The OCN dog grooming diploma is recognised in the UK’s national education system at level 3 which is the equivalent of A level learning. Over the period of 28 days, students will groom a minimum of 10 different breeds in a minimum of 15 different styles but often many more where possible. There are no pre-requisites to starting the course, meaning you can join at level 3 without having completed a lower level (level 2) course first which can be a huge cost saving to students.
