STLE Learning Pathways

STLE Learning Pathways provide a roadmap to the knowledge needed by the technically competent Lubrication Specialist or Oil Analyst and is useful as you prepare for CLS and OMA certifications.

This body of knowledge includes extensive peer-reviewed reference materials filtered by relevant key subject areas(Priority Groups) and then further divided into Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced competency levels for better use as a self-study or reference guide.

  • Basic: covers information required to develop a basic understanding of the key subject area.
  • Intermediate: covers information typically required to be competent in the key subject area.
  • Advanced:  covers more information than typically required for a Lubrication Specialist or Oil Analyst (covered in the certification exam), but are useful for job-specific requirements and responsibilities.
