Motion Industries launches 2026 training programs for industrial professionals

Motion Industries, Inc., a leading distributor of maintenance, repair, and operation replacement parts, has announced the release of its 2026 course schedule by the Motion Learning & Development Center. The program provides training designed to equip industrial professionals with skills that deliver both immediate operational impact and long-term career growth.

The 2026 schedule includes three core categories of courses: technical training, professional development, and Microsoft Office instruction. Technical courses cover hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical systems, bearings and power transmission, CNC programming, process pumps, arc flash safety, programmable logic controllers, and reliability-centered maintenance. Professional development courses focus on leadership, communication, time management, conflict resolution, and teamwork. Microsoft Office courses include tiered instruction in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote.

Training is offered through open-enrollment classes led by subject matter experts and is available in-person at Motion Learning Centers across the U.S., at partner locations, virtually, and at customer sites. The main center in Birmingham, Alabama, features 20,000 square feet of classrooms, labs, and hands-on resources to support talent retention and career growth.

Brock Culpepper, Director of Learning & Development, emphasized the program’s practical value: “Our focus is to optimize our customers’ operations by providing training that builds practical skills for both their teams and our employees. Leading hands-on sessions and flexible virtual options, our well-qualified instructors equip students with the knowledge and confidence for success.”

Billy Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, added, “In today’s landscape, addressing industry’s skills gaps through technical training is more critical than ever. And honing soft skills can really help employees become well-rounded and move up the ladder. Motion’s diverse but carefully selected courses provide that and more.”

Registration for all 2026 courses is now open online at motionind.biz/43jOzJX or by calling 205-951-5000. Printable course schedules are also available for planning convenience.

The Center also provides training assessments, on-site instruction, and custom lab equipment. Since its founding in 1988 as The Motion Institute, the program has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of the industrial workforce.
