The best part comes at the end — where you learn the business side that makes this a career instead of a job.

How Do I Know This Will Be For Me?

We understand that training for a new career while maintaining your current job is probably something you are worried about. HM Dent Academy has funding programs to help you through this challenge.


Do you question if you are smart enough to do PDR because you didn't excel in high school?


Did you get bored easily in school? Want to know a secret? Our founder and owner wasn’t great at school either. Jeramey wanted to be playing sports or skateboarding and despised school work.


He was a C student but loved working with his hands. He was street smart and common sense smart and now he is business smart. He knew trade school was the best choice for him, too! 


Our HM Method is different because we prepare you for what PDR really is about. Other schools give you week by week training. They let you pick and choose. They charge you a ton and leave you with very little skills learned. 


Our goal in creating HM Dent Works Academy is to create dent professionals that understand not only the art of pushing dents but the art of a life in PDR. 



We help you navigate a family life in PDR. Finances in PDR. Dealing with insurance companies and body shops. How to work at a hail storm and so much more. We aren’t here to push another graduate out the door, say CHEESE and snap a pic, and move on. 


We want to have successful and profitable graduates that we never lose touch with. We mean it when we say we want to create the next generation of Master PDR techs.
