Learn From 20 Years of Real-World Experience

​

Our instructors aren't just teaching window tinting. They're working professionals who install window film on real customer vehicles.

​

At Empire Window Tinting, we work across automotive, residential and commercial window tinting.

You'll learn practical techniques, proven processes and the small details that make the difference between a frustrating installation and a clean, professional-looking finish.

​

We don't just show you what to do. We explain why it matters, demonstrate the technique and help you correct mistakes as you practise.

Why learn with Empire?

Teaching yourself automotive window tinting can mean hours of frustration, wasted film and repeating mistakes without knowing what went wrong.

Online videos can show you a technique, but they can't watch your hands, correct your positioning or explain why an installation isn't working.

At Empire Window Tinting, you'll learn directly from experienced installers who can identify mistakes and guide you through the correct process in real time.

You'll understand not just how to install window film, but why each step matters.

Less guessing. More practising. Better foundations.

What's included

Turn up ready to learn. We'll supply the rest.

​

Your course fee includes:

• Two full days of practical instruction

• Access to a dedicated training vehicle

• All window film required during training

• Professional installation tools for use throughout the course

• Student training workbook

• Quick-reference installation process guide

• Empire Tint Academy Certificate of Completion

• Lunch and refreshments on both days

There's no need to purchase tools or materials before attending.

Just bring yourself, wear enclosed footwear and be ready to get hands-on.

 

Who Is This Course For?

Beginners who want to learn properly.

This course is designed for people with little or no automotive window tinting experience.

It's particularly suited to:

• Complete beginners interested in learning a practical skill

• People considering a career in window tinting

• Automotive detailers wanting to expand their knowledge

• Vehicle wrap and PPF installers

• Automotive industry workers

• DIY enthusiasts

• People exploring window tinting as a potential business opportunity

You don't need previous experience or specialist knowledge.

We start with the fundamentals and build from there.

​

​

What You'll Walk Away Knowing

 

Two days won't make you a professional tinter. Nobody gets there that fast.

What two days can give you is a solid foundation, practical experience and a clear understanding of how to continue improving.

By the end of the course, you'll have worked with automotive window film and gained hands-on experience in glass preparation, film cutting, positioning and installation.

You'll also be introduced to the techniques used to heat-shrink and install rear windscreens.

Most importantly, you'll understand the correct workflow, recognise common beginner mistakes and know what to practise next.

You won't leave as a professional tinter. You'll leave knowing how to start becoming one.

​
