Who it serves
Groomers, veterinary staff, boarding teams, rescue and shelter professionals, support staff, leaders, and experienced learners who need a common TANDEM vocabulary before role specialization.
What it does not do
Foundations does not certify a learner as a groomer or verify hands-on handling competence. It establishes prerequisite knowledge and a shared decision framework.
