The Vibration Periodic Table Training concept is meant to enhance the student’s exposure to seminar content in a self-paced and self-directed manner. The training can be used to help solve a current plant vibration problem or as a refresher and reinforcement of previously learned concepts.
This course is designed for any level Vibration Analyst to help understand and classify fundamental machinery vibration faults in as much detail as desired without having to follow a direct path to get there.
The self-paced and self-directed format includes 35 fundamental vibration faults and their derivatives. Each fault is further dissected into 13 attribute sub-categories. The material is enhanced with actual machinery data, numerous real-life case histories and animation examples. The full package includes nearly 1000 pages of information.
The material can be read and reread as many times as desired, and also includes numerous audio files that help reinforce the concepts. The training includes conservatively 75+ hours of content (a conservative approximation) and can be used to fulfill ASNT and ISO required “experience” hours for formal certification.
Interactive Training pricing is based on a Monthly Subscription License. -

Category I Vibration Analysis Training is a 4-day ISO 18436-2 compliant certification course that prepares maintenance technicians, reliability engineers, and plant personnel to diagnose mechanical faults in industrial rotating equipment. Category I Vibration Analysis Training covers FFT spectrum analysis, bearing defect identification, machine fault diagnosis, and route-based data collection—taught by Dr. Karl Hoffower, the only ASNT PdM Level III instructor in the U.S. with dual endorsement in Vibration Analysis and Thermal/Infrared Testing. This training takes place at Failure Prevention Associates' Houston-area facility, the only U.S. training center featuring dynamic rotating equipment in a dedicated mill test lab, where the course delivers hands-on practice on actual machinery exhibiting real fault conditions rather than classroom simulations. Category I certification requires a 70% examination score and 6 months of field experience, with provisional certificates issued to students who pass the exam while accumulating the required experience.
