The Train to Groom Program of the Bishop Grooming Academy is a vocational school offering two major curriculae designed to prepare any animal lover for a rewarding career in professional pet grooming. The Professional All-Breed Groomer course is 600 hours long, and the Groomer Assistant is 300 hours long. Alternatively, we offer a summer camp program for high school students interested in learning
animal trade skills. We also offer Master Classes for established groomers who wish to improve certain skill areas such as sc******ng or handstripping, or who wish to prepare for certification. We also offer private one on one lessons to any pet owner who wishes to learn how to groom their own dog. We are located in Chicago's luxurious North Shore suburb of Glencoe, very conveniently located near mass transportation. We serve an elite and diverse clientele, and after only one year in operation several of our graduates are already well-employed in the pet grooming profession. We are the only grooming school in the nation that is run by both an award-winning Certified Master Groomer, who is also an award-winning state licensed professional accredited teacher.
