About the Academy

Raising the standard of grooming in Wales.

We are a City & Guilds approved grooming school offering both formal qualifications and private tailor-made training. With a huge passion for improving grooming standards and the industry across Wales, we strive to offer the very highest quality of teaching, equipment and environment.

Our academy is more than a classroom. It's a commercial, international multi award-winning salon — the Grooming Business of the Year 2020 — and that means you're training on the same tables and with the same clients that keep us at the top of the industry.

Every student's course is shaped around them. Whether you're a complete beginner or already grooming and looking for a recognised qualification, we build a programme that gets you where you need to be.

What we stand for

Four commitments.

01

Craft first

Grooming is a craft. Every hour of training here is spent building real technique on real coats.

02

Small groups

Intimate teaching means every student gets the tutor's undivided attention when it matters.

03

Working salon

You learn in a live commercial salon, not a mock classroom. The real world of grooming from day one.

04

Welfare always

The dog or cat on the table is always the priority. Welfare-first practice underpins everything we teach.
