✔ Expert-Led Training

This course was created and is taught by industry-leading reliability engineer Dr. Chris Jackson. Chris holds a Ph.D. and MSc in Reliability Engineering from the University of Maryland’s Center of Risk and Reliability. He is a Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE) through the American Society of Quality (ASQ) with substantial experience in the field of leadership, management, risk, reliability and maintainability. He's supported many complex and material systems to develop their reliability performance and assisted in providing reliability management frameworks that support business outcomes (that is, make more money). For the last few years, Chris has been teaching online courses to a variety of organizations across multiple industries in a multitude of reliability engineering topics.
