Benefits of AUA membership…

By becoming a full member of the AUA, you:

• Will be listed an AUA approved scanner, allowing clients to instantly verify your credentials. This differentiates you from untrained or inexperienced individuals in your area
• Will be able to access training and continued development videos and articles, as well as heavily discounted attendance at future courses, keeping you at the forefront of your industry
• Have your own space on the AUA website, to upload your images and videos to share with your clients. This is not only convenient for you, but also gives your business a professional finish – another way of delivering excellent service. It also builds your presence on the web, as clients will share your links with their friends and family, and search engines will begin to pick up your content when people in your area search for a scanner
• Receive marketing support from the AUA: All full members’ businesses are advertised and promoted by the AUA, generating new leads for your business. We can improve your search engine rank further still if you use your membership area and share your scans
• Will become part of an exclusive community of serious scanning professionals
• Will have access to exclusive discounts on products and services, such as breakdown cover and consumables.

Only those who have completed level 1 and 2 canine ultrasound training, and/or are a DEFRA-approved cattle scanner, may become full members. Once you join, we will contact you to verify your eligibility, which will involve submission of your work. If for any reason you are not eligible for membership, your membership fee will be refunded in full (or you may decide to become a partial member in the meantime, as you work towards your full membership).

If you have not completed the prerequisite training, but perhaps are planning to and want to join our community to further your knowledge, partial membership is the option for you. Partial members may:

• Join the AUA Facebook group
• Access exclusive member-only articles and training
• Access discounts on products and services

Partial members do not have their own listing in the database until they become full members. Partial members may not display the AUA logo or advertise themselves to the public as AUA members.
