Why Choose Australia's Leading Online Tinting School?
Hey, I’m Alex – founder of the Window Tint Training Institute.
I’ve been a professional window tinter since 2012 and have tinted over 15,000 cars. For the past 5 years, I’ve trained more than 230 students across Australia – from complete beginners to established businesses – through my $3,500, five-day hands-on workshops.
Now, I’ve taken everything from those workshops and built this online course to give you the same expert training — without the travel, accommodation costs, or classroom distractions. This is the course I wish I had when I was starting out.
Why Start a Window Tinting Business?
Most people want to make more money and have more freedom, but:
- Starting a regular business is confusing and expensive
- Most side hustles require too much time or investment
- Traditional businesses come with headaches—employees, equipment, and overhead
- Restaurants fail 80% of the time and require 12+ hour days
- E-commerce is saturated with fierce competition and thin margins
- Franchises cost $100K+ upfront with ongoing royalty fees
- Most businesses take 2-3 years just to break even
A trade skill you keep
What learning to tint gives you
Work for yourself
Set your own prices and your own hours.
Low start-up cost
Tools and a roll of film run to a few hundred dollars. No shop, no staff.
Flexible
Fit jobs around work, study or family. Weekends only is a real option.
Grow at your pace
Start with friends’ cars, add customers as your work improves.
Steady demand
Heat, UV and privacy keep window tinting in demand all year round.
A skill you keep
Once you can tint, nobody can take that away from you.
What tinters charge
Mobile tinters in Australia commonly charge a few hundred dollars to tint a car, and film costs a small fraction of that. What you actually earn depends on your prices, your area, how much work you take on and how you market yourself. These are general figures, not a promise or a guaranteed income. The course teaches the skill; the income follows the work you put in.

Harjeet
“This online course is very helpful, I was trying to tint by watching Youtube videos and it did not work out, especially the rear windows, it’s hard to shrink if you don’t know what you doing and after buying Alex’s online course I can finally tint the whole car by myself including shrinking the rear windows.”
Gavin
I live in Perth and was not possible to travel down to Adelaide, so I bought his online course and the best decision ever! Alex is very helpful and supportive.
Jason
I live in New Zealand and I had been following Alex on his Youtube channel for a long time, I kinda knew him even before I bought his course. great guy course is to the point, no BS!
Will
“This course was a game-changer for me. After struggling to learn window tinting on my own for 8 months, I discovered his step-by-step instructions very helpful. I quickly identified my mistakes, practiced what he taught, and achieved great results. Now, I feel confident enough to tint cars professionally. Thanks to Alex, I’ve mastered this craft and highly recommend it.”
Rupinder
This is a real deal guys! I like the way he explains everything in the course, you understand everything all the steps. I practiced tinting my own two cars its not perfect but I totally understand where I made the mistakes and how to solve it.

I did online automotive tinting course and learned so much. Those of you who are thinking of doing it, just do it, as Alex will pass down his knowledge, tips & tricks. You will learn all aspects of the legal requirements, knife and cutting skills, and how the film is manufactured! Also, you will have access to a tinting network which is also very handy, and also knowing that Alex is just a text or phone call away and is more than happy to answer anytime. Thanks again

Online School vs Expensive Workshops
A fraction of the cost of a hands-on workshop, and you can rewatch every lesson.
But Can Online Really Be As Good As Hands-On?
“I need hands-on training to learn properly”
Online gives you something hands-on can't: complete control. You can pause, rewind, and rewatch complex steps as many times as needed. Most hands-on classes rush through everything. This way, you master it at your own pace. Our research has shown that people who learnt online have actually started their side hustle gig and started earning money.
“What if I mess up without an instructor watching me?”
That’s exactly why this system works. Instead of trying to memorize under pressure like hands-on training, you can rewatch lessons while practicing. You’ll gain real confidence through repetition — not panic. Even skilled tinters make silly mistakes now and then, so don't worry too much.
“Can’t I just watch free YouTube videos?”
YouTube is entertainment — this is a business system. Free content is scattered and often wrong. Our course is a proven path that’s worked for hundreds of students. You’re not guessing — you’re following step-by-step instructions that lead to learning tinting in short time, and income faster. Instead of watching random YouTube videos and wasting 8 months on learning with lots of mistakes, we offer a structured course so there’s no guessing or delays.
“Is this really beginner friendly?”
Yes — over 80% of students who succeed never tinted before. If you can watch a video and follow simple instructions, you can learn this. The system was designed for total newcomers. We have students from different backgrounds — Uber drivers, nurses, teachers, office workers, tilers, gardeners — who never held any tools or film before, yet they learned it and started earning.

I would like to thank Alex from Tint Training Institute for this course, If it wasn’t for Alex I wouldn’t have opened up my own tinting business that’s booming in less than 2 months of being trained by him. I really appreciate everything you’ve done, couldn’t have done it without you!
Ryan Harris

Thank you to Alex at The Tint Institute for taking the time to perfect my tinting skills. Alex’s course has guided me throughout my learning experience every step of the way which has led me to start my own business in the industry. I couldn’t have done it without him!! Highly recommended

FAQs
You can start this business with the investment of just $500 to $700, The Essential tint tools you require cost around $200 to $300 and a roll of film which is 100cm x 30m will cost $200 to $250. You will require at least 2 different shades i.e. 35% vlt and 20% vlt roll.
There are very few professional tinters as this is a skilled base business, which cannot be bought for money or be copied by anyone, so the demand is high and supply is very low in Australia.
YES! Training is a must if you want to start your own business, as this will help you avoid damaging your or friends’ or families’ cars, or even worst customers, learning how to use tools like a heat gun, knife in a proper manner will help you in long run.
Getting some kind of training is the best way to get into this business. So you don’t waste time and money trying to figure out everything yourself, training would fast track you in starting your own business.

The Window Tint Training Institute is a structured training program built by Alex, who has over 15 years of professional tinting experience and has personally trained more than 230 students through hands-on workshops. The online course covers the exact same curriculum — from tools and preparation through to advanced heat-shrinking techniques — with the advantage of lifetime access so you can rewatch any lesson as many times as you need. You’ll also receive a supplier list, business setup guidance, and access to our student community. The only real difference between this and a $2,500 in-person tinting school is the price and the fact that you can learn from home.
It varies a lot. Mobile tinters commonly charge a few hundred dollars per car, and what you earn depends on your prices, how many cars you take on, your area and how you market yourself. Some students tint a car or two on weekends for extra income; others build a full-time business over time. These are general figures, not a promise or a guaranteed income.
As a rough guide for a home-based tinter: the film for one car costs tens of dollars and jobs are commonly priced at a few hundred dollars, so most of the job price is your labour. Shops charge more and carry more overhead. Actual prices, film costs and margins vary by area, film brand and vehicle, so treat these as examples rather than a promise.
No. Most tinters start on their own and only take on help if the business grows. Working alone keeps your costs low.
An experienced tinter can tint 3-4 cars per day. Some days, depending on the cars, we can do six cars. When a person is starting out and just learning, they should set realistic expectations. To finish a car in a day is realistic, and probably if they did that every day for a month, by the end of the month they should be able to get up to two cars in a day.
99% of the time it should be done in an enclosed area, although there are days that you can tint outside.
Absolutely. Actually the learning curve for doing flat glass work such as businesses and residences is one day. A person literally can go out and start tinting those types of windows the same day that they get their tools and their materials. They are straightforward once you have the technique, and many tinters add flat-glass work alongside car jobs.
