National Certificate in Glass Processing
Level / 3Credits / 104
Purpose
This qualification is for people working in the glass processing industry.
The compulsory section of the qualification covers the knowledge and skills relating to first aid, optimising cutting of glass, processing Insulating Glass Units (IGUs), working safely, cutting glass to regular shapes manually, cutting glass to irregular shapes manually, notching and cutting out glass manually, drilling and countersinking glass, edgeworking glass with edgeworking machines, edgeworking glass manually, processing toughened and heat strengthened glass, loading and unloading vehicles, and measuring and calculating.
The elective section enables candidates to select standards from the areas of engineering drawing and design; interpersonal communications; flat glass; general glass and glazing; and building, construction, and allied trades skills that complement their job roles.
This qualification builds on the National Certificate in Glass and Glazing (Introduction) (Level2) [Ref:0997] and can lead on to the National Certificate in Glazing (Level 4) [Ref:1104] or the National Certificate in Automotive Reglazing (Level3) [Ref:1249].
Replacement Information
This qualification and the National Certificate in Glazing (Level 4) [Ref: 1104] are part replacements for the National Certificate in Flat Glass with strands in Glazing, Decorative, Processing, and Automotive [Ref: 0304].
Special Notes
Prerequisite: The National Certificate in Glass and Glazing (Introduction) (Level 2) [Ref:0997], or demonstration of equivalent knowledge and skills.
People in the glass and glazing industry who have learned their craft over many years, but do not hold a qualification, may wish to have their existing skills recognised through the RCC (recognition of current competence) process. The RCC process is carried out by registered assessors and accredited providers. Candidates must go through an assessment process to gain credit for national standards. Candidates for RCC are encouraged to contact the Joinery Industry Training Organisation.
