Question 2

I’m not sure which level to choose — Essential or Advanced. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Essential and Advanced are starting points, not strict divisions. We adapt content to your skills and confidence, ensuring training is always tailored to you.
You can take our quick Ultrasound Confidence Quiz to guide your choice.

Question 3

Where does the training take place?

Accepted Answer

All training is delivered directly at your practice. This means your team saves valuable time and avoids the expense of travelling to distant training centres. Another key advantage is that sessions are carried out on your own ultrasound machine, rather than on high‑end equipment that may not reflect daily reality. This ensures that everything learned can be applied immediately and practically in your practice, with no gap between training and real‑world use.

Question 4

What if our machine is older or basic?

Accepted Answer

With the exception of the Advanced Echocardiography course, that’s no problem. We’ll help you get the most from your current setup and show you how to optimise settings so you achieve the best possible images on the machine you already own and use every day.

If you’re in doubt, get in touch with the details of your current machine and probes available , we’ll be happy to advise.

Question 5

How many vets can take part in a session?

Accepted Answer

We recommend small groups of maximum 4–5 participants per session. This ensures plenty of hands‑on practice and personalised feedback. If needed, additional groups can be organised within the same day to accommodate larger teams.

Question 6

Is the training mostly practical?

Accepted Answer

Yes , the majority of time is spent scanning, with direct guidance and case‑based discussion.

Question 7

Do participants receive CPD accreditation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all participants receive CPD certificates, along with training notes and reference materials to support ongoing learning and the practical application of skills in daily practice.

Question 8

How much does the training cost?

Accepted Answer

Training fees depend on factors such as the format, number of participants, and travel. 
In most cases, the investment is quickly offset; for example, the revenue from just one additional ultrasound scan per week could cover the cost of your team’s training. 
We’ll provide a clear, no‑obligation quote with a simple ROI calculation once we understand your practice’s specific needs.

Question 9

How do I access the Members Area and how long does access last?

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive a password after attending your course. The Members Area includes notes, charts, case examples, mini‑guides, and instructions for submitting a case. Access is ongoing with no expiry, and new resources are added periodically.

Question 10

Can I send ultrasound images for feedback after the course?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can email images or short clips with a brief summary for technique‑focused guidance. Feedback covers probe handling, view acquisition, and image optimisation. It does not include diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment advice. This service is not suitable for urgent or emergency cases.

Question 11

Is there a subscription fee or membership cost for ongoing support?

Accepted Answer

Unlike membership-based platforms, there's nothing to renew, cancel, or pay monthly for. Once you've trained with us, you're supported for as long as you need.

Question 12

What ongoing support do you get after your ultrasound course?

Accepted Answer

After your course, you get ongoing access to the Members Area at no extra cost. You can review course notes, clinical charts, case examples, mini-guides and technique tips whenever you need them. You can also email images or short clips for personalised feedback on your scanning technique. There’s no expiry, no renewal and no monthly fee, so you can keep building confidence in practice.

We offer a range of mattress sizes to suit different procedures and patients. If your clinic has specific requirements, contact us to discuss your needs.

Question 20

How long will my order take to arrive?

Accepted Answer

Most items are made to order and prepared individually, so in some cases delivery can take 2–3 weeks. Most orders arrive sooner, but we set this expectation upfront so there are no surprises.

Question 21

Do veterinary echo cardio table mattresses and positioners improve patient comfort?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ergonomic design provides stable, comfortable support, reducing tension and helping patients remain calm during scanning or procedures.
Many abdominal and cardiac scans can be performed without sedation, if the patient is well supported and feels secure.

Patient Comfort Isn’t Optional - It’s Diagnostic

Question 22

Can I return an item if it’s not suitable?

Accepted Answer

Yes,  we accept returns within 14 days for items that are unused, unmarked, and in their original condition. Because our mattresses and positioners are made to order, they must be completely clean and free from hair or clinical contamination. Custom colours or custom‑size items are non‑returnable. Return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility unless the item is faulty.

Question 23

How long does a training session usually take?

Accepted Answer

Course length depends on the topic, your team size and how much hands-on scanning you’d like to cover. Most sessions are planned around your practice’s needs, so we’ll agree a format that gives you enough time for practical scanning, discussion and questions without rushing.
