Eruditio

What Eruditio does

Eruditio is a privately held Reliability, Operations, and Maintenance Training and Consulting organization founded in 2014 and headquartered in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The company serves enterprise industrial clients — including named accounts such as Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Bridgestone, PepsiCo, Oracle, and Los Alamos National Laboratory — across at least nine industry verticals, with a self-reported student base spanning 37+ countries.

Its core product is the iBL® (Inspired Blended Learning) methodology, a 6-12 month corporate training program that combines instructor-led classes, eLearning modules, real-world case studies, interactive scenarios, and facility-specific skills application activities. The iBL framework is delivered as discrete course modules for Operations Management, Reliability/Maintenance Engineers, Maintenance Managers, Planning & Scheduling, and Storeroom/Materials Management. Eruditio also offers a complementary catalog of standalone courses covering CMRT and CMRP certification preparation (aligned with the SMRP Body of Knowledge), Reliability Centered Maintenance and FMEA, Root Cause Analysis, Reliability Fundamentals, MRO Stores Management, and Leadership for Facilities & Maintenance. A differentiated capability is Augmented Reliability®, an augmented reality platform that visualizes complex equipment such as gearboxes and motors with exploded views for training use.

The business model is B2B enterprise training and consulting sold through direct field sales, on-site customized delivery, and a channel partnership with the University of Tennessee that grants Eruditio exclusive rights to the RMIC® credential pathway. Revenue streams include multi-month iBL program enrollments, professional services consulting, customized on-site training, and self-serve certification preparation courses. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the company claims a 95% graduation rate on iBL programs and an average client-side ROI of $400,000+. Leadership consists of founder Shon Isenhour and Director of Operations Brandon Weil, with the company operating with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding.
