Dog Grooming Diploma

Module Lesson Breakdown

Our dog grooming courses have been meticulously crafted in consultation with professionals in the industry. Even though there isn't a specific mandatory qualification for this profession, it's essential that anyone selling their services as a groomer undergos professional training. The development of our courses stems from this critical need to ensure that groomers are properly trained and equipped to deliver high-quality services. Ensuring the safety of both the groomer and the animals in their care.

You will master the art of grooming all dog breeds by focusing on four essential skills: shaping the head, body, legs/feet, and tail. Through a comprehensive approach, you will gain a deep understanding of each dog's unique shape, encompassing breed standards, coat type, anatomy, and lifestyle. By adeptly combining and matching grooming techniques, you will tailor your approach to suit each individual dog, ensuring a well-rounded and effective grooming proficiency.

How this Qualification is Assessed?

What sets us apart is our commitment to hands-on support and assessment throughout the learning journey. Our written assessments are not automated; each one is carefully reviewed by your certified dog grooming mentor Hannah.  As a professional groomer herself, Hannah provides personalised feedback and is always there to offer support and guidance throughout your learning journey. 

Consider these sample assessment questions:

  1. Describe the three types of canine eyebrows used on dogs with rectangular faces?
  2. How do you appropriately prepare a double-coated, heavily shedding dog for a bath?
  3. Can you identify the blending points and head shape specific to a Bichon Frise?

These questions exemplify the level of detail and practical knowledge our course imparts, ensuring that by graduation, students can confidently apply grooming skills tailored to the unique characteristics of each dog they encounter.

Become a productive and confident Microsoft Outlook 2007 user.

Want to learn Microsoft Outlook 2007 fast? Want to become a confident and productive user of this powerful program without having to memorise a lot of technical mumbo-jumbo? In this course, you'll see what's new in Outlook 2007 and get up and running quickly with the most important aspects of the program, from basic e-mailing to automating your work with rules. You'll learn security basics and how to perform maintenance tasks, like backing up your data. You'll even create a Google Gmail account for class assignments and personal use. You'll also interact with other students and an instructor whose Outlook books, articles, and online courses have helped thousands of people like you learn the essentials of earlier editions of Outlook. Whether you're new to Outlook or you've been using it for years, you're sure to learn something useful in every lesson.

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

Are you ready to get organized and become more efficient? For a lot of people, Microsoft Outlook 2007 is the answer to increased productivity in the workplace and at home. We'll start with a whirlwind tour of the interface and the help systems so you can get familiar with the program if you're new to it. Then we'll get you hooked up with a Google Gmail e-mail account you can use with this course and ever after. We'll wrap up the lesson with a look at keyboard shortcuts that can make navigating Outlook a breeze.

Now that you have an e-mail account, it is time to put it to use. In this lesson, you'll learn how to send, receive, and reply to e-mail messages. We'll also go over Desktop Alerts, Outlook's way of notifying you that you have new messages to read or tasks to do.

Now that you have the e-mail flowing, it's time to see how Outlook can help you manage it. Today, we'll look at how you can simplify your life by handling all your e-mail accounts in one place. You'll also see how you can use message groups and flags to keep track of conversations and organize your inbox. Plus, you'll love how Outlook helps you file messages with rules that do all the work of a personal assistant.

Outlook contacts can do everything the proverbial little black book could do—and a whole lot more! In this lesson, you'll see how you can create contacts and use the information they contain in other areas of Outlook, like the address fields of an e-mail message. You can even search your contacts, making it easy to find information about that guy, John, whose last name you can never remember, or the phone number of that little restaurant on Santiago Street.

These days, there are many ways to communicate electronically. Outlook 2007 works with two new technologies (instant messaging and RSS feeds) to expand the ways you can communicate. So today, we'll take a quick look at instant messaging programs and how they work with Outlook. Then, we'll dive into RSS feeds, a popular new way to get news and other information delivered right into Outlook folders.

It's time for a big change of gears. So far in this course, we've been using Outlook to communicate. But Outlook can also manage your personal information. In this lesson, we're going to focus on the personal information manager side of Outlook, starting with the calendar. The calendar got a major makeover in this version, so even if you're an Outlook veteran, you'll find a lot of new tips and tricks in this lesson.

Do you have tasks you need to do? Why not let Outlook help you keep track of them instead of relying on 50 random scraps of paper, each with a different notation? In this lesson, you're going to see how Outlook can help you keep track of all the stuff you need to do. You'll learn how to set automatic reminders that tell you when it's time to get cracking on a particular task so you'll always get your work done on time!

If you're wondering how to keep track of all the stuff that doesn't fit into e-mail messages or calendar appointments or a to-do list, you'll find all the answers in this lesson. Outlook's notes and shortcuts will be your new best friends. You'll learn how top use notes to store bits of information and shortcuts to tell you where you stored something on your computer. These tools make life a lot easier!

It's time to talk about managing your Outlook information again. We'll go back to talking about folders and rules in this lesson, but this time we'll have a different emphasis. You'll also find out how you can print information you want to take with you when you're away from your computer.

No matter how well you organize and manage information, there will come a time when you want to get old items out of the way without losing them. In this lesson, you'll learn how to archive your old information and back it up. We'll also talk about the tools you can use to help you find a specific item among the hundreds or thousands of items you may have stored.

There's a dark side to everything, and the unfortunate thing about using any e-mail program is that it's a door into your world. Spammers, hackers, phishers, and other individuals who want to spy on you, impersonate you, or even steal from you might try sneaking in through Outlook. Today, we're going to talk about Outlook's security measures and how you can use them to protect yourself from these unscrupulous people.

Microsoft put huge efforts into making Outlook easy to use. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it does everything exactly the way you'd like it to. In this final lesson, we'll look at some ways you can customize Outlook to make it work more the way you want it to.

Verified Student
I am amazed at all the things that Outlook can do for me. When you learn something on your own you tend to learn only the bare bones and don't get an opportunity to immerse yourself and really be able to use it to its fullest. I am also very glad I took this course, and will recommend it to others.
