Detailing Course FAQ

You can study car detailing at the Adex Detailing workshop at 33A Allied Drive, Tullamarine VIC 3043, two minutes from Melbourne Airport. Every course is run on site with real customer vehicles, professional tools and a maximum of four students per session. Courses run on both weekdays and weekends so you can train around existing work.

Start with the Adex Detailing Pro Course, a two-week program built for people coming in with no background in detailing. Week one covers safe washing, decontamination, paint depth gauging, machine polishing and paint correction, and week two moves on to ceramic coating application, interior protection, customer quoting and business setup. It is priced from $5,000+ per person and finishes with a certificate of completion.

The Skills Upgrade Course starts from $2,000+ per person, the two-week Adex Detailing Pro Course from $5,000+ per person, and the two-week PPF Installation Training from $6,000+ per person. Course fees include materials and use of professional equipment while you train. Get in touch to confirm availability and competitive pricing for your preferred dates.

No experience is needed for the Adex Detailing Pro Course or the PPF Installation Training, as both start from first principles. The Skills Upgrade Course is different: it is a 1–2 day intensive built for working detailers who want to sharpen either paint correction or ceramic coating technique. If you are not sure which one suits you, call us in Tullamarine and we will point you to the right course.

Every Adex course is capped at four students per session. Small groups mean direct feedback from trainers who apply coatings and PPF on customer vehicles every day, plus far more hands-on time than a large classroom course.

Yes. Every Adex training course finishes with a certificate of completion. Graduates also receive post-course support, with direct access to our team for guidance as you start taking on your own work.
