Clip Clip Hooray is now a member of the National Cat Groomer's Institute of America! Well, more accurately, I guess I am now a member of the NCGIA...but you know what a mean.
What is the NCGIA? It's the first feline specific grooming association ever to be formed. Its purpose is to set and maintain cat grooming standards, provide the education and training for meeting those standards and to certify groomers that have met those standards.
So that's pretty exciting! What's even more exciting is that at the end of January I'll be attending the first ever Feline Grooming School. At the end of those two weeks I'll become a Certified Feline Master Groomer. I'll spend two weeks learning everything from breeds, to anatomy to business management. I'll also be honing my grooming skills. Learning better ways to handle cats, different grooming procedures and styles. I'll take 9 (NINE!) tests to prove I've mastered the ins and outs of cat grooming. Having flipped through my study packets, I can tell you this is intense!
I love grooming cats! I'm really looking forward to learning and becoming a Certified Feline Master Groomer. Can't wait! In fact, I'm going to start studying now...
