CMSP

Certified Maintenance Strategy Professional

The only global credential focused entirely on maintenance strategy design and implementation — not just knowledge, but demonstrated ability to build a criticality-driven, RCM-informed, ODR-integrated strategy for a real facility. No equivalent exists anywhere globally. For plant managers, reliability leaders, and senior practitioners who design the programme, not just execute it.

✓ Exam + portfolio submission

Practitioners Across Africa Are Already Here

What maintenance and reliability professionals across the continent say about being part of ASMR.

ASMR gives me something no other body has — a community that understands the specific challenges of maintaining heavy equipment in an African operational environment. The knowledge hub alone has changed how my team approaches PM planning.

Adebayo Okonkwo
Maintenance Manager · Oil & Gas · Lagos, Nigeria

I passed my CMRP using the ASMR preparation resources. The exam prep course is thorough, practical, and built for people who are working full time. I could not have done it without this community behind me.

Njeri Mwangi
Reliability Engineer · Manufacturing · Nairobi, Kenya

We enrolled our entire maintenance leadership team as corporate members. The ROI was immediate — templates, frameworks, and peer connections directly improved how we plan and execute our annual maintenance programmes.
