The sooner you enrol, the more time you'll have to complete the modules before practical course commencement.

The 34-hr Medical Acuncture & DN course is made up of an 18-hr Online Theory Program followed by a 16-hr face to face practical course.

That means if you have time to study for 2-hrs per week, you'll complete the theory program in about 9 weeks.

This means when you enrol, you should pick a practical course that commences in a minimum of 9-weeks time. 

If you study for 4-hrs per week, you'll complete the program in about 5 weeks so pick a practical course that's at least 5 weeks from the day you enrol.

When enrolling, please choose a practical course that will give you enough time to complete all the modules before attending the practical.

If you have full time work, a busy family life or you take a little longer to learn, then please choose a practical course that will give you more time to complete the modules.

The online theory takes approximately 16-hrs to complete. We recommend practitioners enrol no less than 1 week proior to practical course commencement.

Apologies for the confusion - there is no 'Module 7'.

The Advanced modules (Modules 1-6) start after completing the Introductory modules (Modules 1-6).

Please continue working through the Advanced theory modules to complete the Intro & Advanced online theory program.

There's an informal practical test on Sunday afternoon to ensure practitioners are safe to use the DN techniques.

Muscle Safety Grid:

The most important thing to do after completing the online theory program is to concentrate on the Muscle Safety Grid, which we provide as part of the online learning. 

The  Muscle Safety Grid includes the Caution points, Needle directions, Grips and Referral patterns for each muscle with a caution point. These are covered again at the practical course.

1. We don't expect practitioners to remember referral pattens off by heart before joining the practical course. 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.

2. The most important thing to do after completing the online theory program is to concentrate on the Muscle Safety Grid, taking note of & remembering the Caution points, Needle directions & Grips for each muscle on that grid. We will go over & teach all these again at the practical.

3. We don't expect practitioners to know the grips before joining the practical course, but you'll find it easier to remember them when we teach you these at the practical course if you have some idea of names before attending the practical. We will go over & teach all these at the practical.

4. It's a good idea to cross reference the Muscle Safety Grid information with the 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.

5. Please ensure you login to our Video Training Site & watch the training videos we've specially prepared to help you get ready for your course & the practical test.

Use your email address as your username & your first name (all lower case) as your password.

5. Please watch the 'How to Prepare for your Practical Course' video on the 'My Courses' page.

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

Unfortunately not. This course is accredited according to completing a specific number hours of training.

All practitioners need to attend the whole course in order to receive their Certificate of Completion.

If I fail the practical test, can I take the test again on the same day?

Yes. 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. 

Supplementary Practical Course Test (SPCT):

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.

Students who do not reach the required standard during the Practical Course Test will be offered 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.

We strongly recommend that all students review and familiarise themselves with the answers to the Sample Questions list. The list is available on the "My Courses" page and will help you prepare for the Practical Course Test.

What happens if I don't pass the Supplementary Practical Course Test (SPCT)?

If a practitioner does not reach the safety standard required to use Dry Needling Therapy after completing the Supplementary Practical Course Test (SPCT), they're welcome to join the Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling Supplementary Course at a reduced price of £175.

This means enrolling & completing the Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling online theory & practical course again.

You can enrol in the next available practical course if you wish. The online theory modules will need to be completed again (please see our Terms & Conditions).

Please add the following discount code when enrolling in the Supplementary course: UKSUPP. Please click HERE to Enrol.

Please click this link: Course Description

The number of practitioners attending a practical course varies from course to course and location to location.

We use an average teaching ratio of 1:5 Presenter / Practioner or less.

We teach the high caution needling areas using a 1:1 Presenter to Student ratio. 

This teaching method provides therapists with the confidence they need to be able to apply the needling techniques safely and effectively.

Every course location allows for different numbers, depending on the size of the practical room. We have several experienced presenters so we base our numbers on student: practitioner ratios (6:1 presenter / practitioner needling ratio).

That's not a problem. We normally have enough portable plinths / pillows but sometimes need a couple extra so we do a call out.

If you can't bring one, we usually have other practitioners who can.

If possible please bring a towel to the practical course.

Our Top 10 Safety Facts:

1. We have a 100% Safety Record after training more than 4,500 Manual Therapists, ensuring that everyone attending our Dry Needling courses are taught the safest needling techniques.

2. Our Dry Needling courses are recognised by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). This recognition means that we are acknowledged for the quality education and training we provide by Australia’s largest professional general practice organisation.

3. Director, Dr Wayne Mahmoud is a highly experienced Osteopath and has a Masters Degree in Acupuncture. 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 30 years’ clinical and teaching experience, having taught at RMIT University & Victoria University. Dr Mahmoud has presented Dry Needling courses in the United Kingdom, Kuwait, Egypt, Dubai, India, New Zealand, and was invited to present at the Tenth World Congress on Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Bangalore, India in 2017.

4. All our presenters have completed a two-year training program, under the guidance of Dr Wayne Mahmoud. Our Presenter Training Program (PTP) provides Manual Therapists that attend our Dry Needling courses the assurance of consistent training practices based on safe dry needling practice.

5. Our presenter team includes Medical Doctors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Remedial Massage Therapists who have completed their training with CPD Health Courses. All of our presenters have a shared passion for Dry Needling practice, a love of teaching, and a goal to help students achieve their best at every course they present.

6. Every course commences with a Safety Review presentation summarising the safety procedures and emphasising safe needling practice. This review focuses on all of our key safety concepts, strategies and protocols taught at the practical course.

7. Our Dry Needling courses teach the high caution needling areas using a 1:1 Presenter to Student ratio. This teaching method provides therapists with the confidence they need to be able to apply the needling techniques they’ve learned safely and effectively. 

8. We use HD quality video recorded in a studio to present all of the needling techniques and practices so that our teaching is consistent, all participants can see every technique clearly, and no one is asked to be a model for demonstration purposes. This delivery method also reduces participant fatigue at a high contact practical course like Dry Needling.

9. We listen to participant’s feedback. Every practitioner is asked to complete a course evaluation form that provides us with important feedback about how to improve and continue to raise the bar at our courses.

10. We offer all therapists access to our Dry Needling Video Training Site (Video Training Site) where they can choose from over 350 video clips as part of a regularly updated online content library. The site also provides users with access to Dr Wayne Mahmoud who is available to answer questions about needling techniques, safety practices, and patient presentations. All the content that’s in the VTS is also available through the CPD Health Courses Free App (DN Video Training App - How to download from the App Store).
