Bending and Welding

Programme description

Brazing and bending copper pipe is a core skill for professionals in plumbing, heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC), and for technicians in related fields. Copper pipe is widely used in water and heating systems because it is durable, resists corrosion and is flexible.

This training gives participants the practical skills to work with copper pipe efficiently and safely.

Programme objective

Participants learn to braze and bend copper tubing accurately, using the right techniques and safety measures, so that their pipe installations are of high quality and built to last.

Programme structure

The programme lasts 4 to 6 weeks and is mostly hands-on. The length can be adjusted to participants' prior knowledge and the scope of the content.
