Technical standards can be detailed, so candidates should practice navigating the reference during study.

Open Book Test

The Florida Glass and Glazing Contractor trade exam is an open book test. Open book testing allows candidates to bring approved references into the exam room, but it does not make the exam simple. Candidates must understand the purpose of each reference and know how to locate information efficiently.

A safety question may require Code of Federal Regulations - 29 CFR Part 1926 (OSHA). An energy-related question may require Energy Efficient Building Construction in Florida, 2024. A building code question may require Florida Building Code - Building, 2023. An accessibility question may require Florida Building Code - Accessibility, 2023. A glazing practice question may require the GANA Glazing Manual. A glass load resistance question may require ASTM E1300-24.

Open book preparation should include more than reading. Candidates should review tables of contents, indexes, chapter organization, definitions, code sections, diagrams, tables, and technical provisions. The more familiar the books become, the easier it is to choose the right reference and locate information during timed practice.

Students should study with the books open. When reviewing a topic, candidates should identify the reference connected to that subject, locate the relevant section, and practice finding answers directly in the book. This habit helps build the reference navigation skills needed for an open book contractor exam.

Candidates should follow current testing center instructions for approved references, book editions, book condition, binding, highlighting, tabs, labels, notes, and materials allowed in the exam room. Preparing the books properly before exam day can reduce stress and help candidates focus on the exam itself.

Licensing Steps

Florida Glass and Glazing Contractor candidates must complete the required examination process and satisfy state licensing requirements before a license can be issued. The trade exam is an important part of that process, but it is only one part of the overall licensing path.

The general path begins with confirming the correct license classification and reviewing the exam requirements. Candidates then prepare with the required references, apply for exam approval, schedule testing after approval, and complete the required exams.
