Training courses in Miami?

[HomaspaRaj]

Hey guys, I’m looking to take a vacation in Miami during the winter (trying to catch a break from the season, and escape the Montreal winter for a little bit). I’ve currently been installing ppf for about a year now, and I feel to go and learn some intermediary to advanced techniques; and it would be great to do that while on vacation as well.
 

What places in Miami or Florida in general can I take these advanced courses?

There's not much stone in FL. ppf is a thing, but likely not like what you would find out west. If I were a young dude trying to get some serious chops, I would go apprentice with some salty old installers in somewhere like Pheonix, Salt Lake, Texas or even Atlanta. You could probably make a few bux out there while you're at it. 

 

Ppf has been in heavier use out west for longer and the installers out there seem to have a deeper knowledge having worked thru all the random crap over the years and more installers to bounce ideas with. I've met a few guys who were badazz techs that never touched a piece of paid window film.

 

As for Miami, that place is crazy. You can be in a good spot, drive two or three blocks and be in the hood by accident. Good times if your looking for gas or just following a map. That was also the first place that I ever saw bars on a burger king...that was in '92. I still drive thru there every couple of years on my way to snorkel the Keys and it never gets any safer, just a fresh coat of paint.  

 

I know that's not the answer to your posted question but I thought it might help.

Miami just seems to be a fun spot to vacation in, and intend on going to no matter what this winter. I just wanted to be it more worthwhile for me to go.

 

it just sucks that the industry in general hasn’t caught much in Canada, specifically Quebec ( I feel we are way too behind), which is why I’m looking for anything to learn in the US.

 

Appreciate you sharing that with me man!!!

Meh...you could always fly in for a weekend if you want to witness the carnage firsthand. Get an air bnb and someone local can give you the lay of the land.
