Avery Dennison Graphic Solutions is excited to announce that 36 vehicle wrap installers passed the certification exam from July - December 2015. In total, 50 installers passed the test in 2015, a record number of certifications since the exam’s start in 2011.
To become an Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installer (CWI), applicants must pass a test designed and administered by Justin Pate, an internationally renowned installer and Avery Dennison wrap training instructor. The exam includes five modules: a written exam, hands-on vehicle wrap installation demonstration, fender door/window installation and a cutting test.
“The Avery Dennison wrap certification exam is rigorous,” said Justin Pate, lead instructor for the car wrap workshops. “The exam is meant to challenge installers and ensure those that pass are the best of the best. We want them to feel confident in their car wrap installation skills and proudly display the CWI logo to represent their hard work.”
