Certification Programme

NJN Academy

The Practical Asset Management Framework — the eight pillars I've used to move operations from firefighting to control — now a full online certification. Eight modules, each with a video, a podcast and a written lesson, built from the field and aligned to ISO 55001:2024. Module 1 is free.

What you get

A complete, self-contained certification — not a playlist. Study it your way, prove it on the exam, and walk away with tools you'll use on Monday.

🎓

One certification, eight pillars

Operating Model, Criticality, Maintenance Tactics, Work Management, Defect Elimination, Performance, Lean & Six Sigma, and Integration & People.

🎬

Three ways to learn

Every module has a video, a podcast and a written lesson with worked examples, apply-it steps and common pitfalls.

📝

Quizzes + a final exam

Module quizzes at 70%, a certification exam at 80%. The certificate means you can actually do the work.

📜

ISO 55001:2024-aligned certificate

A professional Certificate of Achievement on completion, issued in your name with a verifiable credential ID.

🧰

Graduate toolkit

Pass, and you get the working Excel toolkit: criticality matrix, RCM/FMECA, work-management checklist, 5-Why, KPI tracker.

⚙️

Built on SAP PM

Transaction codes and real configuration throughout — the principles apply to any CMMS/EAM (Maximo, Oracle, Infor).

The eight modules

Each pillar feeds the next — the output of one is the input of another. Start with the Operating Model (free) and build from there.

1
The Operating Model
Governance, roles and the line of sight — free taster module.
2
Asset Criticality
Risk-based classification that drives every downstream decision.
3
Maintenance Tactics
RCM, FMECA and the right strategy per failure mode.
4
Work Management
The six-step planning, scheduling and execution engine.
5
Defect Elimination
Find root causes; stop recurring failures for good.
6
Asset Performance Management
The KPIs that drive action — MTBF, OEE, PM compliance.
7
Lean & Six Sigma
DMAIC, SIPOC and variation, applied to maintenance.
8
Integration, People & Sustainment
Make it stick — competence, cross-pillar flow, and drift detection.
