Smells grea!

Thanks to the skills I’ve gained from the Syllabus, today’s cat client not only looked amazing—she looked better than ever, according to her owner. After trying several other groomers, the client said this was the best result yet and immediately booked every 6 weeks going forward. It’s rewarding to see my grooming results impress both cats and their humans!

I have found the online course invaluable, making the hands on training and exams all make sense.
I cannot wait to get my business started and to a stage where I can give up the corporate world forever!

I wish this kind of information was around when I had cats as clients who I thought were the spawn of satan….. reading on how to properly restrain , if I knew back then what I know now… grooming experiences would’ve been a whole lot better.

I took the “Cat Grooming Basics- Foundation to Success!” online course prior to my trip to the NCGIA for personal private instruction (PPI) and I was very satisfied with how thorough and well done the course was. The course contains detailed, step-by-step instructions, as well as videos, to ensure that I was well prepared prior to my trip. When I got to the NCGIA, I didn’t have to spend valuable time going over the basics, so I could jump right into what I really wanted to do– groom cats! It also adequately prepared me to take all of my practical exams and my written exams with ease. I found this course to be an essential tool in my journey to become a CFMG.

I love these courses. I’ve been grooming cats for quite a while but I learn something new every day. At dinner each night, we sit at our table and my husband has now started asking “Ok, Courtney, what’s the new cat fact of the day?” And I love it. haha. Thank you for building such a user-friendly online course too! Sometimes online learning is confusing! You put this together very well.

I was one of those groomers who only did a cat if it was “nice” or had been groomed before, and I’d only offer lion cuts or nail trims and never fully dry – Fast forward to now …still learning but my confidence is way way way up! I now take on all cats when the owners come my way, even those the owner wants to stop getting sedated and try a groomer willing to attempt without. I feel less frustrated and more educated.

The NCGI provides a solid foundation within the syllabus program. One that is credible & excels in excellence. This course provides the knowledge & techniques required to operate a business with professionalism within an industry with a demand for professional cat groomers! CFMG certification provides confidence to the cat owners that their feline will be handled properly while in my grooming facility. Syllabus bonuses provides me with tools in making my cat grooming business highly regarded & respected.

I have been a Sales Exec for most of my working life. Selling anything from cardboard boxes, office products, dental materials and mostly skincare/cosmetics. I’m still doing this while I build up my cat clientele. I have finally found something I truly love to do….who would have thought it would be grooming cats!

I was a Social worker for 20 years! Two months ago, quit my job and opened exclusive cats only salon and love it!

I can not express how much I love cat grooming. Every single day I find myself gushing to a client about how much I love my job. And they always respond with, “Yea! I can tell!”
I just want you guys to know HOW MUCH I appreciate you and how you’ve impacted my life. I was a bonafide dog lover and I would’ve never imagined any of this.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Danelle and Lynn.

Now 2.5 years in business we now have 450 cats on our books growing more every week, and we owe a LOT of that to our training and certification from NCGI! The confidence we have from the Veterinarians in our area based on our education is something that we would have never had without it.

We are the only feline exclusive salon in our area and have clients who drive up to 4 hours one way to have us groom their cats because they want CFMG’s who are trained and certified to groom their cats.

The investment made to go through the CFMG program is well worth it if you haven’t enrolled already what are you waiting for! Dive in and join the family!

I have worked in the healthcare industry for 30 years. Since I trained at the NCGI and started my own feline-exclusive cat grooming business, I can’t imagine doing anything else. It pays so much better and, most importantly for me, is the feeling I get when I help a cat with an issue their owner thought was insurmountable. I feel very appreciated by owner and cat in this profession. Becoming a Certified Feline Master Groomer has opened a door for me that I never imagined going through and I have such a positive feeling about the path to my future…thank you NCGI.
