"TRAIN WITH THE BEST"
We are the only independent school in Essex offering nationally recognised qualifications. We have to follow strict guidelines and offer structured courses. Our centre is audited yearly and all health & safety procedures followed.
Why waste years at college or on an inferior course.
Our dog grooming courses run all year round and cater for students from Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, London, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.
We work with a limited number of trainees, Tuesday to Friday 9.00am - 4.00pm. You can attend all 4 days or 1, 2 or 3 days a week, and we work on a first come first served basis, so if the days are available then you can book them.
We believe in continually improving our skills so that we can pass our knowledge on to you, and we guarantee you will get the very best tuition.
We offer full support after the course so you will never feel alone, we have a Facebook trainee page where you can see short videos, pictures, diary of upcoming events. Trainees are encouraged to post pictures, some post their grooms, places of work and new businesses. But rest assured there is always someone there to offer support and guidance or just a friendly chat.
