Attending Ding King Training institute for their 12 week PDR program was an incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations.

Ding King is the real deal, me and my business partner came here for the 5 day class for detailing, paint correction and ceramic coating training and certification. They keep the classes small so that we can really get 1 on 1 training and instruction to really help improve our skills, Stu was our instructor and you can tell he really cares and has a passion for detailing with his extensive knowledge and the way he trains us, definitely want to come back soon for PPF Training to further our business even more.
