IPI Learning is a one stop training centre for a range of predictive mainte-
nance technologies, including infrared thermography (IRT), infrared windows
and electrical safety, airborne ultrasound, vibration, condition monitoring
and alignment.

We provide a comprehensive range of training courses in predictive mainte-

nance (PdM). From professional thermographers to in-house maintenance
engineers, from pest inspectors to building Inspectors, our training courses
are designed to provide you with the skills you need to perform your surveys
with confidence, competence and most importantly, results.

For almost 20 years, IPI has provided expert predictive maintenance ser-
vices, including training, sales support and professional consultancy to indus-
try. Our trainers are all professionally certified, have decades of real world
experience, and are qualified in training and assessment (TAE 40110) in Aus-
