Certified Reliability Professional ( CRP ) Program: A Professional Reliability Engineering Certification Program

 

Certified Reliability Professional
Project Guidelines:

15 of the 35 CRP credits required for certification must be earned through a project that demonstrates the Candidate's ability to apply the learned body of knowledge in a way that will benefit his/her company.

 

*

Candidate identifies an application project that applies relevant Reliability Engineering concepts and techniques in a way that will benefit his/her organization.

*

Scope of the project should be:

  *

relevant to reliability course material,

  *

able to be executed on-site where candidate works, and

  *

sufficient to demonstrate understanding of the material.

*

Candidate uses the required form to submit a project proposal to the CRP Board for review and initial approval. Please submit proposals to the ReliaSoft office that serves your region. If you have questions, you may also contact CRPAdmin@ReliaSoft.com.

*

The CRP Board reviews the project proposal based on established evaluation criteria (*.PDF, 68 KB) and the combined engineering experience of the CRP Board members. If the proposal is accepted, a Project Mentor is assigned to evaluate the project materials that are submitted and identify any issues that may need to be addressed before moving forward.

  *

It is important to note that a CRP Project Mentor is not a consultant or coach. It is the Candidate's responsibility to design and carry out the project and to submit materials for review at each stage.

*

Candidate executes project at work site.

*

Mid-way through the project, the candidate uses the required form to submit a report of the project status to the Project Mentor for review and feedback.

*

The Project Mentor and the CRP Board review the project to ensure that it meets the specified quality standards, including:

  *

Project scope is relevant to reliability course material.

  *

Project is executed with correct principles of reliability engineering.

  *

Project demonstrates an understanding of the course material.

*

If the CRP Board approves the project, the appropriate CRP credits will be granted. If the Project Mentor does not approve the project, the candidate is informed of what will need to be done to meet project requirements. Candidate then makes any needed adjustments and re-submits.
