Authorised Installer Certification Program (AICP)

A professional ceramic coating certification program designed for detailers ready to step into authorised installer-level work, CQ Professional and Finest Reserve, or Nv PRO., and real-world application standards. 

Step into the world of professional ceramic coating installation with our Authorised Installer Certification Program. This advanced, assessment-based course is designed for detailers wanting to refine their process, improve consistency, and work with professional-grade ceramic coating systems used throughout the industry. From paint preparation and correction through to coating application and aftercare, the course focuses heavily on real-world workflow, product understanding, and safe installation techniques.

Unlike beginner detailing courses, this program is aimed at those already working within the industry or serious about taking their detailing business further. You’ll work closely with experienced trainers in a small group environment, gaining practical guidance while being assessed on the standards expected from authorised ceramic coating installers. Whether you’re looking to offer higher-end ceramic coating car services, gain access to professional-only coatings, or build more credibility within your business, this course is designed to help bridge that gap properly.

 

Hot The Program Works:

The Authorised Installer Certification Program is a practical, assessment-focused training course designed to evaluate both your technical ability and overall understanding of professional ceramic coating installation. Across the 2-day program, you’ll work through key stages of the coating process including preparation, paint correction, surface inspection, coating application, and maintenance procedures.

This isn’t a “sit back and watch” style course. The focus is on hands-on work, real-world problem solving, and understanding why certain processes matter — not just memorising steps. Throughout the course, our trainers will assess consistency, technique, workflow, and overall professionalism to determine whether you meet the standard required for authorised installer status.

 

Program Delivery:

The course is delivered in a small group environment to ensure each participant receives proper guidance and individual attention. Group sizes are intentionally kept limited, allowing for more one-on-one support, technical discussion, and direct feedback throughout the program.

Training combines theory with extensive practical application. You’ll work with professional ceramic coating systems, polishing equipment, preparation methods, lighting, and installation techniques commonly used within the detailing industry. The overall goal is to create a realistic working environment that reflects genuine day-to-day coating installation processes.

 

Assessment Factors:

Participants are assessed across multiple areas throughout the program, not just the final coating result. We look at overall process, consistency, product handling, preparation standards, workflow efficiency, and attention to detail.

Some of the key areas assessed include:

  • Vehicle preparation and decontamination procedures
  • Paint correction techniques and machine control
  • Surface inspection and panel wipe processes
  • Ceramic coating application techniques
  • Levelling, flashing, and coating removal methods
  • Understanding of environmental conditions and installation variables
  • Safe product handling and workshop practices
  • Overall professionalism and workflow consistency

Authorised installer approval is based on meeting the expected standards across the course, ensuring successful applicants are capable of delivering professional ceramic coating services confidently and consistently.

        If you want to take your business to the next level and gain the opportunity to access professional grade nano coatings, then this program is a must.

        This is not a training program but rather an assessment based course that requires those attending the ability to show their level of knowledge of surface prep, paint correction and application of nano coatings.

        Over two days, our group went through the whole process using a donor vehicle and applied our practical skills all under the watchful eye of the facilitator.

        Personally, I enjoyed this process and got to meet/work with other skilled detailers which was a bonus.

        We also got to understand the nuances of specific professional grade coatings, some of which were new to market.

        Finally, the executive team at Waxit go through some options of how to better position your business in terms of nano coatings and leveraging the exclusivity of professional grade coatings and services to future customers.
