ECITB International MJI: Hydraulically Tension Bolted Connection Techniques (IMJI 18)

Course Description

ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity IMJI18 concentrates on the skilled performance expected when working hydraulic tension bolted connections.

Why choose this course?

Internationally recognized certification: The ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity (MJI 18) training is globally recognized and adhered to by many oil and gas operators and contracting companies. This certification enhances your competency in handling mechanical joint operations in the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry, as well as in any industry where mechanical joint operations are undertaken, thus increasing your credibility with employers around the world

Opportunities to work abroad: The MJI certification, being internationally recognized, provides ample opportunities for employment overseas. The ECITB is associated with nearly 200 licensed training providers worldwide and has aligned its qualifications with local training programs in more than 25 countries. This ensures that the qualifications are valid across international markets, expanding your potential job horizons to regions like the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia

Job prospects from this training: MJI training could be particularly relevant for positions involved with the assembly and maintenance of mechanical systems, particularly those systems that involve bolted joints. This would include, but not necessarily be limited to, roles such as:

  1. Mechanical Engineers
  2. Mechanical/Bolting Technicians
  3. Maintenance Personnel
  4. Assembly Workers
  5. Offshore Oil and Gas Workers

Who is the course for?

The target group for ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity Training is anyone involved in hydraulic tension bolted connection activity in the work place.

What certificate will i receive?

ECITB International MJI 18 Training Certificate,

ECITB training certificates are valid for 2 years.

Learners progressing to technical testing have 1 year from the completion of this course to complete their technical test.

What can the course lead to?

Upon successful completion of the course, trainees will receive an ECITB MJI10 certificate, which has no expiry. However, to be certified as competent, trainees must complete work-based task assignments and pass a technical competence validation test TMJI 10/18/19 within a 12 month period.

From a career standpoint, this course can be a stepping stone for technicians and engineers involved in the use of hydraulic tensioning equipment. The skills and certification gained from this course could open up job opportunities in sectors that require knowledge of mechanical joint integrity, such as the oil and gas industry, manufacturing, and more.

Future training opportunities could include advancing to other ECITB products covering different aspects of mechanical joint integrity, such as MJI 10, MJI 11, MJI 19, MJI 20, and MJI 10, 18 and 19 combined training courses, and TMJI 10/18/19, TMJI11 (Hand Torque Clamp Connectors), and TMJI20 (Hydraulically Torque Clamp Connector Joints) technical tests.
