The Level One Motorbike course is tailored for individuals venturing into the motorbike detailing industry, or seeking to refine their skills with a specific focus on motorcycles.
Its objective is to familiarise candidates with the processes and maintenance of motorcycles and the specific skills this entails, encompassing both professional and business perspectives.
From foundational vehicle cleaning techniques and vehicle setup on stands for safe working, fairing removal and bike-specific protocols to becoming adept with small dual-action machine polishers, participants gain comprehensive knowledge.
