Brenda’s Academy Curriculum: See What You’ll Learn
The test of time has proven that a minimum of 16 weeks is necessary to sufficiently teach the basics of grooming and instill in each student that extra sense of confidence needed to groom professionally.
At Brenda’s Academy of Professional Dog Grooming in Moncton, our philosophy places major emphasis on building grooming skills through actual practical classroom experience. After an initial orientation session, students work on live dogs under close supervision by the instructors. Students are given extensive individual guidance, and class size is limited to provide maximum attention to each student.
