Course Description

Do you want to turn your love of animal care into an exciting career?

If you’re a caring, composed dog lover and you’re ready for a fulfilling career working with and caring for animals, you can make a move and create the life you want. Our Dog Grooming course offers you the opportunity to learn new skills and can be an exciting entry point to a fun and rewarding career in the animal care industry.

Learn about each breed’s structure; topcoat, undercoat, coat texture and movement. Understanding what each dog is bred for and what it is supposed to look like is the key to any good groom, so you will build your knowledge of the “Breed Standard” as you progress through the modules.

We also don’t use thick academic textbooks. Instead, we design easy-to-follow student-friendly modules with exclusive movie-quality video sessions and tutorials, backed by 24/7 student support.

By the end of your study, you will be fully prepared to help provide both routine and emergency animal care in vet settings.
