  • IAPEG has helped me to become the kind of groomer I always set out to be. To be part of such a supportive group that allows you to explore your creative side whilst keeping in mind the wants and need of the pet is so refreshing. To be held account for all that we do in an educational way is priceless and exactly what our industry should be about.

    Stuart Simons

  • With 18 years of professional grooming experience, I had a good grasp of the basics, but I craved a deeper knowledge that seemed to be missing in the pet industry. I dabbled in webinars and mini-courses, but it wasn’t until I delved into the MTPAe Diploma that everything changed. This course not only expanded my understanding of skin, hair, and grooming techniques but also equipped me with the ability to evaluate products, conquer skin issues, and offer holistic treatments with confidence. It’s been a game-changer.
