Hand outs will be distributed during the course so that you can compile your own manual. There is also a number of videos and grooming books that you will be viewing.

Working / training at Hair off the dog II is ideal, you will have "hands on" experience in dealing with the public, working on live "Dog" models alongside your trainer. The training centre is a working salon so you will gain a real sense of a "true working enviroment"!.

Do wear comfortable clothes & a flat pair of shoes. Remember you are in sunny Spain not the cloudy UK. Also it is important for you to bring a camera so you can photograph the dogs through their different stages of grooming and clipping.

ALWAYS REMEMBER - when you finish the course and set up on your own Rachel will only be a phone call away, so any initial problems Rachel can help you through them. You will be learning and training at a good pace - there will be a lot to take in however Rachels training methods really work so you will not feel pressurized or stressed - The salon is modern, airy and is a real happy enviroment to learn and train in.

Certificate /Diploma

A diploma will be presented to you on completion of your course. This can then be presented to any future Salon / Veterinary Practice showing all you have attained during your training, or it can just be framed and used in your own Salon!!

The diploma will state all the topics you have covered, breed recognition, trimming styles and techniques used.
