Glaziers are usually educated at the senior high school diploma or equivalent level and learn the abilities of the trade via an apprenticeship program, which in the U.S. is typically four years.[3]
In the U.S., apprenticeship programs are offered through the National Glass Association as well as trade associations and local contractors' associations. Construction-industry glaziers are frequently users of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.[1]
In Ontario, Canada, apprenticeships can be found at the provincial level and certified through the Ontario University of Trades.[5]
Other provinces manage their own apprenticeship programs.
