Leather Care & Repair Training & Support

Leather Care & Repair provides professional one to one training to ensure you learn at a pace that suits you and you gain all of the knowledge required to start your own franchise and become a fully qualified leather technician.

Training is achieved in 3 simple steps.

Step 1 - We will come to you and show you all of the methods, working with real items related to the work we do. This will include all of the types of repairs that you may come across. To do this we will simply need a place to work but we don't need much room to do this so a garage or a spare room is sufficient. This takes place over 4 days.

Step 2 - At this stage you will have a complete kit and be left with items to practice on to get you used to and comfortable with leather and vinyl repairs, for a time suited to you. Usuallly this is a couple of weeks but if more time is needed this is not a problem.

Step 3 - We will then invite you down to work with us on the road to get you used to working in different environments or in our workshop to go over any areas that need more information. Again this takes place over 4 days and accomodation costs are included in the franchise.

Once you have completed the training and you are ready to start work, we will then be on hand to guide you through the initial enquiries, provide advice on anything you need or any questions you may have.
