That's great to hear - MLA I is a solid certification and very useful from a fundamentals standpoint. Many organizations, including us, support and encourage it as part of building lubrication and reliability knowledge.
For preparation, I recommend starting with the core ICML-aligned topics:
- Lubrication fundamentals (types, properties, selection)
- Contamination control
- Lubricant storage and handling
- Basic condition monitoring and oil analysis interpretation
- Maintenance best practices
The primary reference is the ICML Body of Knowledge, along with study guides and training materials provided in these courses. I'll share any internal material we have that can support your preparation.
Feel free to let us know if there are any questions.
