Price is one of the first questions people ask about any course, and with PDR training the price only makes sense when you look at what you get for it.
How PDR training has traditionally worked
Training used to be one trainer teaching one person, often over months. The trainee learned first, then went out on jobs with the technician watching over them and offering support. That is a lot of a skilled technician’s time, which is why long, personal training has always cost more than a short group course.
What the market looks like
Prices in Australia vary a lot, from about $2,900 to $12,000. Some courses include tools, some run for two weeks rather than one, and some are group classes while others are one-on-one. When you compare courses, compare these things, not just the price.
What to check before you pay
- Is it one-on-one, or will the trainer actually be with you the whole time?
- Are the right tools provided, for both pushing and glue-and-pull work?
- Does the trainer have proven experience, with years of hail and retail repair behind them?
- Is there follow-up support after the course?
- Do you receive a certificate of attainment at the end?
