What Students Have to Say KIRSTY WILSON PRESTON This course is so easy. I was a little nervous before I started it but even after the first module I was at ease.

You can save the work on to your pc or laptop as you go along so you can go back over it later on. At the end of each module you even get time to practise what you have learnt. I m so glad I found this company and will highly recommend. ELIZABETH BYRNE SCOTLAND I really enjoyed completing this course, it was very informative and has boosted my confidence so much that I feel excited about moving forward with my new career. I have learned so much by completing the course and I cannot wait to put it all into practice. I completed the course after studying at my own pace, there was no time scale to finish it which I was happy about and the support team were very quick to respond to any queries that I had at any time throughout the learning process. I love that I have my certificate and I feel very proud of myself.

7 NICKY CORBETT KIDDERMINSTER This course was very informative and I loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach. Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy! PARMJIT UPPAL BILSTON I must honestly say that this course website is a great help for learning new information on previous courses as I did a Premiere Animal Care 1 year course. Ever since my mum introduced me to this website and got me on the Dog Grooming Diploma course through New Skills, we also came across many other great courses and offers and not only did I learn new skills, techniques and information while working on my modules, my previous knowledge on dog care expanded tremendously! I would definitely recommend this website to friends and family to help them gain skills, experience and knowledge on whatever job they are hoping to get with the qualifications from their chosen course. MARGARET WHITEHEAD GLENROTHES I was very pleased to find a course online which suited both my financial and learning needs. Really enjoyed the course and would like to take this further. I would recommend this course and found it good value. There is a lack of this type of course available in any colleges in Scotland. The course has given me motivation to learn and research online about different breeds of dogs and their care. I enjoyed the videos attached to the course which were very detailed and easy to follow. I have since purchased the brushes and tools recommended and have had a chance to put into practice what I have learned. JACQUELINE MYERS BELFAST Very enjoyable and informative course which covered all aspects of dog grooming, managing the business side and history of dog grooming. What I liked most was being able to do the course at my own pace, revisiting modules as required to gain a complete understanding of what I was learning. I found the video tutorials very helpful and was able to give my own dog a professional cut after watching them. On the one occasion I forgot my password, online help were very prompt in helping me. I would highly recommend this course. Good value for money. Thank you New Skills Academy! SAMANTHA HOLMES LANCASTER This is a really great course, its content is really useful. It s great value for money and it s not at all stressful. It s so easy to understand, yet it covers complex aspects regarding safe practices. It let s you stop and start the course, which means I can still work in a full time job, which won t effect me financially. This has been the best decision to complete this course. I m really keen to learn more skills, and maybe do a few more courses to expand my skills set. I will most definitely be using New Skills Academy to help me!

8 LAUREN JONES BEDFORD This course is really good. Easy to read and I found it really enjoyable and interesting as it was full of facts and information relating to the course. It is nicely broken up into sections with short tests at the end and it doesn t feel too overwhelming, feels very manageable. I especially like that there is no time limit on completing this course, being a full time mum of two small children my life is pretty hectic so it s great that whenever I get half an hour free I can sit and do as much or as little as I want. CLAIRE HALL SPALDING Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Have decided to change my career path but have no real experience or qualifications in the job I really want to do. I have always wanted to work with animals but ended up in the retail sector. While I do enjoy that, I feel now is the time to get out there and do what I want to do. I have sent in my CV to a dog groomer near me with a copy of my certificate attached. Fingers crossed! I enjoyed this Diploma so much I shall be having a go at another pet/dog related one in the very near future! LORRAINE REDKNAPP GILLINGHAM I loved this course. I feel I could start my own business if I choose to but I prefer working for a company that is already established. I found this course easy to understand and follow and found it highly useful that I could pick it up and leave it as I wished so I could fit it in around my life. I am currently scouring the internet and papers and phoning companies in order to find myself employment with in this field of work. I cannot thank this company enough for enabling me to fulfil a life dream of working with animals. ELISA JAY LONDON This course is easy to read, it s given me a new avenue to go down and very happy with all the advice I have been given. The modules give you the basics and knowledge required to start up on your own if you have the back bone to go and use it! The staff are as helpful as could possibly be. Thank you for this opportunity, I am very grateful and will be carrying on to the next qualification as soon as I can. Please note this is a real service and I really can t believe it s genuinely. Real big kiss to everyone who has helped me with this.
