City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming

This full time course is designed for those that already have a grounding in working with dogs and are looking to deliver grooming to a professional standard. This is a nationally recognised benchmark of attainment.

This is a very intensive programme to deliver the best commercial results, so you must be over 18, be commercially focused and determined to succeed. This replaces the 7763-03 Certificate/Diploma for Introductory Dog Grooming. You must have already achieved your 7763-02 Level 2 Certificate for Dog Grooming Assistants to be able to register for this course.

The course structure is now based on a holistic approach, where you are assessed through a synoptic assignment during the course. This looks to combine all of your knowledge learnt during the course through both the practical skills and also the theory, which is taught both on site and through e-learning. You are assessed on your practical skills, ensuring that you can maintain the health and safety of the animals and staff, plus also produce a fantastic groom and show the basics of understanding how a salon can be run. In addition to the synoptic assignment, you have one written assessment that will occur at two points during the year, allowing you to achieve your City and Guilds level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming.
