Course Overview

The qualification is designed for learners 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.

iPET Network are proud to have developed this NEW qualification in the Animal Care and Veterinary Science sector. Learners will groom at least 20 dogs to include a minimum of 10 different breeds, covering 6 different coat types but often many more.  There are no pre-requisites to starting the qualification, meaning learners can join at level 3 without having completed a lower level (level 2) course first which can be a huge cost saving to learners.

Learners will be trained in practical skills such as prepping, bathing, scissoring, clipping, styling and nail trimming on a variety of dog breeds.

Who supports this qualification?

The iPET Network Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and Salon Management will demonstrate to an employer or the general public that learners have the necessary technical skills and knowledge to successfully groom a range of dog breeds. This is a formal, regulated, nationally recognised qualification that will remain relevant throughout the Learners career and can only be achieved by reaching the required skill level. It has been designed specifically for those looking to become professional dog groomers or those who already groom dogs (as a hobby or career) but do not currently hold a nationally recognised qualification. This approach and elements are unique to our course syllabus making the qualification a more rounded and robust qualification.
