Bone Idol Academy | Brighton & Hove East Sussex | Accessible from Lewes, Hastings, Crawley Newhaven, Worthing, Lancing and West Sussex

All Bone Idol dog grooming qualifications, training courses, workshops and seminars are taught in our new academy in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex.

 

Each of these is also designed with the dogs and our students in mind, in order to create the happiest atmosphere and most comfortable learning experience available from any of the training centres found in the UK.

 

We think it’s important to learn in a relaxed atmosphere, with a small number of students in every class to ensure you receive as much guidance from your tutor as possible, and to provide you with a greater opportunity to have all your questions answered.

 

We provide valuable hands-on skills practice in our training room, which runs alongside our main grooming salon. This gives you the opportunity to observe qualified groomers at work and to see how a successful salon operates.

 

All of the dogs that you will groom during your course have gone through checks to ensure they are happy to be groomed by students under our supervision and guidance.

 

Throughout the dog grooming training course, we aim to give you hands-on experience with one or two dogs each day (with assistance from your tutor when required). This means you’ll get as much from your course as possible, because you will be learning the correct styling techniques from start to finish.

 

The Bone Idol Academy is also surrounded by a wide variety of bakeries, coffee shops, cafes and other amenities, so if you ever need to nip out for something sweet, a little treat or to run some errands, you will be in the right place!

 

Placed in the heart of Hove the new dog grooming qualification & training facility is easily accessible by car, train and other public transport from West Sussex, East Sussex and beyond. Including Crawley, Gatwick and London, as well as Hastings and Eastbourne. Busses connect Hove with Portslade, Worthing and Lancing in West Sussex and also with Newhaven & Lewes in East Sussex.

 

Brighton & Hove at its heart is a blend of cosmopolitan bohemia. This historic Victorian city is situated at the southern foot of the South Downs, where rolling chalk hills meet the sea. A vibrant and fully of life city, that celebrates diversity, education, arts, and more while retaining community spirit and widespread friendliness, all despite being the largest city in the south east of England.
