It covers a range of system types and installation environments, with all work carried out in line with health and safety requirements. You need to be working in the industry to enrol. The course typically takes 12 months to complete.

Who this course is for

The aim of this qualification is to confirm that the candidate has the skills and knowledge to install Curtain Wall systems on site. It is not expected that all curtain wall installers will carry out identical tasks as there are many variations in system types and installation environments so the qualification had been developed to allow as wide an uptake as possible. All of the work needs to be completed in accordance with relevant legislation, regulations and health and safety guidelines.

Entry requirements

Must be working in the industry

What you will learn

  • You'll install curtain wall systems on site to industry standards.
  • You'll work across different curtain wall system types and configurations.
  • You'll apply relevant legislation and regulations to your installation work.
  • You'll follow health and safety guidelines throughout every stage of installation.
  • You'll adapt your practice to different installation environments and site conditions.

How you will learn

This is a blended NVQ curtain walling qualification. You'll complete online study in your own time and attend the centre for practical assessment. Evidence of your on-site work forms a portfolio, which an assessor will review. Assessment is competence-based, meaning you demonstrate skills through real work rather than written exams.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. GFTS Durham will confirm anything else you need before you start.
