What You'll Learn
& Experience

Platinum is our best-selling and most popular course - the only course you'll ever need, taking you from zero experience through to employment or running your own grooming business. It brings together our Academy Diploma and AIM Level 3 Dog Grooming Qualification, alongside a full year of personal, one-to-one mentoring - a genuinely bespoke level of ongoing support you won't find anywhere else in the industry.

You'll begin with 25 days of intensive, immersive hands-on training inside our multi-award-winning salon, working with a genuinely wide range of dogs, coat types and techniques at a pace that builds real speed, confidence and independence, rather than simply covering the basics. Your AIM Level 3 Dog Grooming Qualification is completed as part of the same programme, with our continued guidance and support throughout, right the way to certification.

Throughout it all, you're training within a live, professional environment, alongside real clients and real dogs, learning exactly how a successful, high-standard salon operates - from consultation and coat assessment through to handling, grooming, finishing and managing client expectations at the highest level.

Key Skills You'll Master:
  • Confident handling of a wide variety of breeds, coats, temperaments and behaviours
  • Advanced grooming and styling, including breed styling, pet trims and scissoring to a professional standard
  • Precision clipping, coat preparation and finishing techniques
  • Creating teddy-bear and other sought-after modern styles
  • Managing consultations, coat assessments and client expectations
  • Handling a groom that doesn't go to plan, with genuine composure
Your Programme Includes:
  • Extensive training across a genuinely wide variety of breeds and coat types
  • In-depth business and career guidance, including pricing, standards and building a sustainable, premium career
  • Immersive, real-world experience in a multi-award-winning professional salon
