When I ran into a question about one of the clipping procedures on a terrier breed, I was contacted by an "instructor" named Kathy asking questions that told me she was not a groomer. I emailed her back asking for her qualifications.
This is her response, "I am not a groomer although I am knowledgeable in the subject. I have never worked as a groomer. I an a veterinary technician. I teach all of the animal related subjects." This is a direct quote from her email.
On the phone, she admitted that she had only reviewed the course so she was familiar with it. She said she has never had any other training to qualify her as an instructor. She thinks that because she is a Vet Tech it qualifies her as an instructor in all animal courses that Penn Foster has. She said I had no right saying she was not qualified because I did not know her. How can a person who has never been a groomer and obviously has never been fully trained as a groomer be called an instructor. If she was qualified why did she not tell me what made her qualified. Common sense tells one that it requires more than reading a course to qualify teaching it.
Save your money to pay for a course that you have to pay upfront to be taught by qualified professional groomers. There are courses out there that cost half of what Penn Foster charges. I only did this school because I could make payments. Big mistake.
