Plastic welding course
Personalized courses throughout Italy for plastic welding
The plastics sector (PE, PP, PVC, PA, PVDF, etc.) has been growing constantly for decades and requires qualified personnel in welding activities to ensure the best results.
Our courses cover the welding of polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC and other materials' pipes, fittings, sheets and membranes, with the aim of preparing welders to pass qualification exams.
The main reference standards for qualifications are UNI 9737 and EN 13067.
During the courses, the following welding processes are defined:
- Thermal element welding
- Electrofusion welding
- Hot gas welding
- Extrusion welding
- Solvent welding
We organize courses at our Busto Arsizio (VA) headquarters, at our support locations, or directly at your company, anywhere in Italy.

Polyethylene Welder Coordinator
Standard UNI 10761 defines the requirements, skills, and responsibilities of personnel responsible for coordinating welding activities for polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings. These activities concern the construction, testing, and maintenance of piping systems intended for the conveyance of combustible gases, water, and other pressurized fluids.
The standard establishes the criteria for the training, qualification, and certification of this professional figure, providing guidelines for the technical management, planning, and control of welding operations.
UNI 10761 is aimed at:
- Welding Coordinators: personnel who assume direct responsibility for welding operations and construction and testing phases.
- Specialized welders wishing to access coordination roles.
- Works management and site managers involved in the laying and maintenance of polyethylene networks.
- Companies operating in the gas, water, and pressurized fluid sectors, where regulatory compliance and certified quality are required.
Both theoretical and practical parts are planned for the course and qualification exam according to UNI 10761
