How important is online courses for learning dog grooming?
I recently started at a smaller salon as a bather/grooming apprentice. So far my boss says I’m doing great with bathing and doing nails but outside of work hours I’m supposed to be doing online courses to learn grooming.
One of the reasons I wanted to get into dog grooming was because I’m very bad at school (because of adhd and learning disorders) and wanted something I can learn doing hands on work.
Before I can start doing grooming other than baths/nails, my job has me doing pretty thorough online courses and I’m kind of struggling. This includes taking lots of notes, writing essays, and taking short quizzes.
How important is online learning for groomers? Is being bad at this a sign grooming might not be right for me or do I just need to get through it?
