Training & Certification
Our Programs
GlassRenu’s training and certification programs are designed to help professionals deliver consistent, repeatable glass restoration results — and give customers a clear way to understand a technician’s experience level. If you’re a technician, service company, or facility team looking to build real capability (not just “watch a video and hope”), you’re in the right place.
What Training Covers
GlassRenu training is hands-on, process-driven, and built around real-world scenarios — not just theory. Whether you’re a window cleaner, manufacturer, specialty technician, or managing large projects, training is designed to build repeatable outcomes and strong decision-making in the field.

Choose Your Training Format
In-House Training (Rancho Cordova, CA)
Format
You come to us in Rancho Cordova, CA (outside Sacramento) and train hands-on in our GlassRenu warehouse facility. This format is designed for focused learning in a controlled environment with direct coaching and repeatable setup standards.
Best for
- Individual technicians or small teams who want concentrated hands-on learning
- Companies launching glass restoration and building a repeatable process from day one
- Techs who want to sharpen results, reduce remakes, and improve finish consistency
What you’ll do (hands-on)
- Work through real restoration scenarios using the GlassRenu system
- Practice assessment → setup → execution → finish refinement
- Learn how to avoid common mistakes that create haze, distortion, or inconsistent clarity
- Review job documentation and expectation-setting that protects you on customer-facing work
What you get
- Core workflow training and best practices you can reproduce in the field
- Damage assessment guidance (restore vs replace, severity, feasibility)
- Process control standards (setup, thermal considerations, consistency)
- A clear path to certification tiers and optional endorsements
Scheduling
Schedule options vary. Contact us to confirm training availability, recommended attendee count, and timing.
Travel Training (We Come to You)
Format
We train your team at your facility so the process is taught on your equipment, your workflow, and your typical project conditions. Travel training is built for teams who want consistency across technicians and a repeatable standard that holds up in real jobs.
Best for
- Shops and service teams training multiple technicians
- Companies that want process standardization and quality control across crews
- Teams who want coaching applied to their real workflow and job conditions
What we cover on-site
- Assessment practices for your most common job types
- Workflow mapping: how your team moves from “job arrives” → “quoted” → “completed”
- Hands-on restoration training focused on your typical damage profiles
- Setup standards and quality checkpoints for consistent outcomes across techs
What you get
- Training aligned to your environment (not a generic classroom experience)
- A repeatable process your team can follow consistently
- Guidance on documentation, expectations, and quality-control standards
- Recommendations for next-step certifications and endorsements based on your work mix
Travel + billing
Travel and lodging are billed separately and confirmed in advance. We’ll provide clarity on logistics before scheduling is finalized.

Consulting
Sometimes the gap isn’t just technique — it’s execution in the real world: estimating, SOPs, quality control, team rollout, or managing a complex job. If you want a clearer plan, we offer consulting support for both business and project needs.
Business Consulting
What it is
Business consulting helps you build (or refine) a profitable, repeatable glass restoration offering — including how you package the service, estimate accurately, standardize quality, and scale across technicians.
Best for
- Companies adding glass restoration as a new service line
- Teams that have tools but want better consistency, pricing confidence, and fewer remakes
- Owners who want clearer SOPs, quality control, and a scalable rollout plan
Common outcomes
- Stronger quoting confidence and less scope creep
- Cleaner service packaging and “what we do / don’t do” clarity
- Better technician consistency (fewer redo jobs, better finishes)
- A rollout plan that actually works across multiple technicians
What you get
- Guidance on service packaging, positioning, and customer expectation-setting
- Estimating and quoting standards (how to reduce surprises and protect margin)
- SOP recommendations and quality checkpoints
- Team training and rollout recommendations tied to your technician mix and job types
How it works
We start with your goals and current workflow, then recommend next steps based on your services, typical projects, and team size.
Project Consulting
What it is
Project consulting supports large, complex, or high-visibility restoration work where planning, feasibility, and execution standards matter. If the risk is high, the timeline is tight, or the stakeholders are many, project consulting helps you execute with confidence.
Best for
- Large commercial restoration scopes
- Complex damage profiles where restore vs replace is not obvious
- Projects with high visibility, strict finish expectations, or difficult access constraints
- Teams needing scope alignment and documentation standards across stakeholders
Common outcomes
- Clearer feasibility guidance (restore vs replace)
- Better scope definition and fewer surprises mid-project
- Stronger documentation that keeps stakeholders aligned
- A plan for consistent execution across site conditions
What you get
- Feasibility review and process recommendations
- Scope alignment support (what’s included, what’s excluded, what “success” looks like)
- Documentation templates and quality checkpoints
- Coordination support as needed to keep execution consistent
How it works
Contact us with project details (location, damage type, visibility, access, timeline). We’ll recommend an approach and next steps.
Damage Assessment Training
Not everyone needs to perform restoration — but many teams need a reliable way to identify, document, and communicate what the damage is and what should happen next.
Certified Assessor
What it means: Trained to identify and document glass surface damage using GlassRenu’s damage assessment standards.
Best for: Property managers, GCs, facility teams, insurance/claims support, glass shops, and anyone who needs clear, consistent documentation before restoration work begins.
What to expect: A Certified Damage Assessor helps define what the damage is, how severe it is, and what the recommended next step should be—with clear documentation to reduce confusion between stakeholders.
Important note: Damage Assessment is not the same as technical certification. It does not imply the assessor performs restoration work.
Technical Endorsements
Endorsements are specialty badges for technicians who have demonstrated capability in specific restoration work types.
