Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
The Auto Glass Safety Council offers a voluntary certification program for auto glass installation and repair technicians. The American Architectural Manufacturers Association offers the InstallationMasters Training and Certification Program, which is geared toward installers of windows and patio doors in the residential and light commercial markets. Contact these organizations to learn more.
Approximately 30 states license glazier contractors who work on residential properties. Licensing requires a combination of education, experience, and the completion of an apprenticeship (in some states).
