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.

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.
Download
the re-certification form (in PDF format). Detailed
instructions concerning recertification may be found
in the Candidate Guide for Certification and
Recertification which may be downloaded using the
