AIM/OCN Diploma in Dog Grooming
Fully Qualified Groomers and Fully Qualified Teachers
All of the teaching team at the dog grooming school have the highest dog grooming qualifications, with many years experience, and each tutor is a qualified teacher or undergoing a mentor programme to become qualified to teach. Therefore, each person assisting with courses possess the skills that will meet your needs as a learner.
We believe that our courses offer the best value for money that it is possible to give. Our dog grooming students are trained to trim and style dogs and not, as we see far too often today, to simply sheep shear off the coat and leave every breed of dog looking the same as the next!
Our teaching students are taught to empathise with the individual and to recognise and learners needs. Giving the future teachers the basic skill primarily to deliver amazing learning experiences that can be passed on to their future classroom.
Creative fusion
We quite often like to adopt breed style as we know the styles are important to the dog for many reasons, so we adopt this important breed specific style and adapt it to cutsie pie it up a little. These are the tricks that our friend, Jin, demonstrates to us when she is in town.
