Level 1 & 2 Intensive Detailing Course

By Uk Detailing Academy

Launch your Detailing Career Combining two of our syllabus levels into a 5-day period, this course has been specially created to accommodate those travelling from further afield, and international detailer training. UK Detailing Academy's recommended syllabus path remains that structured learning over a longer period remains the most effective way to deliver vocational education. It's the reason we disagree with supposed one-week 'master detailer' courses in principle, there's just too much information in a short space of time. However, we recognise that, for some, the logistical challenges can be both burdensome and financially off-putting. With that in mind, we have taken the decision to introduce an allowance to book Levels One and Two of our detailer syllabus back to back for those travelling long distances to attend. Attendees will still need to complete the coursework and take the online exams for both levels in order to achieve our certification. For more information on the syllabus of both courses, please read through the full course description below. Notes: Mondays are the only start day available online as this is a 5-day course. If you need to start on another day due to travel and run over into the following week, please contact us to discuss. To book this course using Paypal Credit, please contact the office as it exceeds the advertised maximum payment limit, which we can then negotiate.

Attendees will still need to complete the coursework and take the online exams for both levels in order to achieve our certification.   The aim of Level One is ideal for those just about to, or have recently entered the detailing industry, or those who wish to reset and refresh their skills. the aim is to familiarise the candidate with the processes and maintenance of vehicles from a professional and business view, teaching the foundations of correct vehicle cleaning up to the final familiarisation of entry-level dual action machine polishers. Business practices and health and safety are explored covering areas such as pricing, marketing, SDS and environmental conformity. Along the way topics covered will be: Washing stages Wash media Environmental considerations Drying methods Bonded contamination and its removal Wheel care and maintenance Glass and hard surfaces Engine bay cleaning Vulnerable surfaces Efficiency and process PPE and safety Clothing and working practices Risk assessment Chemical knowledge Van set-ups Interior detailing Leather and soft surface care Fillers/glazing Dual action machine polishers intro Minor defect identification Paint types LSPs Final presentation Marketing Conflict resolution and customer care Financing Insurance Pricing and quotes Business Administration Memberships Social Media Manual handling Safe working practices Pre-work inspection Level 2 Following your introduction skills learnt in Level One you will be progressing onto more advanced machine polishing and cleaning techniques. Machines introduced at this level include forced rotation dual action polishers, every inception of Dual action polishers, both in throw and size. We'll also look at pad types, heavy cutting options and defect identification to assess what can be rectified and how. Interiors are explored in greater depth with higher yield services with dry steam cleaning, odour removal, leather protection and treatment, and stain removal with the associated chemistry. • Pad types • Compound grades • Rubber and plastic protection • Coatings after-care • Polymer and PTFE exterior LSPs • Glass sealants • Troubleshooting • Accreditations • Financial management • Insurance • Marketing • Pricing • Spot Sanding • Targeting your customer base • Safe working practice • Workshop planning • Intermediate chemical knowledge • Efficiency and time management • Matt finishes • Environmental considerations • Advanced cleaner chemistry • Bonded overspray and concrete • LSPs • Engine bay detailing • Plastic trim restoration • Odour removal • Steam cleaning • Stain removal & chemical principles • Fabric and leather protection • Paint types and their principles • Long and short throw DA machines • Forced action machines • Lighting • Defect identification All levels are accompanied by a full course booklet to revisit topics covered when needed. Practical assessment takes place as part of the original training session, at the end of the course you will be assigned a (manageable) series of case studies and exercises to complete over the period of 3 months to cement the knowledge. There is then an externally assessed online exam, to ensure there are no weaker/problem areas and to assess the candidate's knowledge. After which the Level One and Two accreditations are awarded and you can either progress or choose to practice the skills gained with ongoing support. We would again stress that, if able to attend both courses separately, candidates are likely to better retain the information delivered. However, if logistics are a challenge, then this is the ideal course to get your detailing career started.   Course Length 3 Days (0930 - 1600) Group Size One-to-One Location UK Detailing Academy, 2 Purlieus Barn, Ewen, Cirencester, GL7 6BY Experience / Qualification Open to all Refreshments or Lunch Refreshments included
