45 Day All-Inclusive Dog Grooming Course

Service Description

Course code: S2F45Inclusive Duration: 270 – 350+ hours over 45 days Full time course Included in this course is tuition in hand stripping, provided we have suitable dogs in-salon. This is a specialised skill which, unfortunately, is also becoming a rarity in many grooming salons. You will gain experience in how to identify the breed and coat type which will benefit from being hand-stripped rather than clipped, and you will have the opportunity to learn and perfect this simple technique. You will gain experience in client relations and receive a work file, which will assist you in getting your own business up and running. Dog grooming is a specialised industry which has different needs when considering such things as insurance, advertising, location, equipment etc. We add homework assignments to our daily work, which help the students work towards achieving great exam results. This is an intensive course, especially on the practical-training side.
