Finding a PDR School (Paint-less Dent Repair), is not as difficult as you might think. There are many schools that offer this cutting edge training and have you doing your own repairs in the least amount of time.
Do some online research to find out the schools in your area. Call or visit with several of them and ask if they have testimonials from other students who have trained there. Make sure you get all of your questions answered to your satisfaction. Also, make sure they state approved. Some people believe that small schools that offer one-on-one training are better than bigger schools that have large class sizes. You will have to decide for yourself which one you feel more comfortable with.
There are also online schools that offer PDR training, via videos and tutorials. The best way to learn this type of craft is through relevant practice, so if you choose this method, makes sure you get plenty of hands-on training as well. You may want to buy a 'Junker' to practice on.
Before enrolling in the training, make sure you have what it takes to own your own business. You should have an entrepreneurial spirit and the drive and ambition to succeed. You may also want to take some business courses, such as accounting and bookkeeping. You can also work for dent companies, but many techs find that they make more money when they are on their own.
Generally it takes anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to complete your training from a quality school. They will be able to help you with your marketing and sales plan, and recommend the tools you will need in order to get started. This is one of the questions you should ask them before you enrol in the program. Be sure that you will be receiving advice and help afterwards.
There are always new courses and new techniques to learn, so be prepared to keep your skills updated. A good quality school will provide courses that will keep you up-to-date with the latest technology in PDR.
Finding a quality PDR school takes some time and effort, but it will be well worth it when you know you're getting the training you need. You can make a very good living, and have the success that thousands of other entrepreneurs have had. Working on your own is not always easy but it is much more rewarding.
