Program details
Overview
NAIT's Glazier programme is an apprenticeship leading to a Journeyperson Certificate. Glaziers cut, fit, install and replace glass and the aluminum frames that hold it, working across residential, commercial and industrial settings, from high-rise buildings to storefronts and auto body shops. The apprenticeship combines paid, on-the-job training with a sponsoring employer and blocks of in-class technical instruction at NAIT, in facilities designed to recreate real-world working conditions. Training covers glass cutting, fitting, installation and replacement techniques, as well as work with aluminum glazing systems used in residential and commercial construction. Admission, sponsorship and technical-training scheduling for the Glazier apprenticeship are administered through Alberta's apprenticeship and industry training system rather than a standard academic application process.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: To register as an apprentice in Alberta for this trade, applicants must be a resident of Alberta or primarily working in Alberta within the scope of the apprenticeship, and must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident of Canada, Convention refugee or protected person, a refugee claimant holding a work permit, a Post-Graduation Work Permit holder, or a Ukrainian citizen living as a temporary resident who meets Apprenticeship and Industry Training conditions. Entrance requirements are specific to the trade, typically based on required high school courses, with alternative options available if these have not been met. Applicants must also secure a sponsor — a business or organization providing paid on-the-job mentorship — before starting on-the-job training, though registration and classroom instruction may proceed before a sponsor is found.
