Credits
112
Purpose
This qualification is intended for experienced people working in the decorative glass and
leadlighting sectors.
The core compulsory section of the qualification covers the knowledge and skills related to
investigating and applying design principles and elements; first aid; working safely; using
safe work practices to handle, store, and move glass manually; cutting glass to irregular
shapes manually on-site; providing customer service; glass properties; pricing materials for
simple glazing work; implications of legislation and standards applicable to the glass
industry; using and maintaining portable power tools; and creating sketches and drawings.
The strands of the qualification enable candidates to select standards that complement
their specific job roles. The decorative glass strand covers the knowledge and skills
related to etching, sand blasting, cutting glass to regular shapes manually on-site, staining
glass, fusing glass, slumping glass, casting glass, glass types and their application, and
glass ordering requirements. The leadlighting strand covers the knowledge and skills
related to deglazing and reglazing leadlights, requirements for working with leadlights,
making leadlights, and repairing leadlights.
This qualification is a standalone qualification but can lead on from the National Certificate
in Glass and Glazing (Introduction) (Level 2) [Ref: 0997].
