Dog Grooming (Beginners)

Welcome to the fascinating world of dog grooming. On this 10 week course you will experience the basics to practical dog grooming, with emphasis on correct handling, bathing, drying methods, nail care, ear care, basic scissoring and basic clipping techniques. All this in a working salon with emphasis on a pleasant, safe working environment, where responsible handling and customer care are vital.

The course focuses on introducing the range of beginning practical experience and skills on dogs including bathing, drying, basic scissoring and basic clipping. Tuition also covers an introduction to anatomy, diseases, parasitology and a sound grounding in health & safety. This course does not cover the clipping and styling in detail, this course is designed purely as the first stage of dog grooming and is essential for those students who have no proven industry experience.

This course is designed for beginners or those with limited or no previous experience. This course is designed for committed grooming trainees who wish to advance their skills to a suitable level for seeking employment or self-employment within the industry.

Tuition is largely practically based and takes place in our grooming enterprise within the Campus. Supporting retail, reception areas and an attractive easily accessible campus with excellent student resources, create an enjoyable learning environment.
