Slim's Detailing Training Academy

Slim's detailing academy

We are delighted to say (as far as we know!) that we are the only provider of a detailing training course with a recognised qualification in the UK. At our training centre in Coventry, you can participate in a variety of training courses – some certified by the IMI. Find out more about the IMI Assessment & Qualification.

Our 'Master Detailer Training’ and ‘Paintwork Polishing and Ceramic Coatings’ courses are recognised & accredited by the IMI, who are the Sector Skills Council for the retail motor industry. We also offer individual bespoke training days for those who may have already gained qualification from us but would like to hone in their skills to something more specific.

Whether you’re a beginner or on your way to becoming a pro, we’ve got the course for you.
