Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the refresher and the full electrofusion welding course?

The refresher is a condensed, in-person session (combined theory and hands-on practical) for people who already hold, or have recently held, PMBWELD302E. You still complete and are assessed against the full unit of competency, so you receive the same nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, just in a shorter session than the full training day.

Am I eligible for the refresher?

You are eligible if you can show prior competency in PMBWELD302E gained within the last three years. Bring a copy of your USI transcript showing the unit, or a previous Statement of Attainment. You will also need a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI). If your last competency is older than three years, we recommend the full course.

Is this a credit transfer or recognition of prior learning (RPL)?

No. This is the full unit of competency delivered as a refresher, not a credit transfer or RPL. You complete the theory and the hands-on practical assessment on the day and are assessed against the current PMBWELD302E unit.

Is the certificate nationally recognised?

Yes. On successful completion you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for PMBWELD302E Join Polyethylene Plastic Pipelines using Electrofusion Welding, the same qualification issued for the full course.

What do I need to bring on the day?

Bring valid photo ID, your USI transcript or a previous Statement of Attainment as evidence of prior competency, and appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear. All welding equipment is provided by STES.
