I had a invite and I don't know the ceo. I think its more for company's who use meg's and buy products from them.

TL;DR
I'd personally think it was an achievement if a company and approached you for a professional course.

are you wanting to become certified? theres plenty of stuff on the net and detailing forums. if you fancy going old skool try the yellow pages and look in the valeting section to see if there are courses.

Look on detailing world, there's a few guys dotted round the country that do day 'classes' on stuff like DA/rotary polishing etc.
Lets you get hands on and learn the proper way

The best training you can do tbh is practice, grab a few scrap panels from a scrap yard and have a play....see what happens and if you have any questions ask on here.
Watch videos of how to hold and operate machine on youtube and detailing websites.
Good luck.
