Dog Grooming Level 3 and 4 Course

Get two certificates in one with the Dog Grooming Level 3 and 4 Course, combining the Dog Grooming Course and the Dog Grooming Advanced Course into a single, cost-effective bundle.

This bundle takes you from Level 3 knowledge through to Level 4. You’ll start with the craft in working order, preparation, bathing, drying, trimming, the detail work of teeth, ears and eyes, control and restraint, breed styling and wellbeing, then progress to the professional level: body structure and health issues, inspection-grade standards, styling as a discipline, record keeping, and the business of expanding, marketing and keeping clients.

Ideal for anyone who wants the complete grooming knowledge path in one enrolment, this bundle covers craft and business alike, plus two CPD certificates, one for each level.

• The Craft in Order — Master preparation, bathing, drying, trimming and the detail work.
• Style Across Breeds — Understand control, restraint and styling for a variety of breeds.
• Professional Standards — Learn body structure, inspections, parasites and advanced styling.
