UK-Delivered Grooming Qualifications

Pet Grooming Qualification Pathways

The aim of BIGA is to support the professional pet grooming industry as a whole.

BIGA encourages training and qualification and therefore we want to let you know about the various qualification pathways to becoming a professional pet groomer.

Our advice is that you contact a BIGA training school that offers one of the qualifications listed below and talk to them about what is best for your purposes.

IMPORTANT - Qualifications can be achieved by taking a course and earning your qualification through your training centre. OR, if you're experienced and/or already trained, speak to a training provider about how to achieve the qualification without all the costs of training.
