(latest NCVER data)Professional dog grooming requires accurate coat preparation, breed-specific styling and safe handling to meet client expectations while maintaining animal comfort and welfare. This unit gives RTOs a practical animal care training option for learners developing grooming skills for commercial salons, mobile grooming services and pet care workplaces.
Learners develop skills in assessing coat condition and breed requirements, selecting grooming tools and equipment, preparing dogs for grooming, applying breed-specific clipping and scissoring techniques, managing animal behaviour, and checking finished styles against client requirements.
Equip your RTO with ACMGRM305 RTO training materials designed to support practical dog grooming instruction, breed-specific coat styling and workplace-based assessment. Purchase RTO materials from TotalVET Training Resources to reduce internal resource development time and streamline preparation for hands-on grooming training.
These structured learning materials support consistent delivery across classroom, online and blended environments, giving trainers practical tools to engage learners and build job-ready skills.
These assessment tools provide a structured framework for gathering evidence, making consistent decisions and supporting RTO assessment and validation processes.

Trainers can incorporate examples involving double coats, curly coats, silky coats and wire coats, helping learners understand appropriate grooming techniques, equipment selection and breed presentation standards.
The assessment materials can support evidence gathering for practical grooming activities, including coat preparation, equipment handling, styling techniques and finished grooming outcomes. Assessors should review the assessment requirements and arrange suitable dogs, facilities and observation opportunities to evaluate learner competency against the unit requirements.

Your RTO can incorporate organisational branding, adjust terminology and adapt relevant examples to reflect its grooming equipment, salon procedures and learner needs, subject to applicable licence conditions.
