Questions
Things future students always ask.
Why choose the 600-Hour over the 300-Hour Foundation?
The 600-Hour Advanced graduates students with the breed-standard precision, corrective grooming, and business knowledge to run solo grooms in a salon — or open their own. If you're aiming at salon ownership, AKC-style grooming, or a portfolio for show work, the Advanced track is the right one.
Do I need a high school diploma or GED?
Yes — or you can pass the Wonderlic Ability to Benefit (ATB) test (200 Verbal / 210 Quantitative). The 300-Hour program does not require a diploma or GED.
Can I transfer credits from another grooming school?
Contact admissions for transfer credit consideration. We evaluate prior education on a case-by-case basis.
What's the typical job outlook for 600-Hour graduates?
Florida groomer salaries range $39K–$61K+ per Bureau of Labor Statistics data, with experienced groomers and salon owners earning more. We provide career placement support but do not guarantee employment.
