I spent a day at UK Detailing academy with Rich recently, doing my accreditation for IGL coatings and also doing some rotary and wet sanding training. 
Rich was extremely helpful, a fantastic teacher and I really enjoyed the day while learning some new skills and tips. 
I would highly recommend UK Detailing academy to anyone looking to expand their skills and look forward to going back again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Did a full day with Rich on the day Wet-sanding course, Rich is very knowledgeable while using excellent teaching methods and techniques, ensuing he has the right balance of theory and practical teaching methods, however always on hand to guide and advise on the best safe practices. In conclusion I fully recommend Rich and UK Detailing Academy to enhance your knowledge as there's always something new to learn or just keeping your skills current.

I booked my team (including myself) onto a scratch and chip repair masterclass as this was an area I felt we all needed improvement in. UK Detailing Academy offer a wonderful environment in which to learn. Structured yet informal, enjoyable but focused on the task at hand. Lots of opportunity to try the well thought out techniques, with guidance and straight forward best practice. Excellent value for money, and we’ll look forward to returning in the future.

So pleased I attended the scratch, chip and touch in training day with Rich and Ian. Learnt so much and great to meet the team and other PVD members. Really enjoyed the hands on element of the day. A perfect balance of practical hands on versus classroom versus information. Great facility and an excellent day concluded with Bert turning up with his big lenses again.
