IN DEVELOPMENT · BUILT FOR THE SHOP
Practical online training for emergency vehicle upfitters. From your first install to your next challenge, we’re building a clearer path to confident, professional work.
By Upfit Nation. For the people behind the build.
01 / OUR VISION
Every upfitter starts somewhere. Good training should help you move forward with purpose.
Upfitter Academy grew from years of hands-on emergency vehicle installation work and conversations across the Upfit Nation community. The goal is to make practical training accessible to new installers and experienced technicians alike.
We’ll explain the reasoning behind the work, show how skills connect, and create reference material you can return to when a build gets challenging.
02 / THE TRAINING PATH
One free introductory course. Affordable paid training to deepen your skills. Learn at your own pace, with a clear next step.
A starting point for understanding the work, the equipment, and the habits behind a professional installation.
Build a stronger understanding of circuits, power distribution, and harness work.
Explore practical approaches to lighting, controls, mounting, and serviceability.
Develop a methodical approach to diagnosis and solutions for custom builds.
Course topics are previews of our intended curriculum. Final lessons, pricing, and availability will be announced as courses are developed.
