Concord School of Grooming offers specialized training classes and hands on experience in all breed grooming. You will also learn how to use and maintain the equipment required for grooming pets. The classes begin the first Monday of each month. Required attendance is Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm. The course is 12 weeks and designed for the individual desiring to become a master professional groomer. There is a 4/8 week option for those who have limited funds and time. You may attend 4 weeks basic and return later for the additional 8 weeks required to complete the certification training.
Classes are limited to number of enrollees to insure good training techniques, and to insure that you will receive personal attention in your training.
The
program includes a thorough background in the fundamentals of basic grooming
skills such as brush-outs, nail trimming, ear care, bathing, fluff drying, and
scissor finish. Safety features are also taught to insure both the safety and
welfare of the individual and the pet. The cost is $6500.00 for the training
period which includes the cost of tuition, grooming tools, manuals and grooming
smock.
If
an enrollee selects the 4/8 option the cost is $2900.00 for the first four
weeks, and the balance of $3600.00 would be due at the beginning of the eight
week session. There would be a $100.00 service fee at the beginning of the eight
week session. If payment is further divided by monthly payments, a $100.00
service fee is assessed at the beginning of each month after the first month of
enrollment.
Although job placement cannot be guaranteed, Susan can also offer assistance in job placements. Some groomers prefer to work for someone else, where some prefer to open and establish their own shops. The choice is an individual decision, but Susan attempts to guide anyone who shows a great love of dogs and desires to learn the art of dog grooming.
