NGA offers certification in three important areas of glass: Auto Glass Replacement, Auto Glass Repair, and Commercial (or flat) Glass Installation. NGA certification is the gold standard in the industry and a notable boost for any glass business’ professionalism and credibility.
NGA Certification can lead to better visibility, opportunities, and jobs. In today's increasingly complex and highly-specialized economy, credentials are everything. Sure, you know you've got the skills to do the job, but how do you convince potential customers and employers? NGA Certification communicates to your customers that you and your technicians are educated to the highest industry standards and practices and that you are committed to implementing these practices in your businesses.
NGA Certification also allows you to use the NGA logo in your web and print marketing, display your credentials in your shop and on your mobile vehicle, and for auto glass professionals gives additional status within the Lynx Services platform. Your company is also listed on the NGA website as featuring NGA Certified technicians. This resource is heavily used by consumers.
Any technician working on auto glass replacement, auto glass repair, or commercial glass installation should be certified. Other candidates for NGA Certification include collision repair technicians and vehicle service dealers.
Candidates are eligible to become NGA Certified when they have completed at least 6 months’ tenure in the industry. Auto glass technicians seeking Master-level certification should be employed at least 3 years and have current NGA certification.
There are two ways to become NGA Certified.
The first method is to take and pass an NGA Certification exam. Note that this method is mandatory for anyone becoming certified for the first time.
