Resource & Domain Matching
CIMM test specifications were developed by combining the overall survey evaluations of importance, frequency, and criticality, and converting the results into percentages. Importance, frequency, and criticality ratings were weighted equally in this computation. These percentages are used to determine the number of questions related to each domain and task.
A list of possible CIMM book resources is provided below. The publisher of the book is noted after the title. ISA also has a variety of mechanical maintenance training CDs and online courses that would be helpful in preparing for CIMM. Visit www.isa.org/distancelearning for a complete list. For more information about the ISA products listed in this chart, go to www.isa.org/books, e-mail ISA at info@isa.org, call (919) 549-8411, or write to ISA at: 67 Alexander Drive, P.O. Box 12277, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.
