The DVDs are okay.. you're not going to watch them and go wrapping though. The classes are well worth it. The first class we took was put on by Arlon and taught by Richie Daize (who is now in sales for Arlon) and was very informative. The second class we took was the Oracal Wrapping Academy, in which we learned even more. I also attended the Oracal Rip 2 Wrap class, which was a little more focused on the front end side of things.
Keep in mind that each type of vinyl is a little different, and the specified install methods vary by brand.
As mentioned, there is no just watching the DVD then going to go wrap a vehicle and do it correctly. You don't send a barber home with a DVD and have them come in and cut a customers hair the next day, same thing with wrapping vehicles. Theres no substitute for hands on training. Not to mention that in the Wrap Revolution DVD...its edited lol so you don't get to see all of the problems that you probably will run into every now and then, in a hands on enviroment, you will.

I recently attended a Sign Expo and they gave an in store demo and he went over some things and everyone is right the DVD's will help you a little but I am going to take a class they are offering next month as the HANDS ON will help lots more.....
