Current Certified Professionals

The updated and re-designed FenestrationMasters® recertification 2.0 course is now available for purchase, featuring more interactive and engaging content. The revised coursework includes updated content reflecting current technical documents and standards as well as code requirements in a re-designed, more interactive platform. The modules incorporate new information from any documents that have been updated and/or published since the FM 2.0 program release, such as the latest version of the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS-22) and AAMA PSSG-20, Selection and Application Guide for Plastic Glazed Skylights and Sloped Glazing, an FGIA document.

All 2.0 recertification course modules will apply to both the FenestrationAssociate® and FenestrationMaster® level content.

The FenestrationAssociate and FenestrationMaster professional certification credentials are valid for four years, and the certification can be renewed for an additional four-year period by completing the following requirements. A comprehensive explanation of the necessary steps for recertification can be found in the Recertification Guide.

  • Purchase recertification bundle
  • Complete coursework and related post-assessments (quizzes)
  • For FenestrationMaster certified professionals, complete industry engagement credits
  • Submit recertification application

Recertification Bundles

Candidates may purchase the relevant recertification bundle, which includes required coursework and application processing. Certified professionals can only purchase the recertification bundle for their current credential: FenestrationAssociate certified professionals must order the FenestrationAssociate recertification bundle, and FenestrationMaster certified professionals must order the FenestrationMaster recertification bundle.

Recertification Coursework

The full course runtime is three-four hours for both the FenestrationAssociate and FenestrationMaster recertification courses. The Initial launch in December 2023 will include Group 1 content, with all content expected to be available by second quarter of 2024.

In all cases, FGIA staff will offer complimentary renewal extensions, if needed, to support the time needed for the 2.0 recertification modules to be rolled out and completed. Contact education@fgiaonline.org to confirm what that means for your credential expiration date and renewal timeframe.

Once all contend groups are available, coursework must be completed in the prescribed order within one year from purchase and prior to the expiration of the current certification.

Industry Engagement Credits – FenestrationMaster Certified Professionals Only

FenestrationMaster certified professionals must additionally complete 25 credits of industry engagement requirements during the recertification cycle. The industry engagement requirement is intended to reflect industry activities in which the certified professional participated. Certified professionals may track elective requirement fulfillments in the Industry Engagement Credit Tracking Matrix.
