Professional Automotive Film Installation Training
Hands-on Window Tint and Paint Protection Film training inside an active installation shop. For serious beginners, working installers and automotive businesses.
Ages 18+ · Hands-on shop instruction · Reviewed individually
Real work. Real finishing standards.
Train inside a working installation shop.
Practice where film is prepared, fitted, finished and inspected every day. Real vehicles and panels, controlled instructor access and a professional workflow keep the emphasis on doing the work.
You bring the goal. We help identify the time and practice it needs. Training develops practical ability; it does not promise mastery, employment, income, business success or certification.
Three questions. A clearer next step.

Advanced outside applicants generally need two years of active experience or equivalent demonstrated work and a substantial recent portfolio. We review years installing, volume, films or systems used, recent work and the weaknesses you want to improve. References may be requested.
Before you apply
Know how your training is arranged.
Dates, hours and travel
Weekdays are standard, 9 AM–6 PM with a one-hour lunch, at Kickin’ Customs in Raynham. Approved applicants receive available dates and have five business days to accept and pay the required deposit before dates are released. Saturday may be approved at a 25% premium; Sunday is offered only in unusual circumstances. Airfare, hotel, rental car, transportation and other travel expenses are your responsibility. No off-site training is offered at launch.
Standard training payments
A 50% nonrefundable deposit reserves standard training dates. ACH or wire is preferred. The remaining 50% is due seven days before training; no balance may remain unpaid on the first day. The four-stage Development Program has its own 25%-per-stage terms.
Training financing is not offered.
Rescheduling, cancellations and seat transfers
One reschedule is allowed with at least 14 days’ notice and the deposit transfers. Late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the deposit; emergencies are reviewed at our discretion. If Kickin’ Customs cancels, choose a full refund or a 100% transfer. Seat transfers need prior approval, and the replacement trainee must complete the application and agreements.
Attendance, shop safety and conduct
A signed training agreement and waiver, closed-toe shoes, suitable shop clothing, required PPE and compliance with instructor directions are required. Full attendance is needed for a Certificate of Attendance. Lateness does not extend or repeat training; making up missed portions may cost extra. Normal mistakes and material waste are part of learning. Reckless, intentional or negligent damage may be charged. Intoxication, serious unsafe conduct, harassment, threats, deliberate property damage or repeated refusal to follow instructions can result in removal without a refund.
Recording and take-home materials
No photography, video, livestreaming or recording of demonstrations or materials without specific permission. You may use the techniques in your business and train your own employees. Kickin’ Customs branded manuals, checklists, templates, videos and other materials may not be reproduced, resold, redistributed or republished. Internal SOP libraries, pricing systems, employee materials and proprietary source files are not supplied. Do not present your own training as provided, certified, endorsed or authorized by Kickin’ Customs.
Choosing with confidence
Training questions.
Which training should a beginner choose?
For Window Tint, two days is the minimum and three is preferred. For PPF, three days is the minimum and five is stronger when starting from zero. Combined introduces both disciplines over five days; it is not the default recommendation for every beginner.
Can I take a one-day program as a beginner?
No. One-day training is for existing installers who need targeted technique work or troubleshooting. Beginners need the minimum duration for their selected discipline.
What is the difference between Private and Small Group?
Private reserves instruction for you or your approved private booking, with the program built around your experience and goals. Small Group offers a shared training format for up to four trainees, priced per person.
What is included with tuition?
Hands-on instruction, normal film and consumables, shop supplies, a professional starter tool kit, standard training vehicles or panels, lunch and non-alcoholic drinks, controlled course materials, practice guidance and applicable support are included. Testing is included only where stated for the selected program. Specialty requirements may cost extra.
Can I bring my own vehicle?
Only with prior approval, on a case-by-case basis. Standard training vehicles and panels are supplied. Do not bring a customer vehicle without approval.
Does completing training mean I am certified?
No. Full attendance earns a Certificate of Attendance. Kickin’ Customs certification requires passing the applicable hands-on test. An included attempt depends on readiness and must be used within the six-month window.
Is this manufacturer certification?
No. Kickin’ Customs training and certification do not provide XPEL or another manufacturer’s certification or authorization.
What support is included?
Standard programs include 30 days of support on the material taught, work photo or video review, troubleshooting and reasonable business-hours guidance. Development includes support between stages and 90 days after the final stage. Support is not unlimited instructor access or live jobsite supervision.
Can my business send an employee?
Yes. Shop owners may apply to develop an employee’s installation skills. The trainee must complete the application and agreements and be approved for a program that fits their experience.
Can out-of-state applicants attend?
Yes, subject to application approval. Training takes place at Kickin’ Customs in Raynham, Massachusetts. Travel, lodging and transportation are the trainee’s responsibility.
