AGMCC / Prometric

The Architectural Glass and Metal Technician (AGMT) is the only North American certification for experienced architectural glaziers, administered by the Architectural Glass and Metal Certification Council (AGMCC) with the National Glass Association. It is a two-part assessment: a written Knowledge-Based Test (KBT) of 125 multiple-choice questions over a 2-hour limit, delivered at 300+ Prometric test centers, plus a hands-on Performance-Based Test (PBT) covering curtainwall, storefront, and sealing. Candidates must document at least 7,500 hours of glazing experience within five years and hold OSHA-10 (or the Canadian equivalent). The KBT spans seven categories: glazing theory and safety, tools and equipment, construction documents and layout, glass and panels, systems (storefront, curtainwall, entrances), sealants and gaskets, and quality controls and failure prevention. Total program cost is about $1,400, and certification is valid four years. This free prep includes 100 research-based practice questions with explanations and an AI tutor.

Sample AGMT Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your AGMT exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1On the AGMT Knowledge-Based Test, each multiple-choice question presents how many possible answer options?

A.2

B.3

C.4

D.5

Explanation: The AGMT KBT consists of 125 multiple-choice questions, and each question has exactly 4 possible answers from which the candidate selects the single correct response. The test allows a 2-hour time limit.

2What minimum personal protective equipment should a glazier always wear when moving or handling flat glass?

A.A hard hat only

B.Safety glasses with side shields and cut-resistant gloves

C.A respirator and ear plugs

D.A full-body harness only

Explanation: Glass edges and corners can cause severe lacerations and spontaneous breakage. AGMT safe-handling practice requires safety glasses with side shields plus gloves whenever moving or handling glass to protect the eyes and hands.

3When carrying a large lite of glass by hand, the recommended practice is to:

A.Carry it over your head to clear obstacles

B.Carry it under your arm

C.Carry only one piece at a time, held firmly, away from the head and arms

D.Stack several lites and carry them together to save trips

Explanation: AGMT safe-handling guidance says to carry only one piece of glass at a time, hold it firmly in your hands, and never carry it over your head or under your arms, where breakage could cause life-threatening cuts to the neck, torso, or arteries.

4When glass must be set down temporarily, it should be placed:

A.Flat on its face on a hard floor

B.Gently down on its long edge, on a cushioned or padded surface

C.On its corner to keep it out of the way

D.Leaning at a steep angle against an unpadded steel column

Explanation: Glass should be gently set down on its long edge and never placed directly on a hard surface; padding or another cushioning agent protects the edges. Edges and corners are the most fragile points and a chip there can propagate into spontaneous breakage.

5Before becoming eligible to sit the AGMT certification, a candidate must document a minimum of how many hours of glazing-related work experience (within five years)?

A.2,000 hours

B.4,000 hours

C.7,500 hours

D.10,000 hours

Explanation: AGMT is a certification for experienced glaziers, not a training program. Candidates must demonstrate at least 7,500 hours of glazing-related work experience within five years and hold OSHA-10 (or the Canadian equivalent).

6In glazing layout, the term "plumb" describes an object that is true to:

A.A horizontal plane

B.A vertical plane

C.A 45-degree diagonal

D.The slope of the finished floor

Explanation: Plumb means true to a vertical plane. A correctly plumbed member, such as a mullion or column, transfers loads directly to the ground. Level, by contrast, means true to a horizontal plane.

7Two members are "square" to each other when a plumbed object intersects a level object and they form:

A.A 45-degree angle

B.A 60-degree angle

C.A 90-degree angle

D.A 180-degree angle

Explanation: Square is defined as the condition where a plumbed (vertical) object intersects a level (horizontal) object to create a 90-degree angle. Plumb, level, and square together govern accurate framing layout.

8To check whether a bubble (spirit) level is reading accurately, a glazier should take a reading and then:

A.Turn the level 45 degrees and compare the two readings

B.Turn the level 90 degrees and compare the two readings

C.Turn the level end-for-end 180 degrees in the same position and compare the two readings

D.Tap the vial until the bubble centers

Explanation: To verify a level, take a reading, then rotate it 180 degrees end-for-end in the same spot and read again. If the bubble shows the same position both ways, the level is accurate; a difference indicates the vial is out of calibration.

9Which type of architectural drawing shows the exterior face of a building as a person would normally view it from outside?

A.Elevation

B.Plan

C.Section

D.Detail

Explanation: An elevation is a straight-on view of a building face, showing it as typically seen by a person standing in front of it. A plan is a top-down view, a section is a cut through the assembly, and a detail is an enlarged close-up of a specific condition.

10Which document generally has the FINAL say concerning the required performance characteristics of glass for a particular opening?

A.Architectural drawings

B.Shop drawings

C.Specifications

D.The manufacturer's brochure

Explanation: The project specifications govern the required performance characteristics (such as glass type, thickness, U-factor, and safety rating) of the glass for an opening. When documents conflict, the specifications typically take precedence over drawings for performance requirements.

AGMT Study Tips from Top Performers

1Weight your study toward Systems (storefront, window wall, curtainwall, and aluminum entrances) and Glass & Panels, which together are the largest share of the KBT

2Memorize the five-step sealant sequence Clean-Prime-Pack-Shoot-Tool, and know what backer rod does and why three-sided adhesion is bad

3Learn setting-block rules: 85 plus or minus 5 Shore A durometer, quarter-point placement, and length about 0.1 inch per square foot (not less than 4 inches)

4Know IGU surface numbering (1-4), that the spacer bonds to surfaces 2 and 3, and that low-E coating placement controls U-factor and solar heat gain

5Distinguish stick vs unitized curtainwall and pressure-bar vs structural silicone glazing, and remember weep holes drain infiltrated water back outside

6Practice glazing math with scratch paper: perimeters, daylight openings, and imperial/metric conversions, then review every miss with the AI tutor
