This course is so easy. I was a little nervous before I started it but even after the first module I was at ease.
The video's are clear and the course is easy to understand.
Everything I need to learn is here, from the basics like handling to bathing to full grooming. you can save the work on to your pc or laptop as you go along so you can go back over it later on. at the end of each module you even get time to practise what you have learnt.
I'm so glad I found this company and will highly recommend.

Having just completed the Admin & PA diploma I feel far more equipped to start a new career. From covering the basics, to recapping on things forgotten to introducing new concepts this course has something for everyone.
Shelley Tomkins
I really enjoyed this course. Although I already work in customer services, I found it very informative and I picked up a lot of useful information and tips. What I liked about the course was that it was something you could do at your own pace and it was easy to follow. It made me feel more relaxed about my studying and put me at ease when it came to the final test at the end. The modules were just the right length, with plenty of content to get your teeth into but not too much that it became overwhelming, and that made it better to learn and digest what was being said. I would certainly recommend it!
Stephen Rawlinson
I really enjoyed this course. Was a lot of reading and had to stop and try to take it in.
There were 21 modules, and most of them took 45 minutes to complete, so you need to be in a position, where you actually have the time to do all the tasks that are required. The tasks are mainly to do things by yourself to practise what you have just read, but doing it will help you out so much.
Will be looking for another course, as I enjoyed this so much, definitely worth the price as the certificate is worth more on your cv.

It was an eye opening course that was flexible and easy to access. I was able to complete it from the comfort of my own home whilst also having the tasks to complete which enabled me to check my knowledge. I know feel much more confident in my field of work and really enjoyed doing it.
Ellie Clarke
I am a doctor. This course is well organized, covering all areas of CBT. The videos and practical tips are very helpful. All the modules are arranged with good explanations and examples. Also each module consists of quick test and assignment which enables you to gain knowledge. Finally I would like to thank the New Skills Academy team.
Dr. M. Arshad
This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)
Julia Bobkova
The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
