The Pet Industry Federation and the British Dog Groomers’ Association have developed a variety of dog grooming courses, for groomers at every level. Some of these are nationally accredited courses and are run in conjunction with City & Guilds. Important changes came into effect in November 2009, when the qualifications were moved over to the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) – the new framework for creating and accrediting qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Dog grooming is a rewarding career and a growing industry with more and more dog owners taking advantage of the services offered by grooming salons. If you are just coming into the industry and are looking to gain a qualification, there are three main routes becoming a dog groomer:

• Through a fee-paying course at a private Accredited Grooming Training Centre
• Through a Further Education College
• Learning the skills on-the-job working with an experienced qualified groomer.
