PRO-GROOMER :  Total 300 Hours

Pet’s Playground Grooming School is committed to teaching the highest level of quality grooming skills to students wishing to pursue a career as a professional groomer.  Our main objective within our 300 Hour Pet Grooming program is to help students learn all the essential elements to become a finished groomer and quickly begin a paid career working within a grooming shop or grooming facility environment.  Student upon request will also receive assistance in training for a career such as mobile grooming, working independently through a Vet, or opening a grooming shop.  We encourage a graduate to work in a grooming shop that has seasoned groomers at least in the beginning.  This will allow for hands-on experience while being paid, yet with back-up of other seasoned groomers.  We will assist however, any student wishing to start a solo career.  This will include ongoing phone support from our instructors during normal business hours.

 

 ASSISTANT GROOMER:  Total 150 Hours  

An Assistant Groomer is capable of doing all aspects of grooming critical to a groomer with the exception of finished work such as expert scissoring.  Skills include proper techniques in:  bathing, brushing, blow-out, de-matting, cleaning ears, clipping nails, expressing anal glands, rough stripping/finished stripping (cats & dogs), and pads/sanitary clean-up.  An assistant groomer is a welcome position in many grooming shops.  Assistant Groomer certificates will be issued upon completion and placement assistance is offered for this program upon graduation.

Should a student decide to continue on with the Pro-Groomer program, 100 credit hours of the 150 hours completed may be applied toward the Pro-Groomer program.  This leaves an additional 200 hours to be completed to become a finished groomer (300hours - 100hours = 200hours).  We are unable to accept all 150 hours as many specifics that are covered in the Pro-Groomer program will have been introduced by 100 hours into the 300 hour program.
