A PRACTICAL PATH INTO THE TRADE
Two Weeks Built Around Doing The Work
This program is designed to put you around the tools, panels, vehicles and techniques used in real dent repair work—not just theory.
You’ll learn how to identify damage, understand access points, choose the right tools, work high and low spots, safely gain access through doors, lights and headliners, use glue-pulling techniques, finish and polish the repair area, and build confidence through repeated hands-on practice.
The goal is bigger than learning how to remove a dent. You’ll also learn how to think about pricing, customer communication, presenting your work, finding jobs, building a local reputation and creating a path toward operating your own dent-repair business.
Your Tools Go With You
Students are provided tools for the training and keep them after completion.
Skill + Business
Learn the repair process and the fundamentals of turning the skill into a service business.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
From Finding The Dent To Finishing The Repair
Reading The Panel

Tool Control
Use dent rods, tap-downs and other repair tools with controlled pressure and precision.
Safe Access
Understand common access points through doors, tail lights, headliners and other removable components.
Glue Pulling
Learn glue-pulling fundamentals, when to use them and how they fit into a complete repair process.
Finish & Polish
Learn cleanup, polishing and finishing steps that help present a professional final result.
Real-World Practice
Apply the process on real cars and trucks so you can build judgment, speed and confidence.
More Than A Day-by-Day Checklist.The curriculum is taught as a connected workflow so each skill builds into the next—from finding damage and gaining access to tool selection, repair execution, finishing, and final evaluation.
