Window Tint Training
Hands On Window Tint Training from the Industry's Best
Add Window Tint to Your Business
Window tint is one of the highest demand, most profitable add on services in the automotive protection industry. It pairs naturally with paint protection film and ceramic coatings, giving installers an easy way to increase revenue per vehicle without adding a whole new client base.
If you already have customers walking through your door for PPF or ceramic work, window tint is the service that turns one job into three. For PPF and ceramic coating installers, tint is a natural upsell that fits the same customer conversation and the same appointment. Instead of referring tint work to another shop, you keep the revenue, the relationship, and the finished vehicle under one roof.
From Fundamentals to Professional Installation
Hands On Training for Every Skill Level
This 3 day, hands on training course is designed to take you from beginner to confident installer. You'll learn both the fundamentals and advanced techniques used by professional tinters, while getting extensive real world practice.

You will work directly with Opticle window film on real vehicles throughout the three days, so every technique you learn is one you can put into practice the moment you get back to your shop.
