"I’ve absolutely loved doing my Level 2 Dog Grooming course at the Brooksby Campus with Donna, it’s a testament to her that I just want to carry on and she has definitely helped ignite a passion in me! On the first day when we did an equipment PowerPoint, I didn’t even know what a slicker was, and now, here I am with 93% in the exam at the end of the course! (Still buzzing from that!)."
