What's Happening

|
|
| June 2026: ICML redefines the lubrication workforce with non-technical certifications
 Introducing the General Lubrication Concepts (GLC) and Advanced Lubrication Concepts (ALC) certification exams—opening an entirely new pathway to companies that want to establish cross-functional literacy, stronger alignment, and improved performance throughout the entire lubrication ecosystem. Read more here. |
|
|
|
|
| Feb. 2026: Apprentice-level Certification Now Available for Inexperienced Candidates
 Responding to the Voice of the Customer, our LAT "Lubrication Apprentice Technician" certification exam offers the most suitable entry point for candidates with minimal lubrication work experience. And it is the most practical assessment tool to address workforce competency challenges early. Read more here. |
|
|
Aug. 2025: "Badge Bundle" discount for specialty exams
 Now practitioners can test for one of our specialty certifications (FPL for food-grade environments, or VIM and VPR for varnish expertise) for just $100 when they sit for any other regular certification exam at the same time. Read more here. |
|
| Do not let your ICML credential expire!
Your certification is valid for three years from the date you sat your exam, and it can be extended every three years by re-certification. ICML's re-certification program is based on a points system, where points can be accumulated through specific activities, including your continued employment in the field. It is an easy process, but we need to hear from you so we can ensure your certified status is maintained. Email info@lubecouncil.org for more information. |
|
| VARNISH Specialty Certifications  Our two specialized credentials—VIM and VPR—are designed to help condition monitoring and maintenance teams identify and develop key players in the perpetual fight against machinery varnish and deposits. Read more...
|
|
| Have you been to The Lube Room?
 In case you missed it, ICML started publishing its first-ever newsletter in August 2019, sending it out quarterly to thousands of lubrication certificants, trainers, and others with existing ICML relationships. Come read the back-issues and consider subscribing for "News to Keep You in Good Working Condition." |
|
| Can't travel to take an ICML exam in person? How about sitting it in your hometown or online instead? ICML may be able to offer an examination session on-site or locally--even for small groups or individuals. If you would like to find out more about that, please email us at registrations@lubecouncil.org. And as of June 15, 2020, you can also apply for an online exam that you can sit in the privacy of your home or office. Read more about that option here. |
|
| Looking for training near you? Start here! .jpg) Dozens of training providers all over the world have signed our partner agreement to give assurance to us—and you—that their certification classes satisfy ICML prerequisites. We list their names, regions, and links here. See the List...
