The courses will support their skills in a range of areas such as Health and Safety, Welfare for both people and animals and Customer Service.

 It is vital that Dog Groomers stay up to date with both industry and legislative standards to raise and maintain best practice. With on-going consultations for licensing the Dog Grooming industry, it is important that support and education is provided for business owners. The course will help equip them to prepare for the standards that will be expected in relation to Health and Safety, Welfare, Organisational policies and processes etc.

 We are continuing to work with iPET Network and The Groomers Spotlight to develop and promote courses that are current and up to date. To find out more visit the iPET Network website https://www.ipetnetwork.co.uk/courses/online-courses/
