Van Meeuwen Lubrication
Noria training courses
From November 2025, Van Meeuwen Lubrication will be the partner for Noria training courses in the Netherlands and Flanders. Are you interested in gaining more knowledge and insights into industrial lubrication? Through the Noria portfolio of various training courses, we can help you develop your skills in the field of lubrication maintenance.
And if you want to take a recognised exam, you can! Our colleague Corné Balvert, with almost 20 years of experience in the field, shares Noria’s knowledge in an enthusiastic and interactive way.
The target group
Anyone who wants to learn more about the field! So, if you work for an asset owner, a lubricant specialist, a maintenance company, or any other organisation, you are more than welcome.
The independent Noria knowledge base provides a foundation for solid, well-founded lubrication maintenance and the exchange of insights and experiences.
What does a typical training session look like?
It is based on the foundation course (Machinery Lubrication 1), which is a 3-day training course that concludes with a certificate of participation. Additionally, there is the option of taking an officially internationally recognised examination on the 4th day via the ICML (International Council for Machinery Lubrication).
Would you like to learn more? Then we can delve deeper with level 2!
If you don’t feel the need to delve into the subject in such depth, there are also opportunities to follow shorter, more practical training courses from the Van Meeuwen package. Please note that the training courses in our own package are based on experience gained internally and are not independent, unlike the Noria portfolio.
Various topics will be discussed over the 3 days
- Maintenance strategies
- Basic principles of lubricants
- Lubricant selection
- Contaminants (contamination)
- Contamination control
- Oil sampling points, procedures, and frequencies
- Basic oil analyses and reading an analysis report

The exam focuses on:
MLT-1 to Machinery Lubrication Technician 1 and/or,
