Frequently Asked Questions
How does certification work?
The certification journey, or pathway as we call it, consists of 3 main components: educational modules, application practice, and examination. To become a MI CMS (Marshall Institute Certified Maintenance Supervisor) you must successfully complete all of the knowledge modules and associated tests, you must meet all requirements and criteria for the applications exercises, and you must pass the two final exams: one application exam and one knowledge exam.
What is a Wave?
A Wave is group students who will be going through the certification pathway together. Each Wave will be led by a Coach.
How long is the certification pathway?
The certification pathway consists of 14 active weeks. The chronological duration may vary by a few weeks if there are Holidays during the certification pathway.
How many hours per week do I need to commit?
The weekly time commitment ranges from 1-12 hours
- 1 – 2 hours of scheduled meetings
- 1 – 2 hours of self-paced training

- 2 –12 hours of exam prep/completion
Note: Many of the activities you performed will be directly tied to your daily work as a maintenance supervisor. So, some of your certification time will double as work time and contribution.
What if there is a Holiday week during the Wave?
We will typically avoid Holiday weeks and as such we do not require any learning, application exercises, or homework to be done during Holiday weeks. Holiday weeks will be communicated to you by your Coach.
Can I just take the exams?
No. This is no ordinary credential. We don’t just verify your current knowledge. This special certification provides you with a growth pathway to deepen your knowledge and grow your job-focused competency, before we verify you with exams.
