Validity of diplomas:
Vocational training diplomas are subject to protection and are entered in a single register of vocational qualification documents issued by the National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (NAVET). You can check the legitimacy of your diploma here:
Why do we issue a ``Certificate of Professional Training`` rather than a ``Certificate of Professional Qualification``?
✅ Scope of training – The course covers all topics related to the profession of dog groomer, specializing in dog haircutting.
✅ Duration – The training is conducted in a shorter period of time and at a more affordable price. A course that ends with a certificate is three times longer, which makes it too expensive. Are you ready to pay three times more?
✅ State-recognized document – The certificate is a fully legitimate document because it is issued by a licensed Vocational Training Center (VTC) registered with the National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (NAVET).
✅ Registration and traceability – Each certificate is entered in the official register of the National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (NAVET) and has a unique registration number that can be verified by personal identification number and registration number.
📌 Conclusion: The only difference between the Certificate and the Diploma is the smaller number of training hours. However, the Certificate is state-recognized, guarantees authenticity and traceability, and provides the necessary knowledge and skills to practice the profession.
What is Europass?
This is a European Commission document on public education and training that helps to clearly and easily understand your skills and qualifications in Europe. This document can be issued by public vocational education institutions – the licensed vocational training center “ACADEMY FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING,” with license number 2018121455 dated November 5, 2018.
Do you need it?
Europass is a supplement to a certificate (State Certificate or Diploma) and provides a detailed description of the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of vocational education and training certificates. This document supplements the information contained in the official certificate and makes it easier to understand, especially abroad.

Specifics of grooming courses
The offering of grooming courses for Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, and Poodles is determined by the specific needs of these breeds, which require different approaches and techniques when it comes to grooming. These three breeds have specific grooming requirements due to their characteristic coats and appearance. The specialized grooming courses for these breeds are designed to provide dogs with optimal care and maintain their coats in a healthy and beautiful condition. Here is a summary of the differences between the grooming procedures for these three breeds:
Grooming a Yorkshire Terrier
- Based on their coat type, Yorkshire Terriers are part of the free-falling coat group. Their hair is most similar to human hair, growing continuously throughout their lives, so it needs the same care as human hair. Caring for the condition of a Yorkie’s coat is a daily task, requiring regular bathing with cosmetics suitable for this type of hair, which usually includes not only shampoo but also conditioner, mask, and a mandatory spray that is used during combing. Visits to the grooming salon are also mandatory: the hairstyles here are varied, depending mainly on the condition of the coat and, last but not least, the owner’s wishes. In this course, you will learn about the breed and its specifics, learn techniques for grooming the coat, as well as the different hairstyles that are most suitable for Yorkshire Terriers.
Grooming a Pomeranian
- Based on their coat type, Pomeranians and Spitz dogs are part of the group of dogs with thick coats and undercoats. These breeds also require regular coat care, which includes bathing and combing, as well as visits to a grooming salon, where the coat is usually styled or the dead undercoat is removed. Working with these breeds is specific, as the hairstyle is shaped exclusively with scissors; clippers or trimmers are not allowed. In addition, these breeds are prone to various skin diseases, so proper maintenance and grooming is extremely important for their health. During the course, you will learn not only the correct techniques for working with this coat, but also specific procedures, such as spa and ozone therapies, which are often necessary for the maintenance of these breeds.
Poodle grooming
- Based on their coat type, poodles are part of the group of dogs with voluminous coats. What’s unique about poodles is that the structure and therefore the treatment of their coat varies depending on the color of the coat. Here, too, coat care must be regular. Regular bathing with combing is required, as well as visits to a grooming salon. There are many different hairstyles, and during the course we will focus on the most popular hairstyles in the field of home grooming, teaching various combing and cutting techniques, working with clippers and scissors, depending on the look we want to create.
