Intensive dog grooming courses: Give your dog grooming skills the recognition they deserve!

If you’re an experienced dog groomer without a formal qualification, have you considered gaining official recognition of your skills and experience by undertaking an intensive version of the City & Guilds dog grooming qualifications?

What’s more – the programmes primarily run in the evenings, making it easy to get formally qualified around a busy schedule! Read on to find out more…
