CWRCA President Jacob Taylor says he and his fellow members get asked a lot on how to formally pursue this type of career, and so he realized that there is a need to educate the public on the ins and outs of this career path.
“A lot of people are interested to take this path but they do not know where to start. Through these educational web guide, we can now tell them about step-by-step ways on how they could be like us – certified technicians turned business owners,” Taylor adds. National Glass Association
The website Study.com shared the procedure on how to become a certified auto glass technician. In their web post they also posted the prospects of being one in the current time.
“Many technical schools and community colleges offer 1-year certificate or 2-year associate’s degree programs in collision repair. These programs generally focus on repair of the entire automobile after a car wreck or other incident. Courses may include minor collision repair, auto body structural repair, metal insert glass (MIG) welding, refinishing, electrical applications and technical math.”
