Uptime® Elements Body of Knowledge: What Changed for 2026

A live webinar from Reliability Leadership Institute®

The most implemented reliability framework in the world just got its biggest upgrade in a decade. Join Terrence O’Hanlon, creator of Uptime® Elements, for a one-hour guided tour of the expanded 2026 Body of Knowledge and what it means for you — whether you are preparing for the Certified Reliability Leader® exam, leading a team that already holds the credential, or building a reliability program from the ground up.

More than 6,000 organizations have implemented Uptime® Elements. More than 4,000 Certified Reliability Leaders practice it in the world’s most demanding environments. The framework has not changed. The five core Passports — REM, ACM, WEM, LER, and AM — remain exactly as they were and remain the primary source for the CRL exam. What has changed is everything around them. Every supporting and study resource has been rebuilt to make the pathway to CRL more effective for self-study and workshop students alike, before the exam and long after it.

In this session you will see what is inside the new Body of Knowledge and how each piece is meant to be used. The new 169-page CRL Exam Study Guide and Learning Exercises walks all 36 elements through the 10-20-70 Competency-Based Learning Approach and launches you into a 90-day Reliability Leadership Project on day one. The Guide to Domain Badges and Domain Mastery Belts answers the question every new CRL asks: what comes next? The first edition of Uptime® Elements Key Terms and Definitions gives your team one shared language. The Reliability Leadership Manifesto gives you something to stand for. Reliability Leadership Story 5, The Third Cure, shows what a digital line of sight from sensor to decision looks like when a plant finally gets it right. And the flash cards, posters, transit map, and sticker sheet move the framework out of the binder and onto the wall, the desk, and the plant floor.

You will leave knowing:

• Exactly what is new, what is unchanged, and why that distinction protects your certification investment
• How to put the Study Guide to work in a 90-day project, not just an exam cram
• Where the CRL pathway now leads after the credential: Domain Badges, Mastery Belts, and CRL Black Belt
• Whether you need the full Body of Knowledge or only the upgrade options to extend the set you already own
• How to turn the posters, cards, and glossary into daily team rituals instead of shelf décor

This is not a product demo. It is a working session on how reliability leaders learn, lead, and advance — hosted by the person who wrote the framework.

Bring your questions. Bring your team. Bring the Passports you already own.

Know. Be. Do. And create a future that was not going to happen anyway.
