Would not recommend this school at all. Over priced and you do not get the hands training needed .You are expected to learn on your own. There are only 2 instructors for group classes of 6 max.Not only do they have to do their full days of grooming but are also expected to try and help the students. They are not bad instructors but are not on the same page. One will tell you one thing and the other will tell you its wrong. Very confusing at the end of the day. They do NOT have any understanding of how to teach a student that has difficulties learning and do not know how to explain/teach in more ways than one and end up doing the work for you. You spend more time working for free for them bathing and brushing dogs,especially for other groomers. Practicum tests. More often than not the students have never done one of the grooms before their practicum because of lack of training.They tell you its a failproof course but its not. They tell you at the end you are a certified groomer. You are not. Only through them. Do not be deceived. This course may teach you the basics of grooming and show you the tools necessary for grooming but at the end of the day it is overpriced for what you do not receive.

The Apex Academy is an amazing institution to attend. Speaking as someone who had little knowledge about animal grooming prior to the courses, the instructors have helped me progress to the groomer I am today! Each instructor is extremely helpful if you have any questions and they teach you so that you are able to provide the best care to an animal. Apex Academy also provides valuable tools that you have to your disposal while you are learning. Coupled with the vast knowledge that each instructor has, you can graduate with the necessary knowledge to be successful. It's hard work, but extremely rewarding. If you work hard you'll be successful. I can't thank Connie and all the instructors enough, and I am proud to be a graduate of the Apex Academy!

My dogs have had such amazing experiences at Zoom Zoom Groom and with the students at APEX Academy! I love that I can get in faster with a student when I'm tight on time, and the price difference is a bonus!

There is not much 1 on 1 training. You spend a lot of time waiting around for someone to come help you. There are 1-2 instructors for 6 students. Didn't get any teaching on faces. (Which is the most important part because you want your dog to be cute) Didn't get to do a standard poodle or a bishon. Spend half the course doing bath and brushes for the company. Basically learn on your own. Very very difficult to transition to a grooming workplace, which is frustrating becaue website states you will be "ready to open your own shop or work in a salon" Didn't teach us about time factor how to get faster. Would not recommend this school. Too expensive for lack of teaching. After completing the course it turns out I actually had no idea about the grooming industry - how salons work. etc. very disappointing.
