What You'll Learn Over Two Days

This isn't two days of watching someone else tint. Most of the course is practice: cutting, shrinking, installing, removing and finishing film with an instructor beside you.

Day 1: Fundamentals and Side Windows

• Tint theory and film fundamentals
• Professional tools and glass preparation
• Working with customers and installation drills
• Roll-down windows (framed and 2-stage), quarter windows and frameless windows
• Tint removal
• Sun strips and banners
• Marketing and business fundamentals

Day 2: Rear Windows and Complete Vehicles

• Review and extra practice on roll-down and quarter windows
• Heat shrinking
• Hatchback and sedan rear windows
• Rear-window tint removal
• Trucks and SUVs
• Plotter overview
• Professional finishing and troubleshooting
• Pricing, marketing and booking customers

What's Included in Tuition

• Professional Tint Tool Kit (yours to keep)
• 100 ft. roll of ceramic automotive window film (yours to keep)
• Tint Academy Certification
• Online Window Tint Training Course
• Business, pricing and marketing training
• Supplier access, lifetime mentor support and the student community
• Opportunities to observe or re-attend for extra practice

How Much Does Window Tint School Cost in New York?

• Regular tuition: $1,299 USD
• Limited Early-Bird full pay: $996 (save $303). Contact the team before checking out to claim it.
• Deposit option: $350 today to hold your seat, $1,099 total, with $749 due at class

Does the Course Pay for Itself?

If you charge a conservative $300 for a full-car tint, the math on $1,299 tuition looks like this:

$1,299 ÷ $300 = 4.3 → about 5 cars

At the Early-Bird rate it's even fewer. In a market the size of New York, the hard part isn't finding cars. It's having the skill to say yes when someone asks.

Who These Window Tint Classes Are For

• Complete beginners who want a hands-on trade
• Anyone looking for a weekend side hustle
• Detailers, PPF and wrap installers who keep sending tint jobs elsewhere
• Shop owners who want to add tint to services they already sell
