Course Overview

The EUSR-Endorsed Electrofusion Welding course provides practical and theoretical training for operatives working with polyethylene (PE) pipework using electrofusion welding techniques. Specifically designed for the utilities sector, this course ensures delegates are competent in producing high-quality joints in compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Training is suitable for new entrants seeking welding skills, as well as experienced welders needing formal certification or refresher qualifications. Techniques taught are applicable to PE80 (MDPE) and PE100 (HDPE/HPPE) materials and mapped to recognised frameworks, including CABWI MUN10 (NCO Water), City & Guilds 6028-210 (NCO Gas), and BS ISO 12176-2:2008+A1:2021.

Delegates gain hands-on experience in welding operations, joint preparation, and inspection, while also learning essential health, safety, and environmental practices to ensure compliant and safe working. The course culminates in an assessment leading to EUSR registration, validating the operative’s competency in electrofusion welding for utility pipelines.
