Training course

The theory course was a good insight on vehicle wrapping before you took the 2 day course, I would definitely recommend before doing the 2 day course.

Fabulous 2 days of training with John and the team showing how to prep and apply architectural wraps. I’m new to the wrapping industry but as an interior designer I’m excited by the opportunities these offer.

2 day wrap technician course

The 2 day wrap technician course is highly recommended for people who work with both digitally printed and colour change vehicle wraps. Very detailed workshop covering deep recess, and the use of inlays and the use of knifeless tape and post heating techniques.
Questions answered and problem solving to prevent future issues and help improve the overall appearance of workmanship.
Expert advice from the world class prize winning instructor.

If you’re thinking about it… do it!

I want to start by saying these guys are not just there for a 9 to 5 shift, it’s clear when you get there how much love and passion they have for this industry. Seeing their excitement only fuelled me to get going and digest as much information as I could. The education they gave was thorough and clear. They gave everyone in the class the attention each of us needed. Couldn’t recommend this course enough. Thank you again to the whole team it was a lot of fun.
