What happens if I don't pass the practical test the first time?

Practitioners who don't attain the safety standard required on the first practical test, are welcome to take a Supplementary Practical Course Test (SPCT) on the same day. 

The format for the SPCT is similar to the Initial Practical Test but with two examiners and a model.

Students are required to demonstrate safe needling practice of muscles included in the Muscle Safety Grid.

The focus of the SPCT consists of surface anatomy, needling direction, caution points and the referral pattern for the relevant muscle. 

A video recording of the SPCT will be taken to provide feedback for students, ensure testing consistency and provide evidence in case of disputes.

Our goal is to provide all students with the confidence to apply the safest Dry Needling techniques to help their patients. We support all students by providing them with practical training and theoretical knowledge, prior to and during the Practical course.

Our support assists all students in achieving their goal of delivering safe Dry Needling practice, gaining progressive confidence and achieving greater efficacy with experience.

If I don't pass the Supplementary Practical Course Test (SPCT)?

If a practitioner does not pass the Supplementary Practical Course Test, they can enrol & complete the Supplementary Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling Course.

This means enrolling & completing the Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling Course again which includes completing all online theory modules & the practical course again.

The cost of enrolling in the Supplementary Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling Course is £175.

How do I enrol in a Supplementary Dry Needling Course?

There's a practical test on Sunday afternoon to ensure every practitioner is safe to use Dry Needling Therapy.

We try to make the environment as relaxed as possible.

Any questioned asked at the test will have been covered in the course.

Presenters will be assessing practitioners safe needling handling throughout the day.

What to expect:

Practitioners are expected to know the names of all muscles covered and their action.

All practitioners will be asked to demonstrate safe needling to the upper trapezius muscle.

Each practitioner will also pick 1-2 muscles out of a bag and asked questions about the needling technique for that muscle, including the name, location, surface anatomy, referral pattern, caution points and direction of needling.

Every question asked will relate to muscle surface anatomy & safe needling techniques taught at the practical course so make sure you take good notes throughout the day. 

In addition, your practical skills will also be assessed throughout the practical course to ensure you maintain a safe standard of practice.

Please note: CPD Health Courses reserves the right to video all practical examinations. The purpose of recording the practical examination is to provide important feedback to practitioners about their performance. The practical examination video recordings will be made available to the therapists on request (Terms & Conditions).

Top 5 reasons why therapists choose CPD Health Courses for their Dry Needling training:

1. We have a 100% Safety Record after training more than 5000 Manual Therapists around the world.
2. Presenter Dr Wayne Mahmoud is a highly experienced Osteopath and has a Master’s degree in Acupuncture.
3. He is a Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist (CMTPT), having completed a 120-hour Dry Needling Training Program by Myopain Seminars (USA). In addition, he has more than 36 years & 10,000 hours of clinical and teaching experience, having taught at the British School of Osteopathy, RMIT University & Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia.
   Dr Mahmoud has presented Dry Needling courses in the UK, Kuwait, Egypt, Dubai, India, Australia and New Zealand. He was invited to present at the Tenth World Congress on Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Bangalore, India, in 2017.
4. The CPD HC Dry Needling Course teaches the high caution needling areas such as Upper Trapezius, using a 1:1 Presenter to Student ratio. This teaching method provides therapists with the confidence they need to apply the needling techniques safely and effectively.
5. We use HD quality videos recorded in a studio to demonstrate the Dry Needling techniques, so all practitioners have an equal opportunity to see the techniques on a large screen.
6. No one is asked to be a model for demonstration purposes; this reduces participant fatigue at this high contact practical course. You’ll have access to the technique videos used at the practical course as soon as you enrol, making sure that you’re prepared and high in confidence.
7. Practitioners are offered access to our Video Training Site (VTS). You can choose from over 350 video clips as part of a regularly updated online content library. The site allows practitioners to ask Dr Wayne Mahmoud any questions about needling techniques, safety practices, patient presentations and more.

That's great to hear you're interested in joining the Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling Course.

You can download the Muscle Safety Grid which is the go-to document for the practical course.

The Muscle Safety Grid includes the Caution points, Needle directions, Grips and Referral patterns for each muscle.
 
These are then covered again in detail at the practical course.
 
There's a practical test on Sunday afternoon, to ensure practitioners can apply the needling techniques safely, after course completion.

They are a reference so when you attend the practical course you have some idea of the patterns when needling particular muscles. We will go over all these again at the practical course.

It's a good idea to cross reference the Muscle Safety Grid information with the Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling practical course handout notes which you should download, print and bring to the practical course.

Both of these are available on the 'My Courses' page.

After studying the above you'll be well prepared for the practical course.

The MOST important thing to do after completing the online theory program, is to concentrate on studying and remembering the DN Introductory Muscle Safety Grid.

This is the go-to-documents for the practical course.

Where do I find the Muscle Safety Grid?

The Muscle Safety Grids can be downloaded from the Course Downloads section of your online theory program.

Please log in to your 'My Courses' page (where you've completed your theory) and look at the practical course checklist on the left hand side.

Please ensure you have downloaded & completed the Muscle Safety Grid and bring it to the course.

You can download the Muscle Safety Grids by logging in and clicking the 'My Courses' button under 'My Account'.

Then click Start or Resume your online theory - then click Practical Course Downloads.

All therapists are required to confirm that they meet the English Language Requirements before they enrol into a CPD Health Courses training course.

This document is available for all students to read and discuss before paying for the course. It details the English Language requirements for both the online theory and the practical course. 

The document concludes by asking all therapists to ensure that they are clear about the English Language requirements and suggests that if a therapist is in any doubt they should contact us, so we can assist in making the right decision about the suitability to attend this course.

The 80-Hour Dry Needling Course for RMTs is divided into two parts; an online theory program and a practical course, which must be completed in one weekend.

Therapists attending the practical course are required to successfully complete a Practical Course Test on Saturday afternoon, at the end of Part-1 of the course (DN Introdctory), in order to attend Part-2 (DN Advanced).

Successful completion of the Practical Course test ensures that all therapists are safe and competent with respect to the surface and clinical anatomy, caution points, grips, needling directions and referral patterns for key muscles taught at the course.

The Practical Test is conducted using commonly used anatomical and medical terms in English. There is no provision for therapists to take the Test in another language, other than English or to use a translator.

Therapists must be able to demonstrate a strong understanding and command of the English Language in a written and spoken form, not only during the Practicaal Test, but also during the practical course demonstrations. 

They must also be able to understand, apply, explain and pronounce commonly used medical terminology to demonstrate safe Dry Needling practice and management of adverse events.

Given that the CPD HC Dry Needling courses are presented in Australia, an English speaking country, therapists must be able to understand patients who speak English.

Patients, clients or customers quite rightly expect their treating practitioner will be able to understand and communicate with them in Australia's national language.

Common scenarios which mandate the use of English include:

• Patients who present with adverse events following Dry Needling Therapy treatment
• Communication with other therapists, including medical and allied health professionals
• Reading, comprehending and applying information such as medical reports, previous medical history, medication, x-ray reports, treatment plans and scan reports

We're really looking forward to meeting you at the Dry Needling Course.

As you've recently enrolled in the course, soon you'll receive a Reminder & Final Reminder email with extra information about the Dry Needling course.

These emails are usually sent to practitioners at an earlier date. We're sending them to you now so you have all the information before joining the practical course.

See you soon :))
