About Course

The Advanced Case Study Mentorship course is designed to teach you how to apply your learning from the Introductory Science course to actual pets in your home or salon. It includes one-on-one training and support from one of our academy educators to assist you with your own case studies. These case studies will include 3 maintenance baths (one for each coat type) and 2 restoration case studies. Your mentor will help you through the full process of asking the right questions, designing the best restoration plan for that individual, reviewing medical records and making adjustments throughout the process as needed. You will be required to check in with your mentor weekly to track your progress and to ensure adjustments can be made if needed. Our goal is to walk with you through every aspect of these case studies so you can ask questions and learn through real life situations. This course will help you to start building your portfolio and document your progress
