This program is a culmination of the cooperative efforts of industry leaders specializing in the detailing industry.  The multi-phased program evaluates and develops a detailer’s technical knowledge and proficiency.  Successful completion of the first phase (Phase I), consisting of ten written exams, will grant the detailer the title of IDA Certified Detailer (CD).  Successful completion of a higher-level second phase (Phase II), consisting of hands-on assessments, will award the detailer a title of IDA Certified Detailer, Skills Validated (CD-SV).

The Watercraft (formerly Marine) Certification is the first specialty certification offered by the International Detailing Association.  The Watercraft Certification consists of 5 exams, 10 questions each, in these subject areas: 1) Interior & Vinyl Care; 2) Paint & Fiberglass; 3) Safety & Environmental; 4) Terminology; and 5) Wood Trim, Metal & Brightwork.  Those who achieve the status of IDA Certified Detailer – Watercraft Certified (CD, WC) have demonstrated expertise not only as an auto detailer, but also in the dedicated area of marine detailing.
