⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you Stephanie for creating such a wonderful program, and being so inclusive and interactive with all of your students - the world needs MORE of this ethos (I'm still on Unit 1 currently as I'm powering away with research but its proving SO valuable to my doggy clients!!)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m only on unit 5 out of 10 in the academy, but I’ve already learned so much, this is such a fantastic course!!! After implementing some of the methods I’ve learned, I’ve seen an improvement in the dogs behaviour and I think they are much calmer during the grooms, this course is definitely a must for any groomer that truly cares about dogs and their mental wellbeing.

FAQs
What is the structure of the courses?
The Holistic Grooming and Behaviour Diploma is an advanced, online course. It consists of 13 modules covering a range of topics designed to help the professional dog groomer achieve low-stress grooming results.
What qualification do I get at the end of the course?
The Holistic Grooming & Behaviour Diploma is a multi-accredited, CPD Course approved by iPET, UK Rural Skills and The Complementary Medical Association. Upon completion, students receive certification status with the HGA, which includes 320 CPD points.
What do I need to have at home to complete the courses?
Students will need access to the internet, a word processing software (word processor, pages, google documents etc.), an e-mail account, and a recording device such as mobile phone. The student should feel confident working online, operating computers, writing/typing essays, referencing, researching and expressing personal opinion though our tutors are there to help support learners as per their individual learning style.
Will the course become a qualification at any point?
We hope so. The Holistic Grooming Academy is working hard behind the scenes to repurpose our Diploma into a practical qualification for all training centres to embrace. There will however be strict prerequisites for training centres wishing to add the forthcoming qualification version of the diploma to their repertoire of courses. More on this coming soon!
Is the Accredited Holistic Diploma Recognised and Respected in the pet professional sector?
Our organisation is supported by various leading experts and organisations including, Dogs Trust; British Isles Grooming Association; Pet Professional Network; The Dog Welfare Alliance, Do No Harm Dog Training Community, Welfare for Animals; Dr Marc Bekoff; Dr Isla Fishburn; Linda Michaels; Freya Locke; Ruby Leslie; Helen Motteram; Andrew Hale and many more.
I still have questions, where can I get help?
If you are still looking to find out more information about The Holistic Grooming Academy, please contact the team directly via e-mail to '[email protected]'. Alternatively, you can contact us via our Social Media Platforms anytime and a member of staff will get back to you within 3-working days.
What do I need to do to pass the Accredited Holistic Grooming Diploma?
The Holistic Grooming & Behaviour Diploma is made up of thirteen specialised modules and one bonus module. Each module has a series of practical tasks and multiple choice questions to complete before the student can move on to the next module. Tasks involve a range of recorded demonstrations and theory-based research.
Once all modules have been completed, the student is required to take part in a more advanced 'final grading assessment' - to obtain graduation status, the student must successfully demonstrate all learning outcomes within a 24-month period and submit their study hour log.
Can I save money by opting out of the student pack?
No - the student pack is included in the price of the course as a thank you for investing in the Holistic Grooming Academy - all UK students receive their course books via post upon enrolling on the course. International students receive free digital copies of the textbooks where postage is more expensive than the worth of the books, and/or postage is restricted.
What if I dislike the course and want a refund?
Both our diploma and our membership have an instant 14-day cool off period as per our Terms and Conditions Policy.
If you request a refund during this time, we will process your request minus any charges (please read our T&Cs for more information on possible charges).
Please e-mail us: [email protected] so that we can arrange payment with you directly.
Why do I need to be training or a professional and/or qualified groomer?
Since this is an enhancer/CPD course for professional groomers it is important that students have obtained official grooming training either in a training centre or as part of an apprenticeship/shadowing program. We do not require a prospective student to be officially "qualified", The Holistic Grooming Academy will also consider accepting professional groomers with relevant work experience grooming dogs and/or running their own grooming business.
Prospective students must be able to provide evidence of training and/or experience and have Professional references to support upon request. We also require students to have relevant insurances in place, alongside an up-to-date Pet First Aid Qualification. Note: we may accept an application on the basis that the student obtains all of the above before completing the diploma.
If you have any concerns, please contact us: [email protected].
Are all courses only in English?
Yes - prospective students should be fluent in English to get the most out of this course. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
