About AGU Online Learning
Our Mission Statement
The purpose of Auto Glass University is to provide unbiased, up-to-date information and training to the auto glass industry in an affordable and self directed context. Courses will consist of modules that are comprehensive, concise, and pertinent to the duties of the auto glass professional; focusing on technical training, management, customer service and safety.
Our goal is to be a complete online university for auto glass entrepreneurs and their employees, offering different schools of training for all aspects of the business. We will start with technical installation training and add new class sections as time goes on. This site will be constantly updated to have the latest in information. Each individual who takes our online course will have access to the latest information, plus diagrams, slides and links to additional websites for further research, if desired.
How It Works
Each class is a stand-alone subject of study with a final test, although some prerequisites do apply. The Auto Glass module must be completed as a prerequisite to the Adhesive Bonding module and Adhesive Bonding must be completed before taking either the Stationary or Movable Installation courses. A certificate of completion will be awarded after successfully passing the test at the end of each module. If you have enrolled in the entire Auto Glass Technician (AGT) course, a diploma will be awarded at the successful completion of the program.
The Classes
The complete course for the Auto Glass Technician in the Technical School consists of 10 modules. They include:
- Wind Shield
- Technician Responsibility
- Safety First
- Implements of Labor
- Auto Glass
- Picking and Pricing
- Adhesive Bonding
- Parts and Supplies
- Installation Stationary
- Installation Moveable
- Troubleshooting
- Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS)
Credit & Electives
There will be opportunities to receive credit for real life study upon proof of completion. For example, credit will be given to those who have completed a sanctioned First Aid Course. Once credit is given, the corresponding course, in this case Safety First will not be required to be completed through AGU.
There will be electives made available as well, including:
- Windshield Repair
- Trade Math
- Pattern Making
- and Auto Glass Fabrication
Auto Glass University is under construction but will eventually have four schools of study:
- The Technical School
- School of Customer Representation
- School of Sale and Marketing
- Management School.
Within each discipline, you will have the opportunity to earn advanced degrees that will require additional courses. The entire curriculum represents a well-rounded education in auto glass shop installation, operation, and management.
