The Certified Maintenance & Reliability
Professional (CMRP) program is the #1 credentialing program
for certifying the knowledge, skills and experience of M&R
professionals. It's more than just committing textbooks
to memory; it's a thorough examination of individual expertise
measured against a universal standard.
Every facility needs at least one CMRP on its team- and
most should have more. They have the knowledge and skills
to ensure efficiency and productivity on site- from technical
skills and streamlined processes to performance management
and managerial confidence.

6. Re-Certification Requirements
To maintain their certification, all CMRP's must participate
in 50 hours of relevant skill development and training over
the 3-year re-certification period. This can be achieved
by participating in any combination of items from the list
of approved activities. Applicants must show participation,
and provide hours for a minimum of 2 areas from the list
of approved activities. Complete and return a re-certification
form by the anniversary date of your CMRP certification
along with the re-certification fee of $275 for non-SMRP
members which includes a one year membership, $150 for SMRP
members, or $100 if you are an employee of a Sustaining
Sponsor company. No other documentation need be submitted
with the form, but should be retained in case your submission
is one of the one (1) percent randomly chosen for audit
at time of submission.
In lieu of meeting this requirement, a CMRP may elect to
re-take the exam for certification.
