Question 3, Dog Grooming Diploma vs Dog Grooming Diploma + Practicum Option

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.
