SPM AVA Category II
Intermediate vibration analysis certification — diagnosing single and multiple fault conditions and interpreting spectral data independently.
How it works
SPM AVA Category II builds on the fundamentals, taking analysts from recognising basic fault conditions to independently diagnosing single and multiple faults from spectral and time-waveform data.
VibroCon Academy delivers this course as authorised online e-learning through the SPM Academy TEC network, for analysts ready to take on independent diagnostic responsibility.

Common questions about SPM AVA Category II course
What's the difference between Category I and Category II?
Category I covers data collection and basic fault recognition; Category II builds independent diagnostic skill — analysing spectral data to identify single and multiple fault conditions without supervision.
Do I need Category I first?
It's the standard progression — talk to us about your current experience level if you're unsure where to start.
What comes after Category II?
SPM AVA Category III — our advanced-level course covering complex diagnostics, resonance and programme optimisation.
