Valeting Training

Since 1979, we’ve created products that clean vehicles more quickly, effectively and efficiently. With over 300 different products to choose from, it’s essential to follow the best practice. Therefore Autosmart valeting training offers a range of courses, designed to provide the valeter with the appropriate knowledge and abilities to maximise performance in the work place, through efficient practices and improved standards.

What’s more Autosmart has run valeting training courses for over 30 years. Furthermore, our courses are delivered by an industry professional at the Autosmart approved training centre in Lichfield.

Each course contains a combination of theory and practical experience and on successful completion of a practical assessment, in addition participants are given a certificate of competence.

Autosmart – we’ve got it covered.

Our products are manufactured in-house by an enthusiastic team of chemists and specialist experts. Our customers include car dealerships, valeters, hauliers, vehicle rental companies, bodyshops, agricultural dealers, coach and bus operators, plant hire and construction and food processors. No other company has such capacity and expertise. For instance, we currently clean over 50% of the UK’s new cars. By leading the way in the sector, we have unique knowledge and expertise of specialist cleaning chemicals and processes.
