Personalized Private Instruction & Practical Exams
with NCGI Certifiers
Get hands-on training by a pro! Contact one of our NCGI Certifiers to learn cat grooming at a location closer to you. The Certifier program is on an invitation-only basis, with CFMGs selected based on location, grooming skills, salon setup, clientele and more. Each Certifier receives resources and training to help them work with students of all different backgrounds. We recommend students go through the Complete Cat Groomer Training Syllabus prior to attending hands-on instruction and practical exam attempts.
Exams
Written exams can be taken via proctor, NCGI staff or Certifier. Practical exams must be taken in-person with a NCGI Certifier. Click here to get more details about the certification process.
