Fenestration, Glass and Glazing qualifications

The Glass and Fenestration Industries are among the oldest in the world, steeped in history and dating back 1,000s of years.

Glass surrounds us – in buildings as part of the vast range of Fenestration products manufactured throughout the world to suite with modern architectural design, and of course in domestic applications too. The glass industry is not only integral to the Fenestration industry, but covers the manufacture of flat glass, container glass, domestic glass, decorative glass, automotive and specialist areas such as Fire-resistant Glazing.

GQA Qualifications has over 20 industry relevant qualifications in these sectors underpinning its journey to achieve Quality through Qualifications.
