I was looking into this I qualified in 2000, but I was under the impression it had to be done under direction of a vet. So I am really confused. I bought the chips and scanner but haven't used them , I was gonna do a implanter course really just to keep things right.

I am not sure what the right answer is.

Hi, if you qualified prior to the 2015 microchipping law being passed then you legally entitled to chip. If you qualified and registered after this date then you cannot and must undertake the training course.

I do agree that the course may bring some confidence in the skill.

I would have thought as a RVN you already have the required skill set for Microchipping, If breeders can just buy and insert chips (smart chips) I don't see why you would not be able to. That said the college of animal welfare used to run half day microchipping courses, this was a qualification and maybe a better route to enable you to purchase and register chips with confidence.
