4 Week PDR Training Paintless Dent Repair / Removal Course

paintless dent repair training / pdr ding removal Introducing our most complete PDR training course we offer. It combines all of what you have learned from the first 3 weeks and then some. By now you will feel confident and ready to test your skills at almost anything we throw at you, or shall we say, dent at you! It's still very challenging because we don't sugar coat your dent repairs. In other words, we don't give you easy dents to remove. We give you all types of dents to remove, including; creases, deep body lines, deep center pit dings, hidden crowns and trapped pressure dents.

You will notice a significant difference between the second week and your 4th week of the PDR training. Our goal is to train, teach and test you as much as possible so you can hit the field with more knowledge and experience. We're not guaranteeing you'll be ready for everything, but we will guarantee it will take you a much shorter amount of time to gain the experience compared to a 1 week course.

Our 4 week PDR training course was designed to start you out crawling and end you up running. As a continued 18 plus year PDR tech myself, I understood how it was to struggle and feel like giving up. Trial and error is not what I teach. I teach only what works and leave out what doesn't. This is why I recommend the 4 week course because it may be a little more than you can afford or be away from work, but overall, it saves you both time and money.

Below you will see that our 4 weeks training is beyond basic. This repair demonstrates the skill you will need to remove a complex deep dent on a body line. We teach you exactly step by step the techniques and the tools needed to achieve such repairs. Although this takes much patience, we instruct you to stay in good habit. More important, not to create more damage like break paint and jeopardize the overall pdr repair. By now, you know what is good habit and what is not.

paintless dent repair / removal trainingBefore you can walk, you must learn how to crawl first as they say. That's exactly what we demonstrate during our pdr training curriculum. You'll have to learn how to tap down before you can actually push a dent. This technique is commonly known as a knocking or tapping down. Not for just for the sole purpose of correcting mistakes but simple for releasing pressure and keeping the paint flexible as well.

Knocking down is just as important as pushing a dent. That's why you'll get plenty of practice to perfect a developing good habit when it comes to learning the tap down technique.
