Velosi is conducting Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA) – Level II Training.
The Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA) – Level II Training is designed to equip maintenance and reliability professionals with advanced knowledge and practical skills in lubricant analysis and condition monitoring. Building on foundational concepts, this course focuses on the interpretation of oil analysis data, lubricant selection, contamination control, and proactive maintenance strategies. Participants will gain the expertise needed to identify and prevent machinery failures, optimize lubrication practices, and support reliability-centered maintenance programs in line with international standards.
-
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand advanced lubrication concepts
- Recognize the role of lubrication in equipment reliability and performance.
- Interpret oil analysis test results
- Analyze data to detect signs of potential machine failures.
- Select appropriate lubricants
- Match lubricants to machine types and operating conditions.
- Develop contamination control strategies
- Design effective plans to minimize and manage lubricant contamination.
- Apply correct lubricant sampling and storage practices
- Use proper techniques for sampling, handling, and storing lubricants to ensure data integrity.
- Recommend corrective actions
- Propose maintenance actions based on oil analysis findings and reliability standards.
- Enhance predictive maintenance programs
- Utilize oil analysis to support proactive maintenance strategies.
- Align with international lubrication standards
- Apply practices in line with industry guidelines (e.g., ICML).
- Understand advanced lubrication concepts

Education and/or Experience
Candidate must have 24 months experience in the field of lubricant-analysis-based machinery condition monitoring (based on 16 hours minimum per month of experience). This represents a minimum of 384 hours spread consistently over two years.
Hold Level I Machine Lubricant Analyst (MLA) certification OR
If you do not hold the MLA I certification, perhaps you can qualify as a “Mature Entry” candidate. You will need to provide 1) a signed letter from your supervisor outlining your 576 additional hours of work experience in the field of lubricant-analysis-based machinery condition monitoring and detailing your duties performed and 2) the letter should also outline the types of informal trainings you have received as they are relevant to the MLA I Body of Knowledge adding up to a minimum of 24 hours of training.
