Both the Dog Grooming Diploma and Dog Grooming Diploma + Practicum course option cover the same comprehensive material, ranging from Groomer Technician and Pet Groomer to Pet Stylist. The key difference is that the Practicum option includes hands-on assignments for additional practice, with online tutored feedback from a JKL Professional Grooming Instructor to help you refine your grooming skills.

You only need to choose one course option—there's no requirement to choose both.

- The Dog Grooming Diploma offers theory-based learning, is more budget-friendly, and allows for a quicker completion, awarding you an Academic designation on your diploma.

- The Dog Grooming Diploma + Practicum includes both theory and hands-on practice, giving you extra time to hone your skills and receive professional feedback on your grooms. Upon graduation, you'll receive both an Academic and Practicum designation on your diploma.

You can take either of our Academic courses without having any grooming tools.
