DOG GROOMING COURSES
Find details on all of our courses
As a specialist dog groomer training centre we run courses throughout the year. Unlike some dog grooming trainers, where the student is restricted to just one course and specific content, we want to allow our students to leave with the most appropriate training for their future needs. Many of our students wish to go on to open their own grooming business (home, salon or mobile), whilst others wish to commence or improve their skills for their employment. Other of our students wish to be able to improve their styling skills for their existing business.

The Academy @ Fir Tree is a professional, dog grooming training centre and so we are able to be quite flexible in accommodating each student’s needs. Our experienced, trained and qualified teaching staff will be able to accommodate any requirements that you may have. As a dedicated training school we do not have the restrictions of a commercial dog grooming salon, where customers expect their dogs to be groomed by professional groomers and expect professional results at every appointment – often restricting the hands-on teaching experience needed by students. All of our dogs come into us as grooming models, for the purpose of teaching students and are groomed by our students under our professional guidance – where we regularly achieve better results than many ‘professional’ salons out on the High Street.
Please feel free to discuss your requirements from your course with us, as we can often give advice or even customise some elements of the course content to ensure you receive the richest learning experience possible.
