I found Mike's information on the internet, and gave him a call. After talking to me for about 2 hours, I knew that Mike knew what he was talking about. I went to Mike's school... Chris Reno, NV Read More of this and Other Testimonials!!!!!   We offer the following courses:             Basic dents, creases, and sales techniques Advanced large, severe damage Basic hail repair Advanced Ride-Along Assistance The basic, and some advanced courses, are conducted at our facility, with occasional guest trainers to offer other perspectives and evaluations. We offer ride-along programs either here in St. Louis, or anywhere in the country. We will come to you for Advanced Ride-Along. For those of you who are not familiar with the Paintless Dent Repair industry, I strongly recommend you do a lot of research, and talk with existing Dent Repair Professionals before deciding what type of training is best for you. Most technicians who come for training were referred by a friend or relative who cannot dedicate the time for proper instruction to get them started. You will need lots of help your first year working as an apprentice for an experienced Route or Hail Technician. We focus on you specific needs.  We constantly monitor your progress and spend more effort in your weaker areas. Your success is our goal, but if at anytime you decide to terminate training for any reason, the tuition fee will be pro-rated for time spent. Our Process: Lets face it, no one is going to learn everything about Paintless Dent Repair in four weeks, let alone some other one or two week courses.  But we can give you a good basic foundation on which to build. Some companies teach inaccurate pushes to begin lifting the dent, called “roughing it up”, then go back and clean it up later.  With our process, each push is calculated and precise.  Leaving no wasted effort, so the dent comes up clean the first time. We continually strive to provide quality training at reasonable prices. Tuition Fees: Tuition fee is $2,800 per week for any of the four programs we offer. Weekend Seminars are available. A note from MIKE SEWALD, owner, and primary Instructor: Hello, and thanks for visiting our website. Hopefully you will find some helpful information to put you on the road to joining our industry. We have a huge network of Technicians in almost every State in the U.S., Canada, and some in Europe. So if you're looking for the best, and most comprehensive training in the industry, please give me a call. Thanks! Michael Sewald, Gateway Dent, LLC (314) 775-9904
