Study at home to become a Pet Groomer!
If you want to be involved in Pet Grooming, perhaps as a job or as a hobby, our supported home learning Pet Grooming course provides the necessary underpinning knowledge, skills and qualification without disrupting your current lifestyle.
The DCA Home Learning Pet Grooming course is more flexible than most pet grooming training courses, providing a foundation in the basic skills needed to embark on a rewarding career as a Pet Groomer. Unlike traditional pet grooming training courses, the DCA supported self-study Pet Grooming course allows you to learn at your own pace. There are no classes to attend and you can fit your studies around your job or lifestyle.
With the DCA Home Learning Pet Grooming course, online study resources and a course advisor are available to guide you throughout the course, and your Student Service team is a Freephone call away. What's more, because the distance learning Pet Grooming course is comprehensive, no prior knowledge or skills are required. The DCA Pet Grooming course provides an entry level diploma as proof of your competence and skills.
If you'd like to work in Pet Grooming, training pet owners how to groom or simply offering a professional pet grooming service, then the DCA Home Learning study course is ideal for you. Once you complete the course we will send you a booklet on the basics of starting your own business with our compliments, free of charge.
