N2 - A significant challenge for Maintenance Management professionals is related to the need for them to possess a truly multi-disciplinary set of competencies. This paper presents an analysis of Maintenance Management training and competence assessment requirements, including results of a user survey conducted in EU countries. On the basis of this, a maintenance management curriculum has been defined. The design principles for a e-learning and self-assessment tool for maintenance management training and competencies assessment are outlined. The iLearn2Main tool has been developed based on an open source Learning Management System and is currently delivered in five European languages. It has been pilot-tested by user groups from industry and academia. The evaluation results analysis show high acceptance rates for the education tools, visually-appealing and well-structured content are crucial for the user acceptance of maintenance management e-training.
