Service Description

This course is suitable for the complete novice; the option to complete the ICMG Salon Certification is available at an extra cost (please discuss with Natasha). This course will offer a wide range of dogs to groom including the ‘designer’ breeds. It will provide plenty of time to ensure scissor and clipping techniques are perfected on a variety of different dogs with different temperaments and specialist requirements. This course is a launch pad for students considering a career as a professional dog groomer or the existing groomer wanting to perfect a high end salon finish. The Grooming Academy (the Academy) have been grooming dogs for over 24 years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience and we love to share it. We are passionate about what we do and are proud of our reputation for high end grooming. In running courses through the Academy, we aim to pass on our passion, skills and presentation to all those we teach. Dog Grooming is a skill based profession and there is a lot to learn and develop. This course aims to provide you with the basic skills needed to groom dogs. Some students may learn the necessary skills quicker or slower than others and their development is all dependent on the student’s personal ability to understand what is being taught. Plenty of practice is required and the more students can practice in addition to this course the better. We understand everyone’s learning abilities and styles can vary so should we feel a student may need further training this will be discussed during and at the final stage of their course. A discount will be offered for a up to 12 months from the end of your course for further training days if these are required. Work experience, where possible, will be offered free of charge at the Academy. There is a limit of four students training at any time at the Academy. Students may be at different stages of their course.
