What Is Paintless Dent Repair?
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is a method of removing dents and dings from vehicle panels without sanding, filling or repainting. Technicians use specialized rods, hand tools and glue-pulling equipment, guided by reflections on a lighting board, to work metal back into shape from behind or in front of the panel.
What the Two-Week Program Covers
Training runs for 10 instructional days on real panels and vehicles. Over the two weeks, students work through:
- Foundations of paintless dent repair: reading reflections and handling the core tools
- Dent control, repair consistency and refinement on door and fender panels
- Glue pulling, tight-access repairs and advanced hand tools
- Real vehicle workflow and multi-panel repairs
- A final evaluation repair completed independently
A professional PDR tool kit and an LED lighting board are part of the program. See the full day-by-day breakdown on the program page.
Small Classes, No Experience Required
The program is designed for career changers, veterans, and people who want to build their own business — no prior experience is required. Class size is limited to four students, so each student gets close instruction at the panel.
Veterans can ask about our Skills For Service Scholarship.
