Grooming School shocking truth!!

GOOD DAY EVERYBODY AND GOOD DAY MR. MODERATOR, I TRUST MY POST IS HARMLESS AND DOES NOT HOLD ANY DEFAMATORY INTENTION INSTEAD PRESENTING A SHOCKING TRUTH TO ALL GROOMERS AND READERS IN OUR KIND MALAYSIAN WEATHER AND ENVIRONMENT;

SHOCKING ISSUE NO. 1

AS A PRO-TEM MEMBER SERVING IN THE MALAYSIAN PET GROOMERS ASSOCIATION, I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH NATIONAL DOG GROOMERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (NDGAA) AND INTERNATIONAL PROFFESIONAL GROOMERS (IPG) AND THIS IS THE SHOCKING TRUTH I FOUND;

THERE ARE ONLY 2 NDGAA MASTER GROOMER IN THE WHOLE OF ASIA, A SINGAPOREAN WHO OPERATES A MOBILE GROOMING IN AMERICA (NOT IN SINGAPORE WHO I DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION NAMING HER) AND MS GLORIA HO, RESIDING IN SINGAPORE WHO DOES NOT CONDUCT GROOMING LESSONS BUT OPERATES A REPUTABLE PET BOUTIQUE AT HOLLAND GROVE ROAD. THERE IS ONLY 1 IPG MASTER GROOMER THAT CAME TO MY ATTENTION, MS AMY AND SHE OPENS A PET SALON IN SINGAPORE NEAR ORCHARD ROAD AND NOT A SCHOOL. I VISITED PERSONALLY ALL OF THE SAID PET SALONS RECENTLY.

SO, MY HUMBLE CONCLUSION IS THAT NONE OF THE STUDENTS TRAINED ARE DIRECTLY TAUGHT BY NDGAA MASTER GROOMER WHICH IS SO HIGHLY CLAIMED BY SOME SCHOOLS IN MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE. BUT RESEARCH SHOWN THAT MALAYSIA DO HAVE CERTIFIED MASTER GROOMER FROM CANADA AND THAILAND.

SHOCKING ISSUE NO. 2

I CAME ACROSS A WEB SITE WHICH OPERATES A GROOMING SCHOOL IN PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA AND IT IS SHOCKING THAT THE LOGO OF NDGAA AND IPG WHICH IS COPYRIGHTED WERE USED IN THEIR WEB SITE AND BROCHURE WITHOUT PRIOR PERMISSION FROM THE SAID ASSOCIATION (INFO OBTAINED FROM BOTH THE ORGANISATION). THE GROOMING SCHOOL CLAIMED THAT THE INSTRUCTORS ARE CERTIFIED GROOMERS OF NDGAA AND IPG. BY VIRTUE OF THE INSTRUCTORS NEVER EVEN BEEN TO AMERICA AND NAMES NOT APPEARING IN THE NDGAA AND IPG MASTER GROOMER LIST RAISED DOUBTS OF ITS GENUINITY. I PERCEIVED THAT ONCE THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION IS AWARE OF THIS FRAUD, ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN AGAINST THE GROOMING SCHOOL. BEING A MEMBER OF NDGAA WHICH EVERYONE ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE FAR EXCEEDS THE CLAIMS OF BEING ONE "CERTIFIED BY IT".

AGAIN, IN CONCLUSION, NO GROOMING INSTRUCTOR IN MALAYSIA ARE CERTIFIED BY NDGAA ACCEPT ONE IN SUBANG JAYA WHO HAS ENROLLED INTO THE LIST OF NDGAA MASTER GROOMER PROGRAM THROUGH MALAYSIAN PET GROOMERS ASSOCIATION .

MY VIEW ONLY

TODAY, WITH THE AFFLUENT, INTERNET SAVY AND INFORMED SOCIETY, IT IS SHOCKING TO KNOW THAT THERE STILL EXIST SOME INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATION WHO PREYS ON IGNORANT BYSTANDERS WITH THE HOPE TO BECOME A CERTIFIED PET GROOMER.

I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ALERT FELLOW STUDENTS TO ASK THEIR PROSPECTIVE SCHOOL OR INSTRUCTORS THEIR BACKGROUND, YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND INSIST TO SEE THEIR PAPER QUALIFICATION. THOSE WHO STAND PROUD OF THEIR QUALIFICATION WILL HANG THEIR PAPER TESTIMONIAL TALL ON THE WALL FOR EASY VIEWING AND IS EASILY NOTICABLE. GROOMING SCHOOL CLAIMING TO BE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED IS LEADING STUDENTS TO A GREY AND FUZZY LINE OF ITS DEFINITION, EVEN OUR GREAT UNIVERSITI MALAYA IS NOT INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED! WITH THE CONCEPTION OF A NEW PRO-TEM GROOMERS ASSOCIATION UNDER MALAYSIA REGISTRAR OF SOCIETY, IT IS A BLESSING THAT MORE ATTENTION AND GUIDELINES WILL BE DRAWN UP FOR GROOMERS IN TIME TO COME.

GREETINGS & KUDOS TO ALL....
