There's a practical test on Saturday 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.

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. 

Please click this link: If I don't pass the practical course test, can I have a re-test on the same day?

At the end of the Advanced practical there will be a short MCQ test that covers the most important information taught during the course.

Practitioners need to pass this in order to receive their Certificate of Completion. The pass mark is 10/15.

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).

Many thanks for letting us know.

We hope this helps answer your questions :))

I can't be needled. What should I do?

We understand under certain circumstances, a practitioner can not be a model for the dry needling techniques at the practical course.

If you can't be needled for ANY reason, please Contact Us at least 7-days before practical course commencement. Please see below.

You'll need to bring a friend / relative as you're model who you'll practice your needling techniques on throughout the whole practical course. 

Your model needs to attend the whole practical course. Your model can be anyone OTHER than a health practitioner. 

Please click HERE to download the consent form for you & your friend / model to sign.

You can either email the signed formed to us or bring it to the practical course (info@cpdhealthgcourses.com).

You can download the App for FREE by clicking Here.

Please click this link to download the completed DN Introductory Muscle Safety Grid.

You can download the App for FREE by clicking Here.

Here's the completed Muscle Safety Grid.

Congratulations on completing the DN online theory program :))

Now...The MOST important thing to do after completing the online theory program, is to concentrate on completing the Muscle Safety Grid.

1. Where do I find the Muscle Safety Grid?

The Muscle Safety Grid can be found on the Dry Needling Video Training App which is available from the App Store & Google Play store.

You can download the App for FREE by clicking Here.

2. What should I do next?

Please log in to your 'My Courses' page and watch the "How to Study for your Practical Course" video. 

The video explains how to download the Dry Needling Video Training App from the App Store & Google Play store.

It also provides you with the DN Intro Muscle Safety Grid Password that you'll need in order to access and download the completed Muscle Safety Grid on the Dry Needling Video Training App.

After installing the App on your phone or tablet, you can download the Safety Grid by clicking the icon in the top left corner of the page (small circle with 3 lines).

Scroll down the page & click 'Safety Grid Links'. Then add the password and the completed Safety Grid will appear.

3. Please download and print the DN Introductory Practical Course Handout Notes (and the Advanced Notes) and bring them to the practical course.

4. You also need to fill in your own Muscle Safety Grid using the Introductory Handout Notes. 

5. Please learn all the Caution points, Needle directions, Grips and Referral Patterns for each muscle in the DN Introductory Muscle Safety Grid (17 / 24 muscles from the Introductory practical course notes).

Once you have completed the Introductory Muscle Safety Grid and learnt the Caution points, Needle directions, Grips and Referral Patterns, you're ready for the practical course! 

We will teach you all this important information at the practical course but please come to the practical with a copy of the completed Muscle Safety Grid.

We don't expect practitioners to remember referral pattens off by heart before they join the practical. 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.

We don't expect practitioners to know the grips before they join the practical, but you'll find it easier to remember them if you have some idea of the names of the grips before attending the course. We will teach all these grips at the practical course.

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

Here are some other links that may be helpful:

The 80-hr DN Course doesn't need to be accredited by your association (ANTA) in order to gain PI Insurance after successful course completion.

The CPD HC 80-hr DN course is accredited / recommended by all other Massage Associations in Australia (5).

ANTA members and PI Insurance:

Following submissions to insurance brokers Arthur J Gallagher (AJG) about our safety standards and protocols, our 80-Hour Dry Needling Course became the Dry Needling course AJG recommends to policy holders.

It is because of this status and strong relationship we have with AJG that we have now secured a co-branded Professional Indemnity policy for you, as an ANTA Member who may completed our 80-Hour Dry Needling course.

Can I get a Dry Needling Therapy endorsement with my insurer after completing the CPD HC 80-Hr Course?

Yes. We've had many practitioners, including RMTs & Naturopaths who are members of ANTA, successfully complete our 80-hr Dry Needling course, gain a Dry Needling Therapy endorsement on their Certificate of Currency and start using Dry Needling Therapy the very next day.

Recently appointed ANTA Executive Officer, Jim Olds decided to withdraw the ANTA accreditation held by CPD HC for our Dry Needling course from 2013 - 2018.

According to Mr Olds, his decision was based on a recent increase in the number of reported adverse events following Dry Needling therapy by Remedial Massage Therapists. We were advised that in order for our 80-Hour Dry Needling course to be accredited by ANTA we must increase the practical course component from 20 to 60 hours.

Since being advised of this new policy we have been in discussions with Mr Olds and have tried to explain that his decision to request an increase in the face to face hours for our Dry Needling course is not the solution to the undeniable increase in Dry Needling adverse events.

Arthur J Gallagher: 

Well before ANTA became aware of an increase in Dry Needling incidents we took the initiative to contact Arthur J Gallagher, other major Group Insurers/Brokers, and the major professional associations about our concerns in 2017.

As the largest Dry Needling Education providers in Australia we became very concerned about some of the course standards, pre-requisite education, course content, presenter qualifications, and examination/testing protocols.

Throwing more face-to-face hours at a course doesn't make it safe and will not reduce the number of adverse events.

Evidence shows that it's much more important to ensure that a course has the following key components if it is to be deemed safe:

• The qualifications & experience of the education provider
• The training of the co-presenters
• The student to presenter ratio
• The testing & examination standards
• The content of the course and safety emphasis
• The anatomical knowledge of the presenter & required safe standard
• The way that demonstrations are presented
• Which muscles are covered during the course
• Which other professional associations accredit a course

What to do next: PI Insurance for Dry Needling Therapy:

The process of gaining cover is easy. Please contact AJG to discuss your insurance cover.

After course completion, AJG will send you an application form to complete so you can gain insurance to start needling and helping your clients. 

Other PI Insurers:

After successful completion of the 80-hr DN course, we send your Certificate of Completion that you send to your PI Insurer to gain a Dry Needling Therapy endorsement on your Certificate of Currency.

Some Insurance companies charge to add this endorsement whilst other do not.

Practicing Dry Needling after completing the CPD HC Dry Needling course:

As an EP/ SS, you're welcome to join the DN Introductory / or Intro & DN Advanced course.

Dry needling is not in the scope of practice of an Accredited Exercise Physiologist & ESSA does not recognise Dry Needling training for CPD hours (but you are still welcome to join us). 

We advise all practitioners to check with your professional indemnity insurer that they will be covered to use Dry Needling Therapy subject to successful completion of the DN course.

Covid-Safe Plan - Information for Therapists Attending a Practical Course

Introduction

We are really looking forward to starting teaching again. It’s been so long since we had a room full of enthusiastic therapists all eager to learn Dry Needling.

We have developed a COVID-SAFE Plan for all our courses to keep you and our presenters safe while attending your practical course.

The plan will be effective from the first scheduled courses in August and will be in place until further notice at all of our practical courses.

We will adapt the plan according to how things develop over the coming months.

The plan includes pre-course information about risk factors and monitoring for COVID related signs and symptoms.

We have also developed a COVID-SAFE Screening procedure which will be conducted on arrival at the course in addition to the procedures we’ve implemented during the practical course.

IMPORTANT - Information about your Safety - Please READ.

Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have been considering all the available information and advice from the Australian Government (Department of Health) regarding public gatherings.  We are continually evaluating all the known risks and how best to mitigate against them so that we can keep you and our presenters safe while attending your Practical course.

According to the advice, a public gathering is any function or event attended by a large group of people, such as conferences, music festivals, sporting events, some religious and life celebrations, cultural events, elections and other public occasions.

Having reviewed the Government’s advice, we have decided to go ahead with your practical course, as planned and implement safety measures as per the Department of Health guidelines.

We will do everything we can to make your training experience feel safe while helping you achieve your goal of learning Dry Needling. By working together, implementing screening and monitoring, we’re confident that we can continue to deliver our courses.

Here are the measures we have put in place to ensure that we maintain the highest level of safety and that we comply with the advice given by the Department of Health.

All of our presenters, who are all therapists working in private practice, have completed the Australian Government - Department of Health, COVID-19 Infection Control Training.

Before attending your practical course:

• Please do not attend the course if you have returned from any overseas or interstate travel within 14 days of commencement of your practical course. Please follow the advice given by state authorities regarding isolation rules following overseas and interstate travel.
• Please do not attend the course if you think that you may have been in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus. You should monitor your health and seek urgent medical attention if this applies.
• You should not attend the course if you have any medical condition that may compromise your immune system; these conditions are listed in the practical course consent form.
• You should not attend the course if you have flu-like symptoms like a cough, sore throat, fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, headache or runny nose. This applies to the period before attending the practical course or at any time during the course.
• We recommend that you download the COVIDSafe app. The COVIDSafe app is a tool that may be helpful in identifying people exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19). You can download the App Here.
• Please ensure that you have read, understood and agree to the consent form, including the COVID-Safe questions before attending your practical course.

On arrival at your Practical course:

For us to ensure we can complete our COVID-SAFE screening and temperature check; we ask all participants to arrive 30 minutes before the start of each day’s scheduled start time:

• Friday: Please arrive at 4:30 pm
• Saturday: Please arrive at 7:30 am*
• Sunday (if applicable): Please arrive at 7:30 am

*Podiatrist: Please arrive at 9:30 am on Saturday

• You will be met at the venue entrance by one of our presenter team. Please do not enter the venue until you have been screened by one of our presenter team.
• On arrival at your practical course, one of our presenter team will complete the COVID-SAFE screening and temperature check. The screening check involves answering a series of health-related questions and taking your forehead temperature.
• If you answer “YES” to any of the screening questions on any of the course training days, unfortunately you will not be able to attend the course, and you will be advised to seek medical advice or go to a COVID testing centre. We will also provide you with information about when and how you can resume your training.
• If you become unwell while you are attending the course or report feeling any of the signs or symptoms common to COVID-19, unfortunately you will be asked to leave the course and seek medical advice or go to a COVID testing centre. We will also provide you with information about when and how you can resume your training.
• If you have any of the most common COVID-19 signs or symptoms or you have a temperature that is equal to or exceeds 37.4 degrees centigrade, you’ll be asked to seek immediate medical advice or visit a COVID-19 testing centre.

COVID-SAFE Screening Questions

1. Have you have returned from any overseas or interstate travel within the last 14 days?
2. Have you been in close contact with a confirmed case of coronavirus?
3. Have you any flu-like symptoms like a cough, sore throat, fatigue, fever, shortness of breath, headache or runny nose?

*Infrared Forehead Temperature Check

• Before entry to the course, a member of our presenter team will take your temperature using an Infrared Forehead Thermometer. You will be allowed to enter the venue if your temperature is 37.3 or lower. If your temperature is 37.4 degrees centigrade or higher, you will not be permitted to join the course, and a second test will be carried out, five minutes later.
• If your temperature is 37.4 degrees centigrade or higher after the rest period, unfortunately you will be asked to seek immediate medical advice or visit a COVID-19 testing centre near the venue. You will be offered a mask by our presenter team.

*Reference: WHO Guidelines: Getting workplace ready for Covid-19

During the Course

• All course participants will be required to wear a face mask for the duration of the course. You may choose to provide your own mask if you wish.
• At the start of all practical courses, our presenter team will present a short review of the COVID-SAFE plan that we have implemented for safe practice during the training.
• All course participants will be asked to remain at least 1.5m apart at all times, excluding during the practice sessions or when impractical to do so.
• You will be paired with another student, if possible, someone from your own profession or similar. You will need to work with that person for the duration of your practical course. There may be groups of three, depending on numbers at your course.
• We have reduced the maximum numbers of students that we allow at a practical course for us to meet the government guidelines relating to physical and social distancing at indoor venues.
• We will ask you to remain seated at your assigned chair, which will be marked by a cross on the floor during the theory presentations.
• Breaks will be staggered to minimise close contact with others. You may choose to leave the building during the breaks or remain in your assigned seating.
• All door handles, tabletops, surfaces, taps, light switches will be wiped with disinfectant at regular intervals by our presenter team.
• There will be no covers or pillows used on the treatment tables provided to minimise soiling and make it easier to clean between practice sessions.
• We will continue our standard practice of applying hand sanitiser before all Dry Needling practice sessions and wearing gloves on the non-needling hand. In addition, we will remind all course participants about the need for washing their hands before and after meal/toilet breaks.
• All treatment tables will be wiped down after each use, using alcohol wipes or antiseptic spray.
• All course participants will be reminded about covering their mouth and nose with a tissue or arm if they sneeze or cough.
• To further reduce risk, we recommend that all students attending the course attempt to get tested for COVID-19 seventy-two hours before their course start date. We understand and accept that this may not be possible for everyone, which is why it’s not a requirement but a recommendation. If you can get tested, you may like to inform the testing centre that you are a healthcare provider, which may speed up the test results.

We are closely monitoring the advice given by the Department of Health for any changes and any impact this may have on our COVID-SAFE plan and the viability of presenting practical courses.

If you have any concerns about attending the practical course, please Contact Us as soon as possible.

We look forward to meeting you at the Practical Course soon.

Will my Practical Course go ahead?

Practical course scheduled in Perth are still on tract to run.

We're closely monitoring advice given by the Australian Government Department of Health on any changes that may occur between now and your practical course commencement date.

However this is also dependant on UNDA re-opening.

We're in communication with UNDA staff for external room bookings and we'll let you know if anything changes. 

We want to reassure you that the Course Presenters will not be travelling from another state to present this course.

We'll keep you updated should anything change.

Many thanks for your patience and understanding.

Unfortunately SSNT is not available for external room bookings at present due to Covid restrictions :((

This is why we've temporarily moved to Hawthorn - so we can continue to run practical courses until SSNT re-opens. 

Here's the practical course address: Creative Cubes. Co: 10 Oxley Rd, Hawthorn VIC 3122 MAP (18 min drive from SSNT. Public transport also available).

You're welcome to wait until 2021 when we hope to run practical courses from SSNT again.

2021 courses: Please click this link: Course Location, Dates & Prices.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience & understanding during this time.

Most Dry Needling practical courses are scheduled to run in most locations from August 2020 onwards.

However as we all know, in this current environment things can change very quickly, so we ask for your patience & understanding if your course is re-scheduled to a later date at short notice.

Some courses may need to be rescheduled due to the following reasons.

1. Government Restrictions:

If we're unable to run a course due to Government restrictions, we'll contact all practitioners ASAP, before the practical course start date. Your course will be rescheduled to a later date.

2. Venues:

In order to run a practical course we are dependant on the centre to be open.

Fremantle:

Some teaching institutions such as UNDA (Fremantle WA) are not open yet (July 2020), so we're in daily contact with management for any updates.

We still hope to run the courses scheduled at UNDA in September & November. We'll keep you updated.

If we find an alternative venue to run the practical course in Perth, such as a Co-working space with a large room, we'll let you know.

Melbourne:

With SSNT (Fitzroy Melbourne) currently closed, we've recently secured a Co-working space in Hawthorn Melbourne to run the course from.

So all practical courses scheduled in Melbourne from September, will now be relocated to run from Hawthorn until the end of 2020.

Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart & Townsville:

All courses in the above locations above are scheduled to run from August and September 2020 onwards (correct as of 22nd July 2020).

Practical courses in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart & Townsville run from Co-working spaces which have more flexible opening criteria, so these courses are scheduled to run as posted on the Locations page of the CPD HC website.

3. Presenter Availability:

We have very experienced presenters who live in most practical course locations, so we're not dependant on presenters travelling from one state to another in order to present a practical course.

We're closely monitoring advice given by the Australian Government Department of Health on any changes that may occur between now and your practical course commencement date. We'll keep you updated.

Your Dry Needling practical course is still scheduled to run at this point in time.

We will keep you updated if anything changes.

Many thanks for your patience during this time.

Unfortunately this is out of CPD HC control due to SSNT being closed. We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing you.

These are challenging times and although this is not a perfect solution, we are trying our best to accomodate practitioners needs to complete their Dry Needling training ASAP. We only run courses in one location of Melbourne.

You're welcome to put your enrolment on hold if you wish, but we cannot guarantee if/when we will be back to SSNT.

Enrollments can be put on hold indefinitely and you'll still have full access to the online theory modules until you're ready to join us.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

Please let us know if you'd like to put your enrolment on hold.

Given the current restrictions, we have been considering all the available information and advice from the Australian Government Department of Health regarding public gatherings.

Having reviewed the Government’s advice, your practical course is going ahead with safety measures as per the Department of Health guidelines.

• All treatment tables will be wiped down after each use, using alcohol wipes
• All course participants will be reminded about covering their mouth and nose with a tissue or arm if they sneeze or cough
• We will review all these practices and advice before course commencement to ensure everyone is aware of the procedures and systems, we have implemented for your safety
