Course Synopsis
METALUX is proud to partner Mobius Institute, the “iLearn”
company to offer a brand new way to help you become trained
in vibration analysis. With the Mobius syllabus, your vibration
learning extends beyond the 4-days in a training room. Four
days just is not enough to master the complexities of vibration
analysis. Now you can take the instructor home with you and
continue your education.
This is how it works. When you come for the course, you get the
best instructors trained on the Mobius advanced method and
equipped with years of practical experience. You get the best
training aids including software simulators that revolutionize
the training room. Instead of requiring endless discussion
and diagrams to explain the range of complex concepts and
procedures, the simulators (and 3D animations) make it all
crystal clear in a fraction of the time.

When you leave the course, we
give you a CD with the world-
renowned iLearnVibration
training system that will provide
you with the training and reference
that you need to successfully
master vibration analysis. Back at
work, you can continue to utilize
iLearnVibration - because we all
know that the hardest questions
only come to mind when you are under pressure trying
to analyze data, not when you are attending the course.
Come for the METALUX – Mobius Intermediate Vibration Training

from the world experts in vibration training to improve your
understanding and application of machine vibration analysis.
Mobius Institute’s Bill Kilbey will be leading this course. Seats

WHAT PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS HAD TO SAY
“I have recently finished iLearnVibration Level 2 training.
I would recommend this to anyone as training that is REAL
value for money. I have done a lot of training in my working
life of 24 years and this is by far the best.”
Paul Bing
Winstone Pulp
“The software is great! I am a Technical Associates Level II
and even for me it has helped clear up some grey areas for
me. I wish I had this software 5 years ago when I first got
into this line of work as I am sure I would have progressed at
a much faster rate.”
Paul Jordan
Consultant
“...all credit goes to the very well designed interactive
training method by Mobius Institute. Every thing is very well
explained so that a student like me can easily understand all
concepts and techniques. So congratulations for you.”
Mahmood Ahmad Ghaznavi
Dubai UAE
“First of all is the quality of the topics discussed and the best
thing is to have them available all the time when needed
and share between our technical people day by day. This is
exactly as you say at the advertisements on the Internet,
remember I was using it before and I am truly convinced of
this benefit.”
Patricio Troya
Wartsila
about the trainer
Prior to joining Mobius Institute, Bill
Kilbey was the Manager of Worldwide
Training for Emerson Process
Management, CSI. Bill was responsible
for the development and delivery of all
CSI Training activities and personnel.
He has been in this role since 1997.
Bill received his initial vibration and
reliability training while serving as a
sound and vibration analyst in the submarine force for the
United States Navy. After completion of his military service,
he was a machinery reliability consultant with a large rotating
machinery repair organization.
“I’d like to take this chance to say that I found the Mobius
Institute Vibration II course to be the most beneficial course
that I have attended to date. The course tied together the
concepts of the frequency domain, time domain and phase
extremely well. The simulators gave a very clear visual
understanding of the concepts. Being able to control the
speed allowed for greater interrogation of the concepts.
I would recommend the Mobius Vibration courses to anybody
who wants to get a full and clear understanding of VA. The
certification was long overdue and the quick reference guide
+ the vibration mouse pads are a smart addition to the
package. Well done to you for a excellent training package.”
Keith Elson, Condition Monitoring Technician
Maintenance Technology
Alcan Gove

“Overall I found it to be an excellent course, and certainly
one of the most beneficial that I personally have attended.
Luckily enough I was able to start applying some of the
content the week after completing the course, so the
benefits have been evident immediately.”
Rodney Bussey, Condition Monitoring Engineer
Silcar Wesley Vale
Bill brings with him a wealth of troubleshooting experience
in many industries including petrochemical, pharmaceutical,
wood/paper products, mining, automotive, food processing
and general manufacturing. He has over 10 years experience
in teaching a variety of reliability related courses including
balancing, alignment, basic and advanced vibration analysis,
CBM software, Root Cause Failure Analysis and management
focused courses.

About the ISO Vibration Analyst Certification exam

Please note that you are certified by Mobius Institute (not by the International Standards Organization).
Mobius exams follow the ISO 18436.2:2002 standard as described below:

Level Number of questions Duration Pass mark

Category I 50 2 hrs 75%
Category II 100 3 hrs 75%
Category III 100 4 hrs 75%
Category IV 60 5 hrs 75%
As of the beginning of 2007 Mobius had customers in over 80 countries. Mobius has received National export award in 2003
and 2006, plus Plant Engineering product of the year awards for iLearnVibration, iLearnInterpreter, and most recently,
iLearnAlignment. Mobius Institute is the acclaimed training and certification arm.
1. All of the questions are multiple choice (choose from 4 options).
2. You are required to perform some calculations, so you must bring a calculator.
3. The exam is “closed book”, however you are provided with a booklet of standard tables, charts, formulae and basic reference
material.
4. To quote from the standard: “Questions shall be of a practical nature, yet test the candidate on concepts and principles

required to conduct machinery condition evaluations. The questions may involve the interpretation of charts and plots. Simple
mathematical calculations may be required.

Re-examination
To quote the standard: “A candidate who fails to obtain the pass grade required for certification may be re-examined any
number of times, provided that the re-examinations take place not sooner than 30 days after a previous examination.
A certification body may use its discretion in allowing an earlier re-examination in the event that further training acceptable
to the certification body concerned is undertaken. Candidates excluded for reasons of unethical behavior shall wait at least 12
months before reapplying.”

RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES
These are the recommended years of experience guidelines for each certification level. It is undesirable for people without
practical experience to hold Category II or higher certification levels.
To quote the standard: “Designation of a person
Level Number of months of practical experience as Category I is not a prerequisite for certification
Category I 2 as Category II. However, certification of a person
Category II 12 as Category III and Category IV requires previous
certification at the lower category. At each higher
Category III 36 classification category, the breadth and depth of
Category IV 60 experience is expected to be greater than at the
previous lower category.”

Period of validity & Annual fees

As per the standard, certification remains valid for five (5) years. You may retake the exam at any time within this period to
