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.
