EEMUA MIPC On-Demand

EEMUA's competency-based training course for mechanical integrity practitioners addresses the loss of primary containment of hazardous substances, a major cause of incidents and regulator interventions. The flexible online learning delivery and assessment, and robust certification means that Learners can be either at their work site or home working and gain relevant, industry accepted competence in a safety critical area.

EEMUA's Mechanical Integrity Practitioner Certificate (MIPC^(R)) training course is based on the guidance and good practice contained in EEMUA 177, EEMUA 231, EEMUA 232 and HSE PSSR ACOP.

Designed for Practitioners

Developed by EEMUA members from a range of industry sectors, the MIPC training course is primarily aimed at mechanical integrity practitioners working under UK legislation. MIPC learning materials and assessments are aligned to the following competency levels: Engineering Technologist (PAS 525 Professional Engineering Competence Level), Incorporated Engineer (UK-SPEC), and Category 2 (UKAS RG2).

Learners should already be actively engaged in a mechanical integrity role such as Corrosion Engineer, Inspection Engineer, Integrity Engineer/Officer, Mechanical Integrity/Asset Integrity Engineer, Operational Safety Engineer/Craftsperson and Plant Inspector. They should have three to five years experience in this type of position and a relevant qualification.

The MIPC training course will provide a clear view of challenges, trends and opportunities from a mechanical integrity perspective, tailoring the learning to the Learner's own industry sector and site/s. MIPC has been designed around the Learner experience, including Tutor and Mentor support, and a variety of online learning activities delivered via a corporate quality blended learning platform. Digital and printed copies of EEMUA Publications 177, 231 and 232 are provided as part of the course materials.

Topics are addressed via six Learning Cycles as follows:
