The iPET Network Level 2 End-Point Assessment (EPA) for Dog Groomer is the final assessment for Apprentices completing the Level 2 Dog Groomer Standard. This assessment is designed to evaluate that Apprentices have developed the knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to work competently and safely as professional dog groomers.

The EPA includes a combination of practical and professional assessments that reflect real-world dog grooming scenarios. Apprentices are assessed on their ability to carry out grooming techniques on a dog, ensure animal welfare, and maintain a safe, clean, and compliant working environment. In addition to technical skills, the EPA evaluates professionalism, communication with clients, and the ability to work effectively within a team.

Successfully passing the iPET Network Level 2 EPA confirms that Apprentices are fully prepared to work as competent, confident, and industry-ready Dog Groomers.
