Quick answer
  • Get hands-on training first, then practise. Speed comes from repetition.
  • Buy Scorpion film through a distributor, or directly from Scorpion where there's no distributor in your region.
  • Tint Academy students and graduates can apply for Scorpion dealer access.

Plenty of installers across North America want to work with Scorpion film, but the path isn't always clear, especially in Canada. Here's the route we walk our students through, from first class to buying film for your own jobs. A longer version with buying options is on our store blog: Scorpion window film training in the USA and Canada.

1. Learn the installs hands-on

Tint Academy is an official Scorpion Window Film training partner and has trained 7,500+ students over 10 years. Our 2-day window tint course runs in cities across Canada and the USA, including classes at Scorpion Films' headquarters in Cloverdale, Indiana. Students keep a professional tool kit and a 100 ft roll of ceramic window film, and get online course access and lifetime mentor support. Find your nearest city on our course locations page.

2. Practise on real cars

Two days gives you the method. The weeks after give you the speed. Tint friends' and family cars, time yourself and inspect every install in bright light. Our beginner practice plan for Scorpion film lays out the order.

3. Set up a way to buy Scorpion film

In the USA

Scorpion's distributor page names Meyer Distributing as its national US distributor and lists regional distributors in several states.

In Canada

As of November 12, 2026, Scorpion's distributor page doesn't list a Canadian distributor. Its How to Buy page says installers in regions without a distributor can buy directly through Scorpion's contact form, and its sales team will help with pricing and availability. Check shipping to your province with Scorpion directly.

Dealer access

Tint Academy students and graduates can apply for Scorpion dealer access at scorpionwindowfilm.com and mention Tint Academy for professional pricing on film, plotters and software. Read why we recommend Scorpion.

4. Choose your lineup

Most shops stock two or three of Scorpion's five automotive series rather than all of them. Our Scorpion specs reference and customer consultation guide will help you decide.

5. Add SCAN and a plotter

Scorpion's SCAN app combines vehicle patterns, quoting and plotter cutting on your phone or tablet. Our tutorial walks through setting up a plotter wirelessly with Scorpion Scan:

6. Check the rules where you work

A training certificate isn't a government licence. Check the business registration rules in your province or state, and learn the local tint limits for each window. Our guide to window tint certification in Canada and the USA explains how training, film warranties and local rules fit together.
