Well done Megan!

🎉🐾 A HUGE WELL DONE TO MEGAN! 🐾🎉

Congratulations to Megan on completing her Level 2 Certificate for Dog Grooming Assistants on our Fast Track programme! ✂️🐶

Megan absolutely smashed her practical assessments and theory exam, completing the qualification in just 4 days and achieving an amazing DISTINCTION! 🏆✨

Her previous grooming experience meant she was able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to fast track through the qualification.

🍒 Already working as a dog groomer or grooming assistant but don’t yet have a qualification?

If you’ve already got the experience and would like that cherry on the cake of a recognised qualification, get in touch for details of our Fast Track Dog Grooming courses!

🐾 WORK EXPERIENCE & APPRENTICESHIPS 🐾

We just wanted to pop a quick post up as we’ve been inundated recently with messages, tags and enquiries regarding work experience and apprenticeships.
Firstly, we really do appreciate everyone thinking of us and recommending Classic Canines and our Academy! ❤️
However, we unfortunately do not offer work experience placements to students who are not training through our own Dog Grooming Training Academy. Our work experience spaces are reserved exclusively for Classic Canines Academy students as part of their training with us.
We also do not offer apprenticeships. For anyone interested in becoming a qualified dog groomer, we offer our City and Guilds Level 2 and Level 3 Dog Grooming courses through our Training Academy.
Thank you so much for understanding, and for continuing to recommend and support us. 🐶✂️
