We have partnered with iPet to deliver their Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management. This is an Ofqual regulated qualification and the equivalent to City & Guilds or OCN.
We selected iPet as we believe this is the most comprehensive and up to date qualification available. They focus on practical ability over written assessments, and provide access to very user friendly online portal for all theory work.
The qualification is designed for students who wish to gain the skills and knowledge to prepare, style and finish a range of dog breeds, understand health and safety in a dog grooming salon, practice business management and gain skills in canine emergency first aid. The qualification consists of both practical and theory work.
