Have you been to The Lube Room?
 
The Lube Room logoIn 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."
 
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.
