Glazing - Another specialist part of the Glass industry that has seen
rapid developments in technology and an ever increasing need to comply with
legislation and guidance on a wide range of issues including Health and Safety
related matters.
Glass now comes in a wide range of types and finishes and
the equipment and materials used to prepare and install them has changed
dramatically in many cases while some of the techniques and tools remain
basically unchanged. There is a greater need than ever before to keep skills
and knowledge up to date and this need is met by completing one of the latest
generation of Glazing qualifications.
These are available at Level 2 and Level 3; these have been
developed as all GQA qualifications are; working with the Industry to make sure
they are relevant, fit for purpose and suitable for as much of the industry as
possible and not written just to suit the needs and procedures of large
organisations.
The Level 2 qualification is suited to those carrying out
general glazing tasks, the Level 3 is more suited to those with experience of,
and responsibility for, leading a team of Glaziers and or carrying out
specialist glazing work. There are also separate qualifications at Level 2 and
Level 3 for those involved with Fire Resistant Glazing.
GQA Glazing
qualifications are recognised by the Construction Skills Certification Scheme
and allow achievers to apply for the relevant CSCS Card.
