About ERI

 

ERI (Equipment Reliability Institute) is a specialized school for the training of engineers and technicians. We focus on solving hardware reliability problems. ERI Specialists consult on specific problems. We offer instructor-led training at client facilities and at major cities. ERI also offers a Distance Learning Program in Vibration and Shock Testing.
Training

Random Vibration BookTraining is intended to provide engineers, technicians and others with knowledge, skills and attitude needed to perform (or more effectively perform) a specific job. ERI training is not education that's intended to make people well-rounded.

Formal training is needed when one or more people in an organization need new skills or knowledge and no colleague has the time or the skills or the training resources to teach him.

ERI offers open courses, onsite courses and distance learning training.
