If you decide to progress onto our 4 Week PDR Training Course, this course counts as Week 1, meaning you’ll only need to complete Weeks 2-4 to finish the full programme.

What Can You Expect?

As with any skilled trade, mastering PDR requires continued practice. While most trainees will be able to achieve a significant reduction in damage-or successfully “tidy up” dents covered during the course-additional training and experience are needed to consistently produce factory-standard repairs.
