I’m so very pleased I did the ICMG course in 2019 at Sue Oliver’s Dog Grooming Studio. My business has gone from strength to strength and I’m still enjoying every second. Overall, I liked the course because the lectures, assignments and tests were all straight forward and delivered in the correct format and in the right order for a learner.

The course was beneficial in helping me reach my chosen career, gave me a sense of accomplishment and also enhanced my self-confidence. I went on to win ‘Rising Star’ in the second year of starting my course and opening my business and also, very recently, awarded PDBUK 2023 Dog Grooming Winner! This in itself is much more than I ever anticipated and I would never have gained this without enrolling on the course.

I have some wonderful customers’ and most have been with me since I first started grooming. I’m fully booked and I have a waiting list too! A lot of my customers’ didn’t realise that not all dog groomers are trained or qualified, this made a great difference in the type of customers I’ve gained and most of all have retained.

The venue at Sue Oliver’s Dog Grooming is spot on, clean and very well-organised. There’s a lovely tea room for students which is well equipped with the necessities of making a brew and a fridge for your lunch. I used to love sitting on the back patio watching the horses in the field. All of this goes a long way to helping you enjoy more than just a dog grooming course! On top of all this, we had some fun/laughs in between learning – once I’d completed my course, I really did miss going for quite a while. Sue and her team are very approachable and willing to help you in any way they can during and afterwards. I could never have done this without you!
