Paul Dufresne will lead Lubrication Engineers‘ online Xpert MLT I/MLA I class from March 25-27, with an optional online certification exam available the following day or later. The course covers the same material as an onsite class in an online format. Since 1951, Lubrication Engineers has provided solutions for lubrication challenges, helping customers extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs and improve efficiency.

In this course, managers, engineers and technicians alike will learn the impact that best-in-class lubrication practices can have on machine health and reliability. They will see why machine lubrication activities should be moved from modest and reactive to thorough, accurate and proactive. After the three-day class is over, qualified participants will have the optional opportunity to become certified as either or both Machinery Lubrication Technician I (MLT I) and Machine Lubricant Lubricant Analyst (MLA I).
