"I worked as a dental nurse but returned to college to change careers. I now own my own business, Only Pets Groom Room, and work part-time. The course allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience in a professional setting through practical training at the College’s fully equipped grooming salon, working with a variety of dog breeds. I hope to return to college to study Level 3 Dog Grooming."

"I enjoy the visual learning I get to do, which helps me groom dogs to a high standard and learn different techniques. The teachers take their own time to learn and care about each student, which ensures we all get the best support during and outside of lessons. I hope to become a self-employed dog groomer and a dog grooming teacher. I used the Learner Support Fund to help fund my course and support me in getting to College."
