So what is an electrofusion course and why should I do one?

Electrofusion courses (Unit of Competency PMBWELD302E) teach you how to join polyethylene (PE) pipes using purpose-built electrofusion fittings that heat and fuse the pipe together from the inside out. It’s a proven, reliable method used every day on water, wastewater and gas jobs across Australia.

If you’re installing pipelines the carry potable water, storm water, waste water or gas, PMBWELD302E is a mandatory requirement.  Lernna’s PMBWELD302E courses cover best-practice pipe preparation, correct welding settings, safety, and quality checks – with a strong focus on hands-on training, not just theory. You’ll learn what to do on site, what can go wrong, and how to get it right the first time.

Courses run over 1–2 days and can be completed on their own or combined with butt welding, making them ideal for both field crews and factory-based installers. The training is practical, relevant and designed around real job conditions.

Once you successfully complete the course, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment for PMBWELD302E – Join polyethylene plastic pipelines using electrofusion welding, giving you nationally recognised credentials to work on projects.

Lernna is a specialist Registered Training Organisation focused solely on electrofusion and butt welding across Australia. Our goal is simple: lift standards, lock in best practice, and make sure the people building and maintaining critical pipeline infrastructure are trained to do the job properly – every time.

We work closely with industry to deliver training that’s practical, compliant and aligned with Australian Standards, current technology and real-world conditions. With experienced trainers, straight-talk instruction and a strong safety focus, we help tradespeople build skills they can trust on site and assets that last long term.
