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.
