Finishing Trades Institute of Ontario

Training Centre

AGMCA has had a long-standing interest in Trades Training. The Association was the main catalyst of Ontario’s Glazing & Metal Mechanic Apprenticeship Program which began in the early 70s. AGMCA believes that Apprenticeship and Journeyperson training is a key to the ongoing development and maintenance of a healthy Industry.

AGMCA plays a major role and participates with Government and Labour in overseeing and monitoring Provincial training initiatives, to ensure the system is not compromised.

Architectural Glass & Metal Technician is a Red Seal Trade, giving it National recognition. Our Apprenticeship Program was developed to provide trades people with theoretical and hands-on knowledge of innovative techniques and procedures associated with the assembly and installation of glazing systems. The curriculum centres around an 8,000 hour program which includes three (3) – eight (8) week In-School sessions (Basic, Intermediate & Advanced).

In Ontario, Trades Training is financially supported by Employers and various levels of Government. The in-school portion of our apprenticeship training features hands-on instruction using the latest equipment including spider cranes, glass manipulators, and swing stages. The Architectural Glass & Metal Technician Training Programs are offered at the Finishing Trades Institute in Toronto and satellite Training Centres in Nepean/Ottawa and Ancaster/Hamilton areas.
