ICML and Certification Organizations

No. While you will receive a certificate of completion when you finish a Noria course, this is not a substitute for passing a certification exam through the International Council of Machinery Lubrication (ICML) or other third-party certification organizations.

Noria works closely with ICML, but to become certified through this organization, you will need to register directly with them for certification testing. For more information on ICML certifications and fees, please visit their website at www.icmlonline.com.

However, the Noria certificate of completion does provide documentation that you have successfully completed the course (including documented training hours), which can be useful for employee needs and/or registration for certification testing through a third-party, as there are often formalized training prerequisites.

Noria is an authorized training provider for ICML and provides various supplementary study material options to help further prepare individuals for certification testing.
