Why Is Training Important?
Choosing and learning to use a new ultrasound machine is daunting. To be able to get the most out of your ultrasound machine, it is important to receive expert training and ongoing support. High-quality training in animal pregnancy scanning is difficult to find. Vet schools consider it too basic to teach their students (a misconception!), yet too complex to teach anybody outside of the veterinary profession. For this reason, expert training in the use of ultrasound has been inaccessible to the majority of people.
Our ultrasound training courses for breeders are taught by sonographers who have all been teaching ultrasound for small animal pregnancy scanning for the last ten years. Click here to book your place now.
Why Learn from a Sonographer?
A sonographer is somebody who has a postgraduate degree in Medical Ultrasound. This means that they have spent a minimum of 4 (not necessarily consecutive) years at university, and usually at least another 2 in clinical practice before they are able to obtain their accreditation. They must then maintain this accreditation by performing a certain number of clinical scans every year (usually over 500), and demonstrate their attendance at ultrasound courses and conventions.
What We Do
Our team began teaching ultrasound for pregnancy detection to veterinarians, vet nurses, and breeders in 2011. Over the years, our award-winning courses have evolved to encompass not only small domestic animals (cats and dogs) but also farm animals such as cows, goats, and sheep.
In 2018, we started offering online courses to make our training accessible to clients in North America. By 2019, the popularity of online teaching surpassed in-person sessions, a trend that has continued since.
Our Promise
- Teaching and support delivered by a Masters-level practicing sonographer.
