Thinking about Paintless Dent
Removal or a Recon business.
Awesome. Probably a very smart
move... So you click on our
site when you go togoogle,
or yahoo etc etc. And you
try a few more, because you
want to see what is out there.
Not a bad idea..I do the very
same thing when Im online
shopping around too.
But when
you start to look around,
there is SO much rhetoric,
and so much conflicting information.
I mean Im IN the business
and I get confused myself
when I look at all the options
for new students.
I mean, think about it- different
tool set sizes, different
class sizes, different school
curriculum, locations, testimonials,
and thats just the beginning!
Then when
you call some of the schools,
just when you have high hopes
of clearing up some of the
clouds in your head, it gets
WORSE. Some schools actually
trash talk other schools (highly
unprofessional in my opinion),
some schools toss around the
word "Certified",
like it really has some huge
meaning, which after more
research you will find that
there is no such thing as
a certified PDR Tech...unlike
other
certifications such as ASE,
I-CAR, etc etc....so the clouds
just get darker and more confusing.
If youve been down this path
that I speak of you are probably
nodding in front of your monitor
right now, saying "Exactly"...
Here's the
bad news- Im not going to
cure the clouds..Im just going
to put some things into simple
perspective, since all the
information can become very
imposing. If you have decided
to learn Paintless Dent Removal,
thats great. That is the first
step. Secondly, where you
go is the second most important
step, and choosing a good
school for your training is
not going to be super easy,
but it can be rather simple.
Obviously, since we operate
a school, we would love to
see you come here, but Im
not going to steer you with
a totally biased view, Im
going to put this in simple
perspective: I recommend that
you call any school that you
have an interest in, and:
A) Speak with the representative
and get details about the
course, the day to day topics
you will be learning, the
number of students in your
class per instructor, and
the costs of course.
B) I would also recommend
that you get a very recent
trainee testimonial, and if
possible, one that is over
a year out of the school.
This, if possible, will tell
you about the students progress
with that school, and how
they feel about it.
C) I know this takes time,
but this is a great way to
research the schools, and
try and cut through all the
sizzle and pizzaz that some
of the schools will toss at
you. Fancy websites, literature
and salespeople are nice,
but what you get in the class
and learn is all that will
matter after you leave, and
that is what you are staking
your future on...so if you
have the time, try the suggestions
above, and you should be able
to narrow down your options
with ease.
Hope
I cleared away a few clouds..
Happy Pushing!
