New Edition Covers NAFS Canadian Supplement, Canadian Codes and Energy, Insulating Glass

The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) has released the third edition of FenestrationMasters®, FGIA’s flagship education program. FenestrationMasters offers professional certification and education that covers the full breadth of the fenestration industry, including performance standards, products and materials, test methods and code requirements. With updated visuals and interactive elements, the third edition now includes new coverage of the NAFS Canadian Supplement, Canadian codes and energy, and insulating glass. Two a la carte courses are also available, which cover NAFS and the basics of insulating glass.

“Whether you are currently budgeting for future professional development plans or still have training dollars to allocate, FenestrationMasters is the best way to train your employees on technical information that aligns with the latest standards and codes, offering you the most current industry information,” said Kaydeen Laird, FGIA Education Manager. “Join the nearly 500 certified individuals who have received this credential now.”
