Audio narration along with the animated graphics throughout the programme brings to life the task of creating accurate pre-determined bends in copper pipe. This not only makes the subject easier to understand but also ensures it relates to the “real world”. A structured procedure has an added advantage that when the time comes to create the bends in real copper pipe, the learner has already had insight into the process, saving on workshop resource and reducing the possibility of wasted test pieces.

At the end your score is produced and you have the option to print your results. Finally a scenario will give you the chance to place pipe bending images in the right boxes which then allows a real world video to run showing the correct and safe way to bend copper pipe.
