Meet the Tutors
Both tutors, Jenny Hale and Karina Kerrigan, have extensive knowledge and practical experience working with canines and animals of all shapes and sizes.
Karina now focuses on those beginning their career as Dog Groomers. Jenny focuses on those wishing to hone and improve their skills through the Progressive Progression Academy. Originally they met more than 30 years ago while working as veterinary nurses in a busy Dublin practice. Even at that stage they had prior experiences within various animal related fields. Since those days their separate career paths have shared a common theme moving into the realm of canine beauticians. Both originally self taught in this field, they have vigorously pursued personal growth in skills and knowledge both obtaining all the qualifications and accolades listed below left. |
