So, what is happening in my doggy life? Ava is good, she hates the cold and it is very cold here!! And, we have been taking care of a doggy named Zeke for about 2 weeks now. He is a very sweet mixed breed, my husband and I are thinking Lab/ Vizsla cross, he points when you take him for walks, super cute! He gets along well with the kids and the furry kids. He is super smart and very trainable! His only pitfalls, slight separation anxiety and he pulls on the leash. Both of these issues can be dealt with, the leash pulling more easily than the separation anxiety. He occasionally annoys CC cat, but nothing over the top.

Okay! Now down to the nitty gritty, Holly & Hugo, I just completed Module 1. It was about the history of grooming and some tips on starting your own grooming business. The history was pretty interesting. I didn't really know much about when dog grooming came about. I didn't think there was enough information an I would have loved to know more about certain facts they had in the section. I thought the content was very easy to learn. The part on making your own business a success/ marketing your business was informative, but a lot of info I already knew. Again, I think it could have been a little more in depth. So I thought all the information was good, but I would have liked to know more all around, perhaps in future sections it will delve deeper into subjects. That said, I took notes while going through my module, the module is like a slide show, then when I completed my module, I did the exercises. I felt confident because I thought the material was simple, so I decided I was ready for the exam. I ended up with a 89.29% and I was pretty disappointed. I think for the next section I will study a little harder. So although I thought it was going to be very easy, it was not as easy as I expected it to be. It took me about 1.5 hours for this section so not too bad for time,
Initial sign up for Holly & Hugo is simple. You have 45 days to complete the course once you start, but you can purchase an extension. So far I see no reason why I would need an extension unless an unforeseen situation arose. You need a 55% per module to receive your certificate. You can retake each module once if you fail. Each module has the study slide show, exercises, and then an exam. I like the set up so far. I like that you can go at your own pace too. I will update my feelings on the course as I move on.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am considering taking a course through Holly and Hugo. I wanted to see how you are doing? Is the certificate good for starting your own business? I was not sure if they were accredited or not. Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Chelsie
I finished it in 5 days, I really need to write an update. It was interesting. I got it as a groupon for $19. It says they are accredited through ICOES, the International Council for Online Educational Standard. I am not sure how legitimate that accreditation is. I think it is good information and was worth the groupon, but I think as far as grooming goes, you are going to have to get some hands on learning as well. Maybe if you do the course and then contact some local groomers, they will take you under their wing as an apprentice.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am also looking into taking this course. Where you able to get a dog grooming job with that certificate and how much was the hard copy to be mailed to you?
Thank you,
Yareny
