Questions groomers ask
Is it really free?
Yes. Every seminar guide is free while we launch the academy. Later on, each guide will be £10 on its own. There’s no card to enter and nothing to cancel.
I came to one of the seminars. Do I keep it free?
Yes. If you attended a seminar in person, that guide stays free for you for good, even once guides are sold. Sign up with the email address you booked with.
Do I need to be a qualified groomer?
No. The guides are for anyone who grooms or wants to, whether you trained with us, somewhere else, or not yet.
What else do I get with a free account?
The free online courses, a preview of every paid course, and the first news about the membership when it opens.
