Find the course that suits you
We offer a range of OFQUAL regulated courses and qualifications. For beginners with little to no experience, we recommend the ‘Skills and Education Awards Level 3’ courses. Students can choose between a 5- or 15-day introductory course to the industry.
For those looking to start their own business or work independently, our 35-day Diploma course is ideal. It covers everything you need to know, from basic prep and simple trims to grooming to breed standards and managing a successful business.
Our 35-day courses include an equipment pack valued at £320.
Our payment plans
Choosing the right school is a big decision, and we understand that learning a new skill can be a financial investment. To help, we offer a payment plan to make getting started easier. A non-refundable 20% booking fee is required to secure your course dates.
The remaining balance can be split into five smaller payments, spread throughout your course. For example, with the Level 3 Diploma 35-day course, payments will be due on the 1st, 6th, 12th, 18th, and 24th days of your course. If you attend one day a week, each payment will be due every six weeks. The payment plan includes a £250 admin fee.
Meet our graduates
“Kelly's knowledge on dog grooming is second to none and her true empathy and handling of dogs is nothing short of outstanding. She taught with passion and real dedication, whilst her teaching manner not only put me at ease but also she instilled the "want" to gain as much knowledge as possible to enhance my own professional development as a dog groomer. It is a real skill to not only have her level of knowledge and gift as a groomer but the passion she instills into her students is a true gift. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to train as a Dog Groomer. She truly is an amazing lady.” - Sharon
As I suffer from social anxiety disorder, I tend to go in on myself and get easily confused, I was getting so frustrated with myself as I couldn’t understand where I was going wrong. Kelly was able to keep me calm and explain techniques in a way that was easy for me to understand, show me where I was going wrong and how to improve, making our time together a very positive experience. I can’t recommend her enough and am super excited for the future of my grooming business. I really feel I can go to Kelly with any questions I have or when I’m in need of advice. Really looking for forward to attending your seminars and doing some more top up training in the future“
