The AIM Level 3 Qualifications Diploma in Dog Grooming is a portfolio based course / qualification. Students learn all necessary theory and practical knowledge that is required to work independently as a professional dog groomer without the need of taking exams at the end. Once the course is finished and the student portfolio completed, it is submitted for approval and certification. The portfolio contains practical and theory works of each student. The course builds up from 25 day practical salon training and 5 day home study. This course is popular with students with language difficulties and anxiety of exams. There are no pre-requisites to starting the qualification, meaning candidates can join at level 3 without having completed a lower level (level 2) course first.
