Course Overview

The EUSR-Endorsed Butt Fusion Welding course provides comprehensive theoretical and practical training for operatives and supervisors working with polyethylene (PE) pipe systems in water, gas, and utility networks. Delegates learn to perform safe, high-quality butt fusion welds on pipelines ranging from small-diameter service pipes to large trunk mains (90 mm–1,400 mm), in line with National Occupational Standards.

Mapped to CABWI MUNC10 (NCO Water), City & Guilds 6028-21 Unit 211 (NCO Gas), and EUS MUNC17 Joint Materials by Butt Fusion, this training equips participants with the knowledge and skills required to work confidently and compliantly on both PE80 and PE100 pipe systems.

The course is suitable for new entrants with little or no previous experience, as well as experienced welders seeking certification or refresher training. Hands-on practice in a controlled environment ensures delegates gain the competence needed for industry-recognised butt fusion welding.
