The British School of Grooming: State-of-the-Art Grooming Facilities for Students
At the British School of Grooming, we provide a dedicated, calm grooming area for students to practice and hone their skills. Our grooming environment is designed to be peaceful and conducive to learning, ensuring students can focus on perfecting their techniques.
Our modern bathing and drying areas feature the latest, top-quality equipment, giving students the tools they need to succeed in the industry. With attention to detail, we’ve created a facility that enhances both the learning experience and the comfort of the animals being groomed.
The school’s amenities include a fully-equipped kitchen and clean, accessible toilets for both students and pets. Our purpose-built facilities are designed to offer a positive and comfortable experience for both students and their furry clients.
The Training Area: Fully Equipped Workstations for Aspiring Groomers
Our dedicated training area at the British School of Grooming is equipped with individual student workstations, each offering access to a range of high-quality grooming tools. These include clippers, blades, scissors, brushes, combs, and a personal trolley for each student’s convenience.
Students also have access to a height-adjustable, stainless steel bath and high-velocity dryers, ensuring they can work with the latest equipment in the industry. Every workstation is fitted with an adjustable grooming table, complete with an ‘H’ Bar and industry-standard restraints, prioritising the safety and comfort of both students and dogs.
Student Kit: Essential Grooming Tools for L3 OCN Diploma & Certificate Students
As part of the course fee for students enrolling in our L3 AIM Diploma and Certificate programmes, each student receives a personal grooming kit. This kit includes essential items such as a tunic, towel, comb, and slicker brush to get started on your grooming journey.
While all other equipment is provided for student use within the salon, students will need to bring their own grooming scissors, including straight, curved, and thinning scissors. If needed, our team can provide expert advice or even assist in purchasing these tools on your behalf, with a special discount available for students.
Pooch Model Discount: Groom Your Dog and Build Your Business
At the British School of Grooming, students can take advantage of our exclusive ‘Pooch Model’ discount. This allows students to bring their own dogs into the salon and groom them using our top-quality equipment and professional grooming products.
For those planning to build their own grooming business, bringing one of your potential clients into the salon is an excellent way to kickstart your journey. Not only does it help build your confidence, but it also familiarises you with the animal under expert supervision. This hands-on experience is invaluable for managing your clients and building a loyal client base.
To avoid double bookings, please arrange with the centre before confirming any appointments with your clients.
