What can the course lead to?

ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity qualifications can lead to various job opportunities in industries that require mechanical joint assembly and maintenance. These qualifications provide individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to ensure the integrity and safety of mechanical joints, such as flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, in industrial settings.

Some potential job roles that can be pursued with ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity qualifications include:

  1. Mechanical Joint Integrity Technician / Bolt Technician: As a technician, you would be responsible for the assembly, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of mechanical joints. You would ensure that joints are correctly installed and tightened to prevent leaks, and you may also conduct tests and inspections to verify joint integrity.
  2. Mechanical Joint Integrity Inspector: In this role, you would perform detailed inspections and assessments of mechanical joints to identify any defects or potential issues. You would follow industry standards and procedures to ensure compliance and may be involved in conducting non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques.
  3. Mechanical Joint Integrity Supervisor: As a supervisor, you would oversee a team of technicians and inspectors, providing guidance, training, and support. You would ensure that work is carried out according to specifications, safety regulations, and quality standards. Additionally, you may be involved in planning and coordinating joint integrity activities.
  4. Maintenance Technician: Mechanical joint integrity is an essential aspect of industrial maintenance. With these qualifications, you could work as a maintenance technician, focusing on the inspection, repair, and replacement of mechanical joints in various equipment and systems.
  5. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Inspector: QA/QC inspectors play a crucial role in ensuring that mechanical joints meet specified quality standards. With your knowledge of joint integrity, you could specialize in inspecting and assessing the quality of joints during manufacturing or construction processes.

These are just a few examples of potential job roles. The specific job opportunities available will depend on the industry you choose to work in, such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, manufacturing, or construction. It's important to note that gaining practical experience in addition to the ECITB Mechanical Joint Integrity qualifications can further enhance your career prospects in this field.

What is the duration of the course?

Each technical test lasts approximately 2-3 hours.

The combined test package can be run over 1 or 1.5 days, as determined by the candidate and / or employer.

What are the entry requirements?

For newly train workers, In order to complete all TMJI modules, delegates must have completed all stage 1 training which includes:

  • MJI10: Hand Torque Bolted Connection Techniques
  • MJI18: Hydraulic Tension Bolted Connection Techniques
  • MJI19: Hydraulic Torque Bolted Connection Techniques

Candidates will also need to complete stage 2 workplace training. They must have completed logbooks, giving evidence of on-the-job experience. The workbooks must be signed off by a supervisor, line manager or a person with responsibility for the final approval and quality assurance for the relevant tasks.

PLEASE NOTE: ECITB MJI Approved Course "Training Certificates" which are received upon successful completion of MJI 10, MJI 18, and/or MJI 19, are valid for a 12-month period only for stage 3 technical testing application purposes. These certificates must also be supported by stage 2 ECITB MJI "work based task assignment(s)" completed within the same 12-month period. If the 12-month training to technical testing period elapses, the full MJI process must be attended again from stage 1.

For Experienced Workers, a company letter of endorsement confirming attendance at hand/hydraulic torque and/or tensioning training or copies of pertinent ECITB certificates (where applicable) and that the individual has workplace experience in the MJI subject area they are being tested in. Experienced Worker Definition: The individual would have a mechanical background typically from an apprenticeship route such as mechanical, pipefitting, or plating, and experience in the engineering construction industry, with verifiable relevant and sustained recent experience in mechanical joint integrity activities. The individual would hold safety certificates such as the CCNSG Safety Passport or BOISET/MIST certificates.

For Private individuals will be required to submit a detailed CV with two referees regarding MJI activities carried out regularly and copies of pertinent ECITB certificates (where applicable) or other training certificates to the Test Centre before the test session. This will indicate that the individual has previous hand/hydraulic torque and/or tensioning training or pertinent ECITB Endorsed Course attendance and has workplace experience demonstrated in the CV on the MJI subject area to be tested in.

What does the course cover?

Technical testing with the associated ECITB certificate of achievement plays a key role in validating a candidates skill, ability and job knowledge in a specific task or activity. Each technical test contains 10 questions and a practical activity on the specified test.

Course Summary

There are three ECITB approved Technical Mechanical Joint Integrity (TMJI) tests which include an online technical test for each including;

TMJI10: Hand Torque Flanged Joints

  • Successfully use the appropriate tools and equipment to dismantle, inspect flanges and report faults, prepare, assemble and secure a flanged pipework joint as per the specified drawing and within set tolerances

TMJI18: Hydraulic Torque Flange

  • Successfully use the appropriate tools and equipment to dismantle, inspect flanges and report faults, prepare, assemble and tension a bolted connection using hydraulic tensioning equipment as per the specified drawing and within set tolerances

TMJI19: Hydraulic Torque Clamp

  • Use the appropriate tools and equipment to dismantle, inspect clamp connector components and report faults, prepare, assemble and tighten a bolted connection using hydraulic torque equipment as per the specified drawing and within set tolerances

How is the course assessed?

Technical Tests are the most flexible, economical and ‘instant’ way to assess and validate the ability of individual employees or prospective recruits to perform the skill-based tasks that the industry needs. A Technical Test ensures a Craftsperson or Technician has the skill, ability and job knowledge relevant to the work they are required to carry out. Each Technical Test examines a very specific aspect of an engineering construction discipline.

The technical tests are comprised of two elements: knowledge testing and practical skills testing, the format is explained in Section 1 and 2 below.

1. Knowledge Test The candidate will take an online test, consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions per technical test to assess theoretical knowledge of the technical area. The candidate will answer the 10 randomly generated questions from a large pool of knowledge questions. The candidate has to achieve an 80% pass mark to move onto the practical test. Achieving less than 80% in this knowledge test will result in a test referral and the candidate will have to retake the knowledge test questions again.

2. Practical Test The candidate will undertake a highly specified practical assessment with candidate instructions in various prescribed stages under continuous observation by the examiner. All parts of the practical test must be completed to the required standard, the candidate will be briefed on the practical test and understand exactly what is expected of them. All test criteria must be met to achieve a pass mark in the test. Any test criteria not achieved to the specified standard will result in a test referral.
