If I am not interested in changing careers?

Absolutely. Perhaps you’d like to learn how to groom your own dogs or your friends’ dogs, or maybe you’re just looking to expand your knowledge. Whatever your reason, your dog groomer training will be very useful to you even if you do not wish to work in the grooming industry.

Many people take the grooming courses to work their way through college, then only to find that they enjoy it so much they open their own business and stay in the field.

What is certificate verses diploma?

The regulations of the Commission of Higher Education limit the awarding of diplomas for programs that include general education of a total of at least 120 clock hours in math, english, and psychology. Schools that offer programs of 20 to 600 hours of training, and do not include general education components, are limited to awarding Certificates of Completion. That makes Groomadog Academy a Certificate course. Yes, you will be a certified professional groomer. We are a licensed school. Anyone can generate a certificate in their computer and give you a certificate, but who licensed them to license you???

What are your credentials and can I see them?
