Welcome to GroomArts Academy

Dog Grooming Training and Education Centre

    groomarts is an accredited Training and education centre designed to give you the skills and academic qualifications to succeed in life.

    We are the most successful Training and Education centre for pet styling professionals in the United Kingdom. We deliver the most commercially focused education that you can find and each year we help to create over 120 new businesses.

    Here is a tour around groomarts academy! 


    For many years the dog grooming industry has been subject to very low standards. There have been neither rules nor regulations, which has allowed anyone with a set of clippers and scissors to claim to be a commercial dog groomer.

    Even today there are online courses and books that claim to show you how to be a professional. We believe that this has to stop and a new standard must be firmly put in place. There are two significant points to consider; firstly, we believe our pets should be fairly treated and offered the best treatment that we can offer them and secondly we also believe that the industry needs a better approach to the education of pet stylists, so that they become respected for their depth of knowledge, for their excellent skills, for their attention to detail and their commercial prowess.

    We have an excellent track record of achieving this by creating a combination of the best facilities, the best teachers in the world, the best equipment, the best syllabus and the best commercially focused learning programme in the UK so that our students become not just better, but commercially professional.


    When you’re a groomarts student, we take you very seriously, because you will have decided to seize the moment, to want something better than average, to be as good as you can be and to be a commercial success. That’s why when you walk through the front door, you will automatically have our respect.

    To ensure your success we have assembled the best professional team to support you along your journey, including world renowned and award-winning stylists, accredited teachers, examiners and assessors.

    For those who have additional learning needs or if English is a second language, we have learning support staff to help read, write, allow more time. We ensure that you are treated fairly and equally to everyone and have the right to earn a professional qualification.

    Quite simply, we are here to ensure that you are a commercial success in your life. Isn’t it time that you took yourself seriously? We do!


    How we see the future
