Practical and written testing for the Architectural Glass and Metal Technician Certification Program resumed, after it was disrupted this past year due to the pandemic, announced company officials.
AGMT is a personnel certification program that features an independent, third-party assessment of a glazier’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. The ANSI accredited program began in February 2019. The testing to become certified includes a rigorous knowledge- and performance-based exam that concentrates on characteristics that are designed to reduce defects and failures, and better provide the end product that stakeholders deserve.
In order to achieve certification, glazier candidates must undergo a two-hour, 125-question written exam and a 6.25 hour, hands-on, performance-based exam utilizing storefront, curtain wall, and sealant application test rigs.
