Yes. There are MCQ's after each online theory module. Practitioners need to pass these modules to move onto the next module. There's also an informal practical test on Sunday afternoon to ensure all practitioners are safe to use the DN techniques. We try to make the environment as relaxed as possible. After enrollment we provide a document that gives you a very good idea of the sort of questions you may be asked (Preparing for your Practical course). Every question asked will have been taught on the practical course so make sure you take good notes throughout the day. The test is not just based on answering 1 or 2 questions at the end of the day! Presenters are assessing & watching each practitioner throughout the day, looking for safe needle handling.

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

The main reason a practitioner may not pass the practical test is due to not being able to show safety in applying the techniques. Like any other skill in life, some practitioners just need more time to master a skill so we give every practitioner the opportunity to try again. If a practitioner does not reach the standard required, they have the opportunity to complete the course again (Supplementary). This involves re-enrolling and completing the theory program plus the Saturday & Sunday practical again. The cost of this Supp is £150.00 

Most practitioners who join the Supp, pass the test. They then gain their Certificate of Completion and can use DN in their clinic the next day. When enrolling, please ensure you enrol early enough to leave time to complete the theory modules & then go through the sample practical questions before joining the practical. We generally find that practitioners who haven't rushed through the theory modules usually do well.

Yes. There MCQ's after each theory module. Practitioners need to attain between 100% to move onto the next module. You can attempt the MCQ's as many times as you like.

Here are the most likely causes for your online theory issues: 

Internet Speed: Your internet speed is slow. To be able to view all the module slides, listen to the voiceovers & watch the video content you need a moderate to fast internet speed. Your download speed should be at least 3-5 Megabits per second. You can check your internet speed by here. If your internet speed is less than our recommendation you should try and connect to a faster network eg home/work/friend/library/university/college. Another reason could be that you're connecting to the internet using a wireless connection. A wireless connection is significantly slower than a direct connection using a LAN cable to your modem. 

Recommended Browser: You may not be using our recommended browser. Please use Chrome to access & complete your online theory.

The informal practical test on Sunday afternoon is all about ensuring practitioners are safe to use the DN techniques. After enrollment we provide a document that gives you a very good idea of the sort of questions you may be asked (Preparing for your Practical course). Occasionally a practitioner does not pass the practical test. This is often due to lack of pre-course preparation (rushing through the theory/ not taking enough time to study all the information provided). We find that practitioners who start their online theory program well before the practical course commencement are well prepared for the informal practical test. If a practitioner is unsuccessful in passing the test they can join a Supplementary course.

We understand that public transport/ trafic congestion can delay your journet to the practical course. Please call us if you know you are going to be late.
