Hi I'm new to forums and am looking for advice on how to get into dog grooming as a career.
I'm in my mid forties and currently have a full time job working Monday to Friday. I'm looking for a career change and really want to do something about it before it's too late. However I'm not sure on the best way to do it as I would have to fit my training around my current job.
I'm looking at enrolling on a one day introduction to dog grooming and doing an online diploma to give me some knowledge of the job. I have also found a college offering City and Guilds level 2 of which I can do most of it online and then attend college for a week.
The thing I'm most concerned about is gaining practical experience as can only really do this at the weekends or evenings if viable as I can't afford to leave my current job until I have enough training and experience.
Has anybody got any advice they can give on becoming a groomer or been in a similar situation as myself?
Thanks in advance
