Our four-year glazing apprenticeship program is designed for students to work through the same challenges they will encounter as ticketed journeypersons. Completion of the program earns apprentices a Red Seal certification and a Certificate of Apprenticeship. Each level is six weeks long.
Program Outline:
Level 1
Safety is key to any successful jobsite, and first-level apprentices at the FTI learn how to control workplace hazards to keep a jobsite safe. They are also introduced to glazing tools, glass cutting, edge treatment, caulking, sealants, fabrication and commercial systems.
Level 2
As second-level apprentices, students build on the fundamental glazing skills they learned in first year.
They add more depth to their knowledge of reading blue prints, and fabricating and installing commercial systems. Apprentices also learn how to install residential systems, such as windows, skylights, mirrors, and shower and tub enclosures.
Level 3
In the final level, glazing apprentices learn how to use more specialized glazing tools, and how to work with codes, standards and other regulations.
They also practice fabricating and installing commercial storefront and curtainwall systems, as well as fabricating and installing specialty glass and products.
Program Fees
Program fees include Apprentice books and manuals.
- Level 1 - $800
- Level 2 - $800
