The Certified Detailer Program (Phase I) consists of an intensive one day course covering all aspects of detailing. At the conclusion of this course, you will take ten exams, 10-20 questions each, covering the following subject areas: Equipment, Chemicals, Glass, Interior Detailing, Leather, Paint Correction & Protection, Wheels & Tires, Prep Wash/Wash Bay, Detailing Terminology, and Safety & Compliance. To become a Certified Detailer, class participants must have a passing grade of 80% on each exam.

The Skills Validated (Phase II) Program covers four primary categories in which each candidate must demonstrate their hands-on ability to perform. They must have passed the ten written exams in Phase I and completed an in-person testing by an IDA Recognized Trainer in the following areas: Wash Bay/Prep, Interior, Exterior Correction, and Finishing Steps. Each portion of the testing will be a one-on-one teacher to student session.
