Glazier Program Outline Industry Training Authority
FOREWORD
The revised Glazier Program Outline is intended as a guide for instructors, apprentices, and employers of
apprentices, as well as for the use of industry organizations, regulatory bodies, and provincial and federal
governments. It reflects updated standards based on the new Glazier Occupational Analysis (2008) and
input from the British Columbia industry and instructor subject matter experts.
Practical instruction by demonstration and student participation should be integrated with classroom
sessions. Safe working practices, even though not always specified in each operation or topic, are an
implied part of the program and should be stressed throughout the apprenticeship.
The Program Outline was prepared with the advice and assistance of the Glazier Governance
Committee. It will form the basis for further updating of the British Columbia Glazier Program and other
trade-related learning resources.
Practical Exercises are included for those competencies that require a practical component. The intent of
including Practical Exercises is to ensure consistency in training across the many training institutions in
British Columbia. Their purpose is to reinforce the theory and to provide a mechanism for evaluation of
the learners ability to apply the theory to practice. It is important that these performances be observable
and measureable and that they reflect the skills outlined in the competency as those required of a
competent journeyperson. The conditions under which these performances will be observed and
measured and the criteria by which the learner will be evaluated must be clear to the learner. The learner
must also be given the level of expectation of success.
The performance described in each Practical Exercise is a suggested performance and is not meant to
stifle flexibility of delivery. Training providers are welcome to substitute other practical performances that
measure similar skills and attainment of the competency. Multiple performances may also be used to
replace individual performances where appropriate.
SAFETY ADVISORY
Be advised that references to the WorkSafe BC safety regulations contained within these materials
do not/may not reflect the most recent Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (the current
Standards and Regulation in BC can be obtained on the following website:
http://www.worksafebc.com. Please note that it is always the responsibility of any person using these
materials to inform him/herself about the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation pertaining to
his/her work.
