Start a detailing career specialising in motorcycles
What the course covers
The Level 1 Motorbike course gives you a thorough grounding in professional motorcycle care — from the first inspection through to final presentation — alongside the business and safety knowledge that underpins a credible detailing operation.
Practical topics include safe vehicle setup on paddock stands, fairing removal, washing stages and drying methods, bonded contamination removal, wheel care, glass and hard surfaces, engine bay cleaning, interior and leather care, and an introduction to dual-action machine polishers for minor defect correction.
On the business side, you’ll cover pricing and quoting, marketing and social media, customer care and conflict resolution, insurance, financing, business administration, and SDS and environmental compliance.
A full topic list is available below and in your course booklet, which is included and yours to keep for ongoing reference.
Your options going forward
If you’re planning to work across both motorcycles and cars, you may want to consider the Level 1 + Motorbike option, which combines both in a single course.
Level 1 Motorbike on its own is the right choice if motorbikes are your primary or sole focus.
Assessment & Progression
Practical assessments are integrated throughout the training to confirm your understanding as you go. These are followed by a series of case studies and exercises to consolidate your learning in the weeks after the course. An externally assessed online exam completes the certification process, and upon passing, you’ll receive your Level One accreditation.
From there, you can progress through our course structure, add specialist skill courses to complement what you’ve learned, or get straight to work with ongoing support from the academy.
