PDR 5 Day Course

The 5 Day PDR Course is the original minimum required certified course in paintless dent removal that covers both pushing dents and glue pulling dent techniques. Of course, trainees are introduced into estimating dent count, depth and size of dents, and of course quotation techniques. This PDR course is aimed for both an introduction for those new to the automative repair industry and those that are experienced (although panel beaters and painters are often encouraged to do the 3 day PDR Course.
