About you

Why do you want to take this course?

Any prior experience with grooming, or hands-on work with dogs? Have you completed PCGEC?

PCGEC isn't required to apply, but tell us if you've done it.

How would you currently handle a dog that's resisting or struggling during a task?

Fit & expectations

This is a career-pathway programme, not designed for personal/hobbyist use. Does this match what you're looking for?

Yes

What this course actually involves — please confirm you understand

Nail trimming and hygiene clip have no practice-model step. I will watch these performed on a live dog several times, then practice on a live dog myself later in the programme.

The full haircut in this course is practiced on a model only — I will not perform a full haircut on a live dog at this level.

I understand I may optionally sit an internationally recognised bather-level safety certification exam after this course, at my own additional cost, billed at actuals. The full groomer-level exam still requires a live clippered trim, which this tier doesn't teach (haircut is model-only here) — that stays reserved for PACGC graduates.

I understand the course fee (₹50,000), deposit (₹12,500, non-refundable, due on acceptance), and cancellation policy.

Physical readiness & wellbeing

This course involves standing for extended periods, lifting and holding animals, and repetitive hand movements. Are you able to do this safely?

Yes

Optional — add context if you would like

Optional and confidential — not used in the acceptance decision: is there anything about your health we should be aware of for your safety during hands-on activities (e.g., a recent surgery, an allergy, or a condition that could be affected by physical exertion or animal contact)?

Submitting this covers Stage 1 only; interview scheduling, the prerequisite check, and the temperament/safety assessment happen after review.
