UKDA’s Professional Valeting Skills course is a one-day, 1-to-1 valeting training course to teach the processes, techniques and chemical knowledge to professionally clean, decontaminate and valet vehicles in an efficient and effective manner.
Professional valeting is different from just being able to clean a car, with costs, time and equipment all contributing to the success or failure of a business. Learning the processes you will use for consistent results and maximum efficiency cuts out a learning curve and, because we are an independent training centre, we can show you the full range of chemicals and equipment on the market to guide your choice without wasting valuable start-up capital. All practical work takes place on our dedicated training vehicles, so you can learn with confidence, and zero risk.
After completion, you will understand and be competent in;
- Vehicle assessment, recording and estimating
- Safety, dilution, and chemical knowledge
- Customer expectation, time constraints and targets
- Efficient work processes and technique
- Basic and advanced cleaning and decontamination
- Exterior protection options, and how to apply them.
- Interior dry work
- Interior wet cleaning (stains and odours)
- Quality check and handover
The aim of the day is not only to make you competent in cleaning, but to help you achieve consistent results within a set time window, every time. You’ll leave knowing not just how to remove iron fallout, but how long a full exterior decontamination takes on a typical hatchback, how that changes for a large SUV, and where time gets wasted or recovered.
This is a course for anyone starting a valeting business who wants to begin in the best possible position, taught by experienced instructors – not sales reps. Book your date on this one-to-one course and launch with the confidence and knowledge to adapt your services to any vehicle condition.
The next step from this course as your business grow would be to enhance your skills with Foundation Machine Polishing, when you start to get demand, or tackle more on the interior with Advanced Interior Detailing.
