UK Detailing Academy takes pride in being the exclusive training provider for Colourlock’s Accredited Leather Technician course in the UK covering all automotive leather repair techniques and setting up the user as a ready-to-go business with the full starter kit provided.
This comprehensive course spans three days of intensive one-to-one training and skills development. Participants are guided through every aspect of leather repair, from initial cleaning and assessment to addressing common issues such as scuffs, rips, and tears. Instruction includes in-house colour matching and blending techniques, as well as repair and recolouring of steering wheels, trim, and plastic components. Upon completion, attendees gain the expertise and confidence to undertake leather repairs on a wide range of vehicles, with ongoing technical support provided for as long as needed. Graduates of the course also have the opportunity to join the prestigious Colourlock Accredited leather repair network, entailing benefits such as Colourlock branding and exclusive discounts on tools, consumables, and materials.
The course is structured over three days, with the first day focusing on theoretical aspects of leather, cleaning, and maintenance. The second day delves into repair techniques and graining, while the third day is dedicated to practical sessions where participants hone their colour-matching skills, tackle more complex repairs, and refine their practical repair abilities under the guidance of the instructor. This immersive learning approach instils confidence, enabling attendees to immediately commence minor repairs, although continued practice is recommended to master nuances such as colour matching and intricate repair work.
Included in the price is the Colourlock Leather Repair Technician (LRT) master kit at a value of over £2000, providing essential tools and materials to commence repairs promptly, along with a colour system for custom paint blending. Additionally available to purchase is the Colourlock Colour Scanner, to speed up colour matching – though you will be taught technique both with and without the accessory.
