I had a really lovely experience with my now tutor, Laura Campbell. Laura was really helpful all the way through the process of signing up to do the Diploma in Dog Grooming, she made sure I was aware of all of the terms and conditions whilst keeping everything really friendly and genuine. I really look forward to starting the course.
