We highly recommend students go through the Complete Cat Groomer Training Syllabus before attempting exams. This entire program covers cat grooming from A to Z and will help you prepare for both your written and hands-on portions.

Definitely! Cat grooming is a booming, but still niche, market in the grooming industry. Premium service offered = premium prices paid!
