National Center for Construction Education & Research
A glazier installs and fabricates glass and framing systems in commercial buildings like high-rise hotels, education and hospital facilities, and low-rise shopping centers. Glaziers also work in residential settings, where they install, fabricate and sometimes repair shower enclosures, tabletops, mirrors and other glass products.
The NCCER-endorsed National Glass Association’s Glazier Apprentice Curriculum covers a range of topics, from types of glass, to safe glass handling, to installation best practices, and everything in between. Students who complete the NGA curriculum will earn a jointly endorsed NGA/NCCER credential.
Six hard-copy, exceptionally produced training manuals from the National Glass Association are included for each apprentice enrolled into the NGA Glazier Apprentice Curriculum. Manuals include: Employee Safety Guide, the GANA Glazing Manual, the Guide to Architectural Glass, the GANA Sealant Manual, the Glass & Glazing Estimating Essentials Manual, and the Guide to the Glass & Glazing Requirements of the Model Building Codes.
The NGA Glazier Apprentice Curriculum is offered online via MyGlassClass.com.
