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.
