My stepdad decided to learn PDR, he had to go to a school to do so. He already had 20 years in collision repair, and thought that this would be a good add on. You can make a hell of a lot of money doing this. I think the school was about $10k, but if I recall that included the tools, took about a week to ten days. A full set of tools is about $3k. Do yourself a favor, go to one of the schools, write the cost off as a business expense, and just work for yourself. Every customer is practice, and do some freebies for friends and family. Good luck.

Answer so far looks good but I was not aware of Dry ice used this way, you have to be very care full, dry ice can make you loose your fingers. I do not command this method.
Maco was advertising, in some locations, this method of removing the dents, but this method is not suitable for all types of dents. If the paint is not continuous i.e. not chipped or cracked, the paint less method could be tried.
People do use plunger, magnet,...... to suck/pull the dent out. If you can get behind the dent you may be able to puss it out with only gentle thumb pressure. In side the truck of the car a air bag is deployed by the body shop to pop the dent in some cases.......
It depends on the dent. The method depends on the ingenuity of the repair person. There may be books on it, try Internet also.

just get some dry ice and a salad grabber. grab the dry ice and hold it to the dent. it will shrink the metal by super cooling it and the dent will pull out, without adding any damage or scrapes.
