Careers in dog grooming

Our dog grooming courses can support progression into roles such as dog groomer, dog grooming assistant, salon assistant, self-employed groomer, pet care assistant or animal care professional. They are also a practical route for learners researching how to become a dog groomer and for adults who want to turn an interest in dogs into a career.

Alisha's story

I had grown up with dogs all my life so I knew deep down this would be the perfect career choice, and I'm now having such a successful career in dog grooming years later. Our dog grooming courses develop professional grooming techniques, animal handling skills and industry knowledge, preparing you for a career in the dog grooming industry.
