What our students say about us

I’ve never looked back

"I was one of Marie's first students in 2012, after leaving my job as a supervisor for 14 years I took a 28-day course with Top Trimz and the training I received was exceptional, an opinion shared by the other students training with me. We all went on to run our own successful business' , and all keep in touch to this day and still have support from Marie if needed. I have a lovely customer base and make over 3 times the salary I did as a supervisor. I've never looked back, and within the next year or two, I plan to open a Main Street shop and employ staff to help with my ever-increasing business."

I can’t speak highly enough of the training I received at Top Trimz.€�

"I trained to be a Dog Groomer at Top Trimz on a 28-day course ending in 2014, this was one of the best decisions I have made career-wise. I have a job that I love and that I can fit around my family life, and that has given me the opportunity to work for myself and be my own boss. I can't speak highly enough of the training I received at Top Trimz, if you are considering a job in dog grooming look no further, you wont regret it."

Jodi Clark | Mutts Nutt

I tell everyone that I trained with the best.

"There is a lot more to it than meets the eye and the course is quite intense, however, I thoroughly enjoyed and Marie works very hard to ensure you have all the right skills to build your ability and confidence. I opened my salon 18 months ago and it is a thriving business and building all the time. I tell everyone I trained with the best."

I wouldn’t have wanted training elsewhere!€�
"I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Top Trimz. I now have the knowledge and experience to help me kick start my career. Marie and Catherine were so helpful and their knowledge is beyond compare. I wouldn't have wanted training elsewhere."

Beth Jobson | Training completed in 2015

I wish I could do it all again.€�
"Ive had a wonderful and enjoyable course here at Top Trimz, couldn't have asked for anymore. Marie and Catherine have been totally amazing, so friendly, welcoming and understanding. I wish I could do it all again."

Top Trimz are extremely professional and deliver fantastic training. The training programme is varied in delivery and is learner centred throughout. Elements of the training I particularly liked were; induction, practical hands on work, observing demonstrations, group discussions and applying some of the theory work to practice. Every day I would come away motivated and looking forward to the next learning experience.

Marie at Top Trimz offers an excellent training course that is extremely hands on and exactly what is needed to leave feeling confident and ready to begin your own journey as a dog groomer. Since completing my Level 2 and Level 3 City and Guilds course I now work as a dog groomer and I am throughly enjoying it and do not regret taking the leap. I’d always recommend training with Marie, her breath and depth of dog grooming knowledge along with her ability to convey it into a structured teaching style is exemplary and I cannot applaud or thank her enough.

I attended Top Trimz training school to study both City & Guilds Levels 2 and 3, and can safely say I learned a lot! I learn best with hands-on experience, and that's exactly what you get a lot of here. Marie is like an encyclopedia for dog grooming - if you have a question, she'll likely have the answer. I learned how to keep a clean and tidy salon, and there is an emphasis on routines as they are hugely important for both safety and organisation. I never felt like any question I had was a silly one, and I met new friends who I still talk to and get advice from today.

Top trimz has been a fantastic place to learn my city & guilds course. We were hands on from day 1. The course was very informative, with a wide variety of lovely dogs to train on. Marie was a great mentor and helped me build my confidence and skills! I would definitely recommend Top Trimz to anyone looking into dog grooming courses.
