The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) is now offering two topics from the upcoming third edition of its flagship education program FenestrationMasters for individual purchase. Two à la carte modules cover the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS), including the NAFS Canadian Supplement, and Fundamentals of Insulating Glass. Both options are available in advance of the full version of FenestrationMasters 3.0, which will be released later this year.
The Specifying Windows, Doors and Skylights Using NAFS module contains an hour and 15 minutes of content and is designed for participants with an understanding of the requirements governing fully fabricated fenestration products. Individuals will dive into the mandatory performance requirements of each performance class, as outlined by NAFS-22 and its predecessors.
The Fundamentals of Insulating Glass class contains 2-1/2 hours of content and includes both the “Glass Fundamentals” and the “Understanding Insulating Glass Systems” modules. It replaces the existing FGIA Preventing IG Failures program, which has been sunset.
The FenestrationMasters Program offers professional certification and education for the fenestration industry, including performance standards, products and materials, test methods and code requirements. The third edition of this program will include new coverage of the NAFS Canadian Supplement, Canadian codes and energy and insulating glass.
“With the significance of the NAFS standard and the importance of IG performance to our organization, it was imperative that we offer these two modules à la carte making them readily accessible to anyone in the industry, even if they’re not pursuing a full professional certification credential,” said Kaydeen Laird, FGIA education manager.
