Steps to Achieving CRP Certification

To achieve certification, candidates must gain, apply and demonstrate undeniable expertise in the field of Reliability Engineering. This is achieved through three steps. First, the candidate must attend a series of reliability training courses geared toward his/her area of specialization. Second, the candidate must undertake and successfully complete a project that will apply learned concepts in the workplace. Finally, the candidate must present his/her project experience in an industry conference or journal. Each activity in the program earns points (called "CRP credits") toward achieving Certified Reliability Professional certification. 35 points are needed for certification.
