Bowax Academy is organized as vocational training rather than a classic course: participants are active practitioners, not spectators, and discipline, order and professional work habits are part of the training.

• Training runs on a weekly cycle: a new class opens every week for every course, starting on Monday and finishing on Saturday.
• Training hours are 09:00–18:00, Monday to Saturday.
• Around 90% of the time is hands-on practice on real vehicles; theory and practice run together.
• Classes are limited to 3 participants so that every participant works on the vehicle.
• Work clothing, lunch, and the products and equipment used in training are provided by the Academy at no extra charge.
• Every participant receives a separate Bowax Academy certificate for each course completed.
• No prior experience is required; professionals who want to improve their skills can join the same programs.
• The minimum age is 15; participants aged 15–17 need the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

A separate, structured career program that combines 6 weeks of Academy training (2 weeks polishing, 2 weeks PPF, 2 weeks window film) with a 6–8-week field internship, a theoretical assessment and a practical performance exam — about 12–14 weeks in total. Participants who pass are placed, according to suitable positions and needs, in Bowax Care application centers, Bowax Academy, Bowax affiliates or partner professional centers. Placement comes with a 1-year work commitment. Program fee: TRY 260,000 (TRY 110,000 for women participants).

The program is separate from the standard courses; it does not apply to everyone who takes a standard training. Employment contract, workplace, position and salary are set by the placing employer. Program details (in Turkish)

Women take the same courses with the same content, duration and practical standard — without a training fee. Women participants pay only an operational service and usage fee of TRY 10,000–25,000, depending on the course, which covers materials, equipment, work clothing and meals. There is no separate quota for women: classes have 3 places and a whole class can be women. Accommodation is not provided within this program.

Program details (in Turkish)

Participants of the standard programs who travel from other cities or countries can use free, optional accommodation during their training. It is shared, dormitory-style accommodation (not a hotel), with rooms generally for 3–4 people; using it or not does not change the training fee. Accommodation is not provided within the Women-Focused Training Program.

After training, support continues through the Bowax Academy Student Portal: participants access training content, follow their questions and support requests, and see student and graduate benefits, including product and equipment advantages from partner suppliers.

Bowax Academy's training model and its women-focused program have been covered by Turkish national newspapers, news agencies and economic and sector media. Read the English press summaries.
