Well structured grooming courses must cover a vast amount of new skills – and some necessary theory and knowledge of common animal health problems.

For those who wish to add qualifications to their training course we can offer you a choice of AIM (Formerly OCN – Open College Network West Midlands) recognised qualifications.

For those who wish to train to groom commercially now – and think about qualifications later – we have our long standing and ever popular Groom For a Living course which ticks all of the boxes to get you up and running in your own business – or perhaps renting a table in an established salon.

After 24 years in the industry – 16 years of training courses – and now an AIM (formerly Open College Network West Midlands) approved training centre – we are the leading training centre in East Anglia.
