Many of our students have family obligations, financial restraints, and cannot leave home for weeks at a time or be without a job to undertake practical skills courses at the Nash Academy. For this reason, we created the Nash Approved concept to encourage salons and schools to participate in the system. These sites are salons and schools located around the world, owned by dedicated pet care professionals who have graduated from Nash Academy or other training establishments who believe in and are committed to the Nash System of Education and the goal of setting high standards in the industry. Students who have completed their online courses learn the practical skills portion of their program by attending On the Job Training Sites, Internship Sites, Training Sites or Schools approved to use the Nash System.
