​

Note: 

1) In the event that the model dog becomes unavailable due to illness and the groomer is unable to secure a replacement at the last minute, resulting in a need to withdraw from the examination, the groomer must submit a

formal withdrawal request along with supporting documentation. Entry fees will only be considered for carry forward

if the withdrawal is supported by:

a. A valid medical certificate from a licensed medical doctor if the groomer is unwell; or

​b. A veterinary letter from a registered veterinarian stating that the model dog is unfit for use due to natural illness or common sickness.

​

If the veterinary letter does not clearly state that the model dog is unfit for use due to a natural illness or common sickness, the entry fee may be forfeited. However, any certificate fee paid will be refunded upon request or may be carried forward to the next examination. Any fees carried forward must be utilized by the next examination; otherwise, fees will be refunded accordingly thereafter.

 

2) Should there be a need to change the model dog, please inform at least one week prior to the exam date. This advance notice is essential to allow adequate time for preparation and to ensure a fair and transparent certification process.

​

3) In the event that the groomer is unable to attend the grooming certification due to medical reasons, a valid medical certificate issued by a licensed medical doctor must be submitted. The entry fee $150 will be carried forward to the next available grooming certification and must be utilized by then; otherwise the entry fee will be forfeited.

Groomers are advised that once the entry is confirmed, there will be strictly no refund for withdrawal. The certificate fee will be refunded upon request. However, if the medical certificate issued by the doctor clearly states that the groomer is medically unfit to participate for a minimum period of six (6) months, SKC will consider refunding the entry fee accordingly.

​
