The curriculum prepares students for industry-recognized certifications from the Canadian Professional Pet Stylists, such as the Canadian Canine Bather Technician.
Northern College’s experienced instructors, modern facilities, and integration with the Veterinary Assistant program provide a robust learning environment. People who finish the course can work in salons, veterinary offices, or open their own pet businesses. Enrolling in Northern means gaining the knowledge, certifications, and self-assurance needed to succeed in pet care.
