OPEN COLLEGE NETWORK WEST MIDLANDS LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN DOG GROOMING
​25 Days Incuding CANINE FIRST AID TRAINING 
​

OPEN COLLEGE NETWORK WEST MIDLANDS LEVEL 3 DIPLOMA IN DOG GROOMING - 
K9 Boutique Academy Dog grooming courses are full time courses, run from our salon in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. The courses run for 25 days and cover more than just the basics. Our courses are limited to one student at a time so you will have maximum tutor time. The courses include practical, and theory, demonstrations and daily hands on grooming. You will also attend a 1 day first aid course The final 5 days of your course will be held at our High street salon, where you will be gaining valuable skills by shadowing an experienced groomer in day to day activities such as; customer interactions, the running and managing of a salon and helping with various grooming tasks. This will help to put into practice all that you have learnt throughout your course with us. We feel that this is an important transition between completing your course and starting your new career as a dog groomer.
Your course will take you through everything you need to know, from the basics of prep work and simple trims, all the way to running your own business and grooming to breed standard.
 We are very passionate about the welfare of the dogs; therefore we have a strong focus on correct handling which will benefit you no end when it comes to grooming on your own.
On successful completion of the 25 day course, you will gain an Open College Network Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming. This is a nationally recognised industry qualification, which is part of the National Qualification Framework and regulated by Ofqual.
25 days is considered the minimum amount of days to be a competent groomer, however I would recommend doing as many days as you can afford. Shorter courses can be arranged if you do not wish to gain the qualification, however it would be advisable to come back to do top up training.
The full course cost includes your OCN enrolment fee, an equipment pack worth over £500, canine first aid course, an informative course folder, Online Record of Experience to complete work for the qualification, and all of your tuition fees.
