iPet Network Level 3 Award in an Introduction to Dog Grooming
Dip your toe into a career in dog grooming with the iPET Network Level 3 Award in an Introduction to Dog Grooming. Over 5 days you will be introduced to professional dog grooming techniques and learn the skills to safely prepare, style and finish a number of different dog breeds. This course is the first step towards learning all about dog grooming and an introduction to some of the more simple styles, giving you solid foundations to kickstart your new career as a dog groomer. It is ideal for students who have little knowledge of dogs but who are interested in working as a dog groomer assistant or stylist in the future.
About this course
Candidates will groom at least 3 dogs to include a minimum of 2 different breeds, covering 2 different coat types. Candidates will be trained in practical skills such as prepping, bathing, scissoring, clipping, styling and nail trimming on several dog breeds focusing on:
- Coat preparation
- Planning dog grooming styles
- Health checks and canine behaviour
- Bathing and drying
- Clipping
- Maintaining equipment
There are no pre-requisites to starting the qualification, meaning candidates can join at level 3 without having completed a lower level (level 2) course first.
Units included within this qualification are:
- 301: Health and Safety in a Dog Grooming Environment
- 318: Prepare, Style and Finish Several Dog Breeds
Uniquely with iPet Network candidates are continually assessed via practical demonstration and coursework. There is no requirement to sit a formal exam in order to achieve the qualification. This holistic approach has been welcomed by Students from across the UK, Ireland and Internationally. iPET Network designed the qualification to have an excellent balance of theoretical and practical learning. Feedback suggests that this qualification takes the pressure out of adult learning and this approach appeals to a wide range of Candidates. Students will be dealing directly with the course provider and will not be a BCCS Student. We offer this course as a third party provider.
The iPET Network Level 3 Award in an Introduction to Dog Grooming will demonstrate to an employer or the general public that Candidates have a basic understanding of dog grooming principles. Candidates will leave with a basic knowledge base to continue learning or working in the Dog Grooming Industry. It has been designed specifically for those looking to start the journey into Dog Grooming or those who already groom dogs (as a hobby) but would like to gain a nationally recognised qualification.
