How Does the FLEXXpert Detailing Academy Work?
Our academy is part of an active detailing shop, so you get the benefit of hands-on experience in a real-world business environment. Marc customizes each training session to meet your specific needs, but we also offer structured courses for those looking for a more traditional approach. You can choose to train one-on-one or in small groups (maximum of 3 participants) for a more personalized experience.
