Avery Dennison® Graphics Solutions has added two all-new classes to its previously announced 2024 training schedule. The two new classes are Architectural Window Film Training and Advanced Supreme Wrapping Film™ Training. Both will be held at The Wrap Gym at Miller Decals in Acworth, Georgia, outside of Atlanta.
The Architectural Window Film Training takes place June 10-11 and also September 30-October 1. All skill levels are welcome. No previous experience is required. The class will be limited to a maximum of fourteen students. The cost of this training class is $995.
The training will focus solely on installing architectural solar window film—both interior and exterior. Brief presentations will take place in the morning of Day 1 and the early afternoon of Day 2. The greater part of the two days will be devoted to instruction, hands-on demonstrations and installations.
All tools and materials will be provided by Avery Dennison along with different types of windows to practice on. All participants will receive a toolkit and roll of reflective interior film after the training as well as an architectural dealer kit.
Harold Nimtz will be the trainer for the Architectural Window Film Training. He is owner/operator of House of Tint, which he established in Phoenix in 2005 and now operates in Winslow, Arizona. Nimtz specializes in window tinting for cars, trucks, homes and businesses.
The Advanced Supreme Wrapping Film Training takes place May 31-June 1 and again September 19-20. This class is exclusively for current Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installers. It is the highest level of training Avery Dennison offers. The class will include two trainers and be limited to no more than sixteen students. The cost of this class is $1,699.
The training will focus on high-level install techniques that will increase productivity and grow profits.
Multiple vehicles and plenty of practice material will be provided, and students will receive a free roll of film of their choice after the training. There will be a dinner after the first day’s class and a virtual group coaching session within thirty days following the training class.
