Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to complete each block?
Each course (Block 4 and Block 5) runs over 18 months - with 12 months of structured content, followed by 6 months to complete your practical assessments. It’s all designed to support you through your early years in the industry, at a pace that works alongside real grooming work.
What if I fall behind?
You’ll have 18 months of access per block — plenty of time to complete the content and assessments, even if life gets busy along the way.
How do the practical assessments work?
Block 4 assessments (5 total) can be completed via video. Block 5 includes 4 advanced assessments that need to be completed in person — at a grooming competition, with an approved assessor, or at igroomschool HQ. We're working to make assessments as accessible as possible, with options around Australia.
Are there extra costs for assessments?
There may be a small additional fee for in-person practical assessments, depending on your location and the assessor. We’ll guide you through your options when you’re ready and help you find the best pathway.
What’s included in the price?
Your enrolment includes both Blocks 4 + 5, monthly learning content, access to expert feedback, and a Pro Membership to igroomhub (valued at $349/year). You’ll also get full revision access to Blocks 1–3 theory via igroomhub — so you’re never left guessing.
When should I start Blocks 4 + 5?
These courses are designed to follow Blocks 1–3. You can enrol now to lock in your graduate pricing - and the course begins as soon as you do, with your first units released straight away.
That said, there’s no pressure to dive in immediately. If you need a breather after Block 3, take it. The content is paced monthly, and you can always catch up down the track in a month or so when you’re ready and settled into working life.
What kind of support do I get during the course?
You’ll have access to marking, feedback pitstops, and guidance through the course platform, plus your Pro Membership gives you access to extra tutorials and learning resources on igroomhub. We’re here to help you stay on track and keep developing your skills in the real world.
What if I change my mind or need to pause?
We don’t offer refunds once enrolled, as the course includes access to protected content and your igroomhub Pro Membership. But your course access remains active, so if life gets in the way, you can pause and come back when you’re ready.
