MyGlassClass.com Expands Catalog with Bluebeam Training

This year’s Building Envelope Contractors (BEC) Conference closed with a session by Troy DeGroot, director of Bluebeam Professional Services at UChapter2, “The Other 85%—What You’re Not Getting Out of Bluebeam.” Emphasizing that many users of the software are self-taught, his session guided attendees through maximizing the platform’s capabilities for essential functions, such as design review, detailing and sketching, in addition to many others.

Now, the National Glass Association has partnered with DeGroot to make his Bluebeam training courses available on the association’s online training platform, MyGlassClass.com.

Developed by DeGroot, the courses provide time-saving tips and tricks to help elevate the design review process, detailing/sketching, document management, quantity takeoffs, estimates and more. The courses are offered at a 30% discount to NGA members.

“The feedback to Troy’s Bluebeam presentation at the 2025 BEC Conference was extremely positive, and I am thrilled that we are able to bring his expertise to an even wider audience via MyGlassClass.com,” says Jenni Chase, NGA’s vice president of workforce development.  
“I’ve worked hand in hand with companies building custom tools and training specific to their needs, helping them get the most out of their Bluebeam software investment,” says DeGroot.

“As we introduce these digital courses on MyGlassClass.com, all [users] have the support they need in an online environment—direct access to a catalog of help resources and a professional online learning community to work together and brainstorm solutions.”
