Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Start Your Own Grooming Round

Six of the ten courses are business: starting up, writing a business plan, budgets, finances, marketing, sales and customer service. Mobile grooming is a van, a kit and a client list, and this is how you build the last part.

Get Hired In A Salon Or Clinic

Salons, pet spas, vet clinics and pet stores hire on skill. You learn every coat type, safe handling and restraint, nails, ears, parasites and first aid.

Learn On Real Dogs, From A Master Groomer

Emily Myatt takes you through full grooms on a Shih Tzu cross, a Pomeranian, a Labradoodle and a Toy Poodle. You watch the whole job, start to finish.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Over 6 million dogs live in homes across Australia, and every one of them grows coat. The work is easy to picture: a van or a salon chair, a booked-out Saturday, and a dog going home looking like its breed again.

Mobile Grooming Business

In-home grooming on your own round. The business half of the bundle is built for exactly this.

Pet Grooming Business Owner

A salon of your own, with budgets, marketing, staff and customer service all covered in the course.

Dog Groomer At A Salon Or Spa

The employed route, where every coat type and safe handling are the daily skills.

Pet Groomer At A Veterinary Clinic

Grooming alongside clinical care, where first aid and parasite knowledge earn their keep.

Pet Stylist At A Pet Store

Store grooming rooms and styling services, often the easiest first door in.

Pet Sitter Or Dog Walker

A small business you can start around other work, with grooming as the upsell.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Running a business also means insurance, registration and local council requirements.

Why This One

What Makes It Different

Here is what stands out in this bundle.

01
Credit Toward Accredited Study

The bundle carries fifteen per cent credit (RPL) toward a nationally recognised Certificate III in Animal Care Services (Pet Grooming) through a partner training organisation. If you go on to accredited study, you start ahead.

02
The Grooming And The Business, Together

Ten courses in one enrolment: the grooming craft, pet care and animal health, then business management, administration and sales.

03
Breed Standard, Not Guesswork

Topcoat, undercoat, coat texture and movement, and what each breed was bred to look like. Knowing the breed standard is what separates a tidy dog from a proper groom.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Can I start a grooming business from this?

That is what the business half of the bundle is for: business plans, budgets, finances, marketing, sales and customer service, alongside the grooming itself. You will still need your own kit, insurance and local council checks. What the course gives you is the skill and the plan.

Can I learn grooming technique online?

The technique is taught by video: four full grooms on real dogs, filmed start to finish, plus handling, equipment and station setup. You practise on dogs yourself as you go. If you want supervised hands-on training with live dogs, look at an in-person course.

Do I need any experience?

None needed. The course starts with breeds, anatomy and coat types before any clipping.

How long does the course take?

Around 150 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline.

What does it cost each week?

The payment plan is from $15 a week. Enquire for the full payment options, including pay-in-four and upfront.

Is this course accredited?

It is CPD endorsed, and it carries fifteen per cent credit (RPL) toward a nationally recognised Certificate III in Animal Care Services (Pet Grooming) through a partner training organisation. The bundle itself is not a nationally recognised qualification, and you do not need one to work as a groomer. Your course advisor can confirm how the credit works.

Can I get my money back if it is not for me?

Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
