Professional dog grooming qualifications

Training courses.

Live learning, real dogs and a recognised qualification — taught one-to-one in our Hucknall salon.

All our iPET Network qualifications are recognised and regulated by Ofqual (the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation).

Our training courses suit everyone — from a complete beginner who has never bathed a dog, through to working groomers wanting to improve their current qualifications, skills or knowledge.

Why train with us

Real dogs, every day

You're learning in a working salon, on customer dogs of every coat type and temperament. No mannequins.
