Qualifications

Heidi Anderton LCGI - Proprietor and Main Tutor

I am a Member of the following Associations:
  • Guild of Master Groomers
  • Pet Care Trust-British Dog Groomers Association
  • Guild of Master Craftsmen

I have obtained the following
Nationally recognised Qualifications:
  • Advanced level 3 in Dog Grooming
  • Higher Diploma in Dog Grooming (level 4)
  • Teaching Certificate (level 3)
  • Pet Log certified in Micro-chipping
  • Animal First Aid Qualified
  • British Groomer of the Year 2004

I have now been grooming for over 20 years and have worked in many grooming salons. I Opened my own grooming salon in 1995 with the help of the Prince’s Youth Business Trust and backing from my then veterinary surgeon, Christopher Godfrey MABvet Med, MRCVS(now retired).

As this is not yet a licensed or regulated industry I felt I wanted to prove my competence so I could give the best service to my clients. I am very passionate about the service my customers and their pets receive and am dedicated to improving this service at every opportunity. Even though these exams have taken a lot of time, dedication and expenses, the knowledge I have gained has been invaluable for all that I serve.

Competing against the country’s finest has also been and still is a great challenge which I thoroughly enjoy and where I also learn about the finer points of gaining that WOW factor finish, which is also passed on to my clients pets.

I am very keen to promote training for groomers and to pass on the skills which I have acquired over the years including not only the aesthetics, but also the service and good handling techniques required to make sure my clients’ pets have an enjoyable experience whilst in our care.

I have an open door policy at Absolutely Animals where you can come and view grooming and styling in progress at any time.

Thank you for reading this, I hope you like the site and have found the information interesting and helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional information you may require.

Heidi.
