What Our Students Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
What would happen if dog grooming became regulated?
Wales is the closest real-world reference point right now, because the Welsh Government has been developing a national model for animal welfare activities and has specifically noted that pet grooming is currently unregulated and would be considered as a later phase. Learn more
Based on how UK animal-activity licensing works elsewhere, regulation would most likely look like licensing plus demonstrable competence — not a sudden demand for one single “approved” qualification. In England’s statutory licensing guidance for animal activities, competence can be evidenced either by an Ofqual-regulated qualification or by relevant knowledge and experience, and where no accredited course exists, industry training evidence can be used. Learn more
That’s why long-running, practical training routes tend to hold up well: a track record, clear welfare standards, safe handling, and credible training history are exactly the kinds of things licensing frameworks look for. (As always, the exact details would depend on what the government introduces — but regulation rarely wipes out an entire established industry overnight.)
How often do your courses run?
Our courses run throughout the year with flexible start dates depending on the number of confirmed students.
Is there any written work?
We advise note taking where possible.
We provide you with an information sheet for each breed and you can make notes on these.
We can also check your notes so they are accurate.
What about course dates?
As with any form of learning, it is best to acquire the knowledge in weekly stints and as close together as possible. The problem with having large gaps between learning weeks is that you can forget information.
What time of day do you start and finish?
We begin at 10am and finish between 4pm and 5pm each day.
What are the payment options?
We understand this is an investment for our students, so we ask for a non-refundable deposit in the first instance.
You can then pay off the remaining balance in as many instalments as you wish.
The FULL balance must be paid completely 7 days before the course starts.
