Are you thinking about Paintless Dent Removal or a Recon business?
That is great. Probably a very smart move, on your part... So you click on our site when you go to Google, or Yahoo. And you try a few more, because you want to see what is out there. Do your research. I do the very same thing when I am online shopping around too.
But when you start to look around, there is SO much rhetoric, and so much conflicting information. I mean I am IN the business and I get confused myself when I look at all the options for new students.
Then when you call some of the schools, just when you have high hopes of clearing up some of the clouds in your head, it gets WORSE. Some schools actually trash talk other schools (highly unprofessional in my opinion), some schools toss around the word "Certified", like it really has some huge meaning, which after more research you will find that there is no such thing as a certified PDR Tech...unlike other certifications such as ASE, I-CAR, etc etc....so the clouds just get darker and more confusing.
Here is the bad news- I am not going to cure the clouds..I am just going to try to make things a little clearer, since all the information can become very imposing. If you have decided to learn Paintless Dent Removal, that is great. That is the first step. Secondly, where you go is the second most important step, and choosing a good school for your training is not going to be super easy, but it can be rather simple. Obviously, since we operate a school, we would love to see you train with us, but I am not going to steer you with a totally one sided view, I am going to put this in simple perspective: I recommend that you call any school that you have an interest in, and:
1) Speak with the representative and get details about the course, the day to day topics you will be learning, the number of students in your class per instructor, and the costs of course.
2) I would also recommend that you get a very recent trainee testimonial, and if possible, one that is over a year out of the school. This, if possible, will tell you about the student’s progress with that school, and how they feel about it.
3) I know this takes time, but this is a great way to research the schools. Fancy websites, literature and salespeople are nice, but what you get in the class and learn is all that will matter after you leave, and that is what you are staking your future on...so if you have the time, try the suggestion’s above, and you should be able to narrow down your options with ease.
