Self-Study Program
This program is designed for individuals who qualify to bypass the training by meeting specific criteria listed in the handbook. The self-study program includes a 260 page training manual, a 21 segment video and a test voucher. After taking all the time necessary to become completely familiar with the training materials, self-study certification candidates will contact an individual qualified to protect tests to schedule a date and time to take the test. Individuals qualified to proctor tests can generally be located at local libraries, learning centers or community colleges. Certification candidates are warned that the self-study course requires significant personal commitment to successfully attain the knowledge necessary to pass the final test. Contact us for more information on the self-study program.Online Self-Study Program
The National Glass Association (NGA) offers an online self-study program for the InstallationMasters™ Program. Once a participant completes all of the segments of the program on the NGA website, we will contact that participant to verify their one year of experience and arrange for them to take the exam with a proctor.Installer Program Materials
