TEACHING ONSITE

The Nash System requires instructors to complete a series of trim styles onsite to confirm technical skills, profile knowledge, overall safe and gentle handling of the pet, and routines and techniques.

 

The Nash System trim styles by coat type certification system is the most comprehensive in the pet grooming industry. Students must complete as many of the different trim styles as possible in school with a select group to complete the Bathing, Grooming, and Styling Basics in the diploma program.

 

To teach the diploma level, intermediate or advanced onsite trim styles, you must achieve your teaching level. 

 

Trim Styles by Coat Types

If you are a Nash graduate, we can reference your grades in school, or you have the option to submit updated trim styles to achieve the highest level of expertise. 

 

Not a Nash graduate? In that case, you can attend the school, an approved testing center, or use trim styles from previous grooming competitions, certifications, or confirmation shows.
