CMRP Exam Study Resources

A foundational belief in developing this examination is that professionals in the maintenance and reliability industry learn critical knowledge, skills and abilities
from a variety of sources, both on the job and from outside training; therefore, no speci c work experience or education are required for the certi cation.
Nevertheless, there are a number of resources that can aid in preparing for the CMRP exam, such as the SMRP Body of Knowledge, practice questions and
recommended readings.   

The Body of Knowledge

There are ve pillars in SMRP's maintenance and reliability Body of Knowledge for professionals: Business & Management, Manufacturing Process Reliability,
Equipment Reliability, Organization & Leadership, and Work Management. The critical knowledge, skills and abilities under each of these pillars are outlined in
the CMRP Candidate Guide for Certi cation and Recerti cation
