Candidates may be required to show the skills and knowledge to assess products or work procedures and
identify possible improvements and may also be responsible for setting up glass processing machinery.

When undertaken as part of an apprenticeship, learners will also need to complete the Level 3 Certificate in Glass Related Operations 500/7769/7

This qualification is aimed at individuals wishing to gain in depth knowledge of the requirements of working safely and effectively in a glass related working environment. Establishing in depth underpinning knowledge and understanding relevant to the Glass Industry, this qualification is intended to be capable of delivery through both a taught programme of off-the-job learning or through workplace assessment (for those with access to the real workplace).

Along with a number of generic glass industry units the group of optional units ensures there is a specific unit to cover the individual occupational roles in the glass industry.
