This covers the handling of products throughout the process. Units in this qualification cover cutting, shaping, assembling, and finishing the products, including decoration.

The standard covers the most important aspects of the job. This qualification is at SCQF Level 6, and should be taken by those who are experienced glass processors. Candidates will often take a technical supervisory role, particularly in relation to less experienced workers. A further qualification for Glass Processing at SCQF Level 5 is also available.
