Industrial Tubist Course
With our PipeFitter Industrial Pipe Fitter Course you become a real Pipe Fitter.
You will be able to read technical drawing and sketches, orient yourself in the project plan, carry out pipe assembly calculations, choose parts for plant construction, bench-assemble and in-plant assembly of piping lines with pipes, flanges, bends, fittings, valves, etc.
Objectives of the Industrial Pipefitter Course
The Tubist Course has both a theoretical part, but more importantly it is a very practical course.
It has a duration of 140 hours and takes place in 1 intense month in a metal workshop. You will be supervised by instructors and inspectors who are real tubists with many years of experience. At the end of the course we will issue you with Certificate - Industrial Tubist Certificate.
Course syllabus for Tubist:
Industrial Technical Drawing Reading
Exercises on Industrial Technical Drawing
Distinguishing the various welding processes and reading WPSs
Distinction of various materials of Fittings (pipes, flanges, valves, fittings, etc.).
Use of the tubemaker's equipment and tools for construction and assembly
Practical laboratory exercises: surveying, measuring, manual and bandsaw pipe cutting, plotting, making bevels
Using the welding machine and putting welding spots between pipes
Piping assembly and installation
Duties of the Industrial PipeFitter
A specialized PipeFitter Industrial Pipefitter, he is in charge
of all activities related to the construction, installation and repair of pipelines.
Studies and plans the project to be carried out, takes measurements in the field, conducts on-site surveys, selects and collects the necessary material following the project specifications, traces the pipes to be processed, makes bevels on the pipe, assembles pipes with other pipes, flanges, fittings, valves so as to construct pipeline lines, and assembles the prefabricated pipes in the plant.

Industrial Tubist
The Industrial Tubist is one of the most sought-after jobs in the world of work
There are few skilled Industrial Tubists, and they find work easily and quickly, because the tubist is widely used in various fields of application in engineering.
The pipe fitter or Pipefitter builds and assembles pipelines for petroleum refineries, power plants, food plants, pharmaceutical plants, builds pipelines for aqueducts, gas pipelines, oil pipelines, works for public and private utility companies, builds systems for hospitals, ships, construction, heating systems, ventilation, etc.
It is a very well-paid job, the salary varies depending on whether you are a construction pipefitter in the shop, or an assembly pipefitter in the yard-plant.
The pipe fitter normally works in tandem with the welder, another highly sought-after occupation in the job market, the pipe fitter pairs pipes or pieces of a pipe line and the welder welds them together.
There is a difference between an industrial plumber who builds, assembles, and installs industrial and plant piping and a civil plumber who instead works only in the civil construction field.
Our Industrial Tubist Course is the most comprehensive and practical in Italy.
Industrial Tubist Salary
The Tubist is a well-paid job, mainly because it is difficult for companies to find.
The tubist earns salary based on the skills he or she possesses, experience, length of work contracts, whether he or she is a Junior or experienced Tubist, whether he or she is a shop prefabrication tubist, or whether he or she is a site assembly tubist.
In general, the average tubist in Italy earns between:
- 1650€ net ( for a Junior Tubist )
- up to 3000€ net ( for a full Tubist with experience ).
