenthal, PE, CMRP
Commitment to continuing education
“The CMRP exam opened my eyes to the fact that reliability does not start and end in the maintenance department. It starts with the vision of a company and touches every department and ends with world class benchmarking and excellent metrics. I found myself so energized; my next goal was to tackle the Certified Maintenance & Reliability Technician certification. This exam was equally rewarding.
Every day I find myself drawing from the knowledge base of these certifications. I have embarked on this journey to become a test proctor for these certifications with a promise to keep this program growing with a fixed and steady purpose to educate the work force.” -- Ray Leblanc, CMRP
Promoting reliability
“In 2004 I was introduced to SMRP and I found out that I was not alone and that everyone else had the same basic struggles I had in promoting and driving reliability in our companies. I was eager to move ahead so I decided to take the CMRP exam and after I passed, I was offered an opportunity to be involved with the certification advisory council.
Working with SMRP professionals and the advisory council has influenced me and my company greatly. At my company, our key metrics have improved greatly over the same time period and I attribute those changes to the influence of SMRP and my achievement of becoming a CMRP.”
-- Larry Hoing, CMRP, CMRT
