Become a qualified microchip implanter

Microchip Implanter Training

The ChipHERO DEFRA-compliant course is well established and has successfully qualified and supported countless implanters. We have various traing locations nationally, along with the option of being trained in your own home.

Our main classroom is located in Epworth, Doncaster where we offer a unique, DEFRA-complaint course, with ongoing support for all our implanters. We even provide work experience to those wanting to build confidence and experience a busy vaccine clinic. The Doncaster course is just £150. Book your place today.

For a home training session email [email protected] with your name, postcode and availability and we will get back to you.

Whether you are a breeder, looking to microchip your own litters, or you would like to build a business microchipping for others, our aim is to educate, not to sell microchips or to sign you up to our database. We want to give you the tools to make your own informed decision, that is best suited to your needs.

If you do decide to sign up with ChipHERO we can register you the same day and send you home with free chips. We will provide details of our generous commission and incentives.

Course Structure

The course consists of a theory section and a practical element. Courses are taught in small groups or on a one-to-one basis, in a friendly, relaxed environment. It is important to us that we are able to train in small groups to ensure we go at a pace you’re comfortable with.

We are here to support your goals and to ensure you leave us feeling confident. Once the course is completed, we are here to offer support and answer questions anytime.

Note: If you have any special needs that may require additional support we will happily accommodate them where possible. If you need support with the written portion of the test we can provide someone to work one-on-one with you.

Cats

The course will cover the theory of microchipping for both cats and dogs, however we are only able to provide access to puppies to chip for the practical element on the day. To qualify to microchip cats as well, simply book an appointment to come in with 2 cats that can be microchipped and we will observe you implant them and issue you with your cat qualification. There is no additional charge for this.

Upcoming Course Dates

Regular courses are held monthly in Doncaster and can be booked online. If you need to come at another time or location, please email [email protected] to discuss your requirements.

YOUR DONCASTER INSTRUCTOR - Emma Clarkson

I am so excited to share this course with you! I put this training course together personally and had it approved by DEFRA.

I am the owner/founder of Fair Hero Fertility; a successful clinic and cryobank, shipping frozen canine semen around the world. I am a licensed breeder and have produced a UK and International Champion, so I understand the needs of breeders and implanters.

I am passionate about what I do and am a firm believer that we all have to start somewhere. For me, every day is a learning day, and I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for what I do with you. Your success is my success, so know I am always here to help x
