| The
Florida Academy of Pet Grooming operates a grooming
salon, which is open to the public. This allows
the student to learn on a wide variety of breeds
of dogs and some cats. Students are taught to groom
according to the American Kennel Club (AKC) standards
or the desires of the pet owner. The school is 1500
square feet and contains several different areas,
which are:
Grooming
Area
The grooming area has 30 square feet per student and
will accommodate ten students. Each station is equipped
with a Clipper VAC table, and all of the most modern
grooming equipment. This is where our students actually
work on pets under close supervision of our certified
instructors.
Bathing/Drying
Area
We have a separate room for bathing and drying. This
room is equipped with a bathing tub, cages, cage
dryers, and Quiet Force Dryers.
Library
The library is equipped with a
wide variety of up-to-date books and videos related
to the pet industry.
Eating Area
The lunchroom is equipped with tables and chairs, refrigerator
and microwave. The school is also minutes away from
several fast food restaurants.
Retail Area
The school has a retail area which is open to the public.
We feel all students will benefit by being exposed
to other business opportunities they may want to
eventually branch into. However, students selecting
the Master All Breed Grooming Program will become
involved in this area as part of their training.
Housing
The Florida Academy of Pet Grooming
does not provide housing for students. However,
a list of reliable Realtor and rental properties,m
in close proximity to the school, will be provided
upon request if housing assistance is requested
at the time of enrollment.
Equipment
Each student must have the necessary equipment within
ten days of enrollment to the program. A complete
list follows and equipment may be purchased at our
school. Equipment must meet the standards of the
school.
