FAQ

General Questions

Where do you organize training sessions?

Our training schedule specifies the language, country, and location of our sessions. However, we are able to train you everywhere around the globe.

Our on-demand sessions are built for this – simply pick a training and contact us to best organize the sessions in your location.

What is the maximum group size?

At TAE, we aim to keep groups small to foster interaction among participants during training sessions.

This is why we generally limit groups to 12 people.

What is the minimum number of participants?

We usually request a minimum of 5 participants.

Do you offer remote training?

TAE has decided to convert all of its certification training programs into a blended-learning format. This approach promotes self-paced learning combined with interaction with a subject-matter expert.

While we fully recognize that this is one of the learning methods of the future, we remain convinced that classroom training also continues to have its value. For more information, please contact us.

Once I register, do I get a copy of the training support?

Yes

Are there prerequisite for a training session?

We have listed all prerequisite on the training session page. Find it in our catalog.

Will I join a list of certified analysts after my certification?

Yes! If you get certified with TAE, we’ll add you to a list of certified analysts that is visible to all.

Certification Modalities

If I pass a Technical Associates Board of Certification (TABofC) exam, will I receive an ISO compliant certificate?

Yes, If you meet the minimum requirements.  The table below offers you more information.

How many training hours are required by ISO 18436 for each Category?

The table below offers you more information.

Can I continue my ISO compliant certification progression with TABofC if I began certification with another training organization?

Yes, if you submit documentation of your current ISO compliant certification, you may pursue the next higher ISO Category with TABofC.

Does ISO 18436-2 require me to be certified at the lower Category before proceeding to the next higher Category?

As per the ISO 18436-2 vibration standard, Category I certification is not a prerequisite for Category II. However, certification for Category III or Category IV requires previous certification at the lower category. You must have Category II certification to be eligible for Category III; and Category III certification to be eligible for Category IV.

How can I achieve full ISO compliant Vibration Category IV Certification from TABofC?

You would need to pass the Vibration Category IV exam and meet the minimum requirements of training hours, vibration work experience, and have a valid ISO Category III certification. The questions in this 5-hour Certification examination cover material from the 64 hours training material, so attendance at these classes is strongly recommended.

Why am I classified as a Provisional Candidate?

Candidates passing the exam but not having the required amount of training hours, vibration work experience and/or lower category certification, if applicable, will be classified as “Provisional Candidates” and issued a TAE certificate.

It will be the responsibility of these candidates to notify TABofC in writing when they meet all of the criteria required for the ISO category. At that time, such candidates will be issued full ISO compliant certification at the pursued category.

Can I get additional copies of my Certificate?

One copy of your certificate will be provided to you upon successful completion of your Certification exam.

Additional copies are available to you at a cost of €20. Contact [email protected] for additional questions.
