| Our courses are tailored very much to meet
individual needs and are geared to your own learning speed and
requirements,
catering for the complete beginner to the more experienced groomer.
All tuition is to C&G standards. |
| Training provided is intensive, with a great deal
of time being spent on practical work. Training can be taken in
stages rather than as a one-off course should that be required. |
|
Practical Training |
| During your practical training you are provided
with 'model dogs' to work on. The range of breeds used will be as
wide as possible with you being responsible for the grooming and
trimming of these dogs from start to finish. |
| You will also learn how to deal with various coat
types, basic health and safety aspects i.e. cleaning and removing
hair from ears, claw clipping, expressing anal glands, dog
handling and controlling etc. |
| Demonstrations and supervision are provided
throughout this time by your tutors. |
|
Theory |
| This is covered in a manual, which is yours to
take home, test papers, projects and videos. Subjects covered
include setting up and running a grooming business, record
keeping, customer relations, health and hygiene. We recommend that
you study the manual during your stay where we are available to
offer support and advice. |
|
Back Up Service |
|
We offer a full back-up service to all of our ex-students should
they need help after they have completed their training. We are
always available to offer help and advice over the telephone or by
email should this be required. |
|
Diploma |
| On completion of your course you are issued with
a Diploma certificate. Graded Certificates
Students reaching the required standard will be awarded a graded
certificate.

Assessments

course and will be provided with a daily assessment sheet on the
work they have carried out.
