The first link will take you to training courses held in Hampshire (Groomers Training Ltd); all those planned for 2007, however, appear to be full. The second site takes you to a training centre in South Wales. And the following text comes from the third site below: 'In addition, some salons may offer training on the job and this is another good way of getting into this industry. Jobs may be offered on this site or in local newspapers and in magazines such as Our Dogs and Dog World. To find out more about courses, contact local dog groomers, the Connexions centre or the - Pet Care Trust for advice.' Good luck.
