The Paw Pad Parlour & Academy provides an inclusive learning environment for grooming at any level of experience. As the first dog grooming academy in North Devon since 2020, we have been teaching for over 3 years. More than 10 students who completed our course have successfully launched their own businesses.
Our academy is accredited by the Pet Collective Network, founded by Kelly Gayler, known from Pooch Perfect. In partnership with Shelley Hill, we offer the AIM program, featuring a recognized Level 3 Diploma and First Aid Certification.
The 10-month course takes place one day a week on either Thursday or Tuesday, usually from 9 am to 5 pm, with some flexibility to accommodate commitments like school runs. With a maximum of only 3 students per course, each trainee receives personalized 1-on-1 support.
Upon successful completion of the course, graduates have the opportunity to rent a table in our newly revamped salon, equipped with the best grooming facilities on the market. They can go on with their own business with ongoing support.
The Level 3 Diploma costs £5700 plus a £340 admin fee. However, a package of equipment worth over £300 is provided at the beginning of the course. Monthly payments of £570 can be made at the end of each month to help spread the cost.
Our training meets high standards, aiming to prepare you to establish your own dog grooming business after completing the course. Your success in this career path depends on your dedication and time commitment.

Graham Ball2023-11-03 The hotel meets all our needs clean nice look to the outside,yes I would book in once more . Millie2023-10-31 I would never take my WFT anywhere else. Since moving back to Barnstaple earlier this year Alicia has been hand stripping my lovely boy Rory. I cannot praise her enough. Hand stripping is super tricky and a WFT coat is especially difficult, unlike most other dogs and some groomers won’t even touch them….Alicia has invested time, energy and money in learning to groom a WFT to the perfect breed standard and I couldn’t be happier with the job she’s doing. Rory goes monthly to keep his coat rolled and I get so many compliments on how smart he looks. I really admire Alicia’s passion for her work and she is a perfectionist…Rory LOVES her and sits outside the shop when we walk past sometimes keen to see her again (v cute). I don’t hesitate to recommend Paw Pad Parlour to friends and feel lucky to have found such a great groomer for my boy. She even gave him a Halloween bandanna on his most recent groom. Always the extra mile. Gary Stanbury2023-10-25 Can't recommend Alicia enough,took my nervous pug to be groomed and she was so patient and understanding. Ruth Sky2023-10-24 I was nervous taking my cat to get groomed for the first time, but I really shouldn't have been. Paw Pad Parlour couldn't have been more amazing, I think the lady I dealt with was called Alisha and she was fantastic. Already booked in for next time. Sam Jolly2023-10-24 Alicia was incredibly professional and super helpful. She went over and above when grooming my new puppy. I certainly won't be going anywhere else. Highly recommended.
