Tuition

This course is perfect for those who prefer a more holistic assessment process and for those who feel uncomfortable with timed exams.

This course uses a portfolio to document assignment work and evidence of practical skills.

This nationally recognised qualification encourages skills necessary when grooming dogs with different types of coat. Learners will learn how to use a variety of equipment and increase their knowledge of grooming styles.

Learners will gain knowledge of canine first aid and have an understanding of the health and wellbeing of different breeds of dog and will have an opportunity to gain competence in the Dog Grooming workplace.

Unlike many courses, we start practical training from day one of your course, so you can start gaining confidence with the different tools and handling dogs straight away.

We have a great online revision source available to all our learners, to make completing theory based work a breeze.

This qualification has been designed for those looking to become professional dog groomers or those who already groom dogs but do not currently hold a nationally recognised qualification.

No previous experience or level 2 qualification is required to enrol for this course. Here at Just 4 Paws, we include training for all techniques, including Hand stripping. This is an important salon technique and is not required as standard for the SEG.

I travelled 8,000 Miles in 8 weeks to and from central Scotland to train with Amy. I had researched a lot of grooming schools and couldn’t find anyone with the expertise, knowledge and passion that Amy has. Every day was different. Every breed was different. One day you are clipping next day handstripping.

I learnt so much from Amy. She gave me the confidence that I needed to become a successful groomer. I now have my own salon employing a bather after only being open for a year.

Louise Higgins

I achieved my Dog Grooming AIM qualification in January 2024 at Just for Paws dog grooming training school and salon. The excellent teaching and guidance from Amy Manser meant I successfully passed. Amy not only helped me achieve my dream but gave me the confidence to have start and run my own dog grooming business.

Even though I have finished the course Amy has continued to support me with always being available to answer any queries and any problems while I continue to learn on the job. Amy's passion comes through in her knowledge and experience. With dedication to her salon, her students and the dogs in her care.

I have and will continue to recommend the training with Amy at Just 4 Paws. The fully equipped and organised learning environment provided ensures the you fully benefit from the training and is all you need to be competent in any future involvement with our canine friends.
