UPVC Door & Window Making and Glazier Technology Apprenticeship Course Syllabus

Course Title

UPVC Door & Window Making and Glazier Technology Apprenticeship Course

Course Code

UPVC101

Description

This course, under the Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS), provides comprehensive training for UPVC door and window making and glazier technology, focusing on fabricating, assembling, and installing UPVC profiles, as well as glazing techniques for energy-efficient and aesthetically appealing fenestration systems. Apprentices will gain hands-on experience in using UPVC fabrication tools, cutting and assembling profiles, and installing double/triple-glazed glass, preparing them for roles in construction, real estate, and fenestration industries. The course aligns with the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) and complies with the Apprentices Act, 1961.

Objectives

  • Fabricate and assemble UPVC doors and windows using precision tools and techniques.
  • Install double and triple-glazed glass panels to enhance energy efficiency and soundproofing.
  • Interpret technical drawings and measurements for accurate UPVC profile cutting and assembly.
  • Adhere to safety standards and BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) regulations in UPVC fabrication and glazing.

Schedule

The course spans 8 weeks, combining basic training and on-the-job practical training as per ATS guidelines. Each week focuses on specific skills essential for UPVC door/window making and glazier technology. Below is the detailed breakdown:

Week 1: Introduction to UPVC and Glazing

Overview of UPVC as a material, its advantages (durability, low maintenance, eco-friendliness), glazier roles, and workplace safety under ATS. Introduction to fenestration systems.

Week 2: UPVC Profile Preparation

Learning to select and prepare UPVC profiles (e.g., casement, sliding, tilt-and-turn) using cutting, milling, and drilling tools. Understanding profile reinforcement with galvanized steel.

Week 3: Fabrication and Assembly

Fabricating UPVC frames and sashes through heat fusion, assembling hardware (hinges, locks, rollers), and ensuring structural integrity.

Week 4: Glazing Techniques

Installing double and triple-glazed glass panels, using sealants, spacers, and glazing beads for thermal and acoustic insulation.

Week 5: Installation of UPVC Doors and Windows

Measuring and installing UPVC doors and windows on-site, ensuring proper alignment, weatherproofing, and compliance with building standards.

Week 6: Customization and Finishing

Applying custom finishes (e.g., woodgrain, colored laminates), installing accessories (e.g., mesh, grills), and performing quality checks.

Week 7: Safety, Compliance, and Quality Control

Implementing safety protocols, adhering to BIS and IGU (Insulated Glass Unit) standards, and conducting tests for air, water, and wind resistance.

Week 8: Final Project and Assessment

Completion of a comprehensive project (e.g., fabricating and installing a UPVC window with double glazing) and preparation for the All India Trade Test (AITT) under NCVT.

Assessment Methods

Apprentice performance is evaluated through a combination of practical, theoretical, and participatory components, preparing them for the National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC):

  • Weekly Assignments: 40%
  • Midterm Project: 20%
  • Final Project: 30%
  • Participation and Attendance: 10%

Additional Notes

Apprentices must be at least 14 years old and meet the minimum educational qualification (typically 10th grade passed or equivalent, preferably with a technical or mathematics background, as per trade requirements). The course includes basic training (20-25% of the program) and on-the-job training, with a stipend provided as per NAPS guidelines (e.g., Rs. 7700 per month for one-year ITI trade passed apprentices, as per Gazette notification dated 25th September 2019). Successful completion leads to the National Apprenticeship Certificate (NAC) upon passing the All India Trade Test (AITT), recognized for employment in government and private sectors. The training emphasizes precision, energy efficiency, and compliance with Indian standards, addressing the demand for skilled UPVC fabricators and glaziers in India’s booming construction and real estate sectors, with the UPVC market growing due to its eco-friendly and durable properties.
