Build your knowledge as a dog groomer
Nine practical theory modules covering coats, tools, behaviour, safety, first aid and business — with optional personal coaching.
Course materials and personal coaching are currently delivered in Dutch; this English page explains the programme before you enrol.

TrimTheory from A to Z
Every module connects concepts to decisions you should later be able to explain in supervised practice.
Coat types
Recognise the main coat categories and understand why each requires a different approach.
Single coats
Workflow for bathing, drying, brushing and finishing single coats.
Double coats
Undercoat, guard hair, deshedding and limits that help prevent lasting coat damage.
Hand-stripped coats
Foundations of hand stripping, preparation, timing and suitable tools.
Behaviour and handling
Stress signals, bite prevention, lifting and adapting for young, senior or fearful dogs.
Safe, hygienic practice
Workspace, cleaning, risk assessment and clear stopping points.
First aid and referral
Recognise emergency signals, take first steps and know when a vet is needed.
Business and client workflow

How do I get access?
After payment is confirmed, we set up your learning environment. You receive access and instructions by email within 48 hours.
Does this theory course replace practical lessons?
No. The modules build theory and preparation. Vocational competence still requires supervised practice with different dogs.
Do I receive an accredited vocational diploma?
No. Basis+ includes a certificate of participation, not an accredited vocational diploma. Always check the requirements of training providers, employers and industry bodies.
