What the Montana data shows for Glaziers

Montana's path to glazier licensure runs through board-approved instruction and a passing score on a state-approved exam. Montana folds the credential into its broader occupational licensing statute, which classifies the training track as "Experience/Apprenticeship".

Budget $150 to get started on a 2-year cycle. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Montana, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

Montana handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
