CPD Health Courses assumes no liability for any accidents or misadventures resulting from the use of information, techniques, theoretical knowledge, or advice provided during our training courses. The decision to utilize Dry Needling as a therapy is solely at the discretion of the practitioner.

Our courses provide education and training that is based on the current understanding of mechanisms, safety protocols, clinical reasoning processes, and evidence in the published literature.

However, like all therapeutic interventions, it is the responsibility and obligation of the therapist to determine if Dry Needling is appropriate, safe, and effective for each unique clinical presentation within their scope of practice and experience.

Monitoring the Online Theory:

This is to clarify the reasons for our close monitoring of the online theory component.

Dry Needling is a procedure that involves invasive techniques, and at CPD HC, our foremost priority is to offer a course that upholds the highest safety standards, both in the online theory and practical course.

This commitment is driven by our dedication to ensuring the safety of every practitioner, including yourself.

Our system is designed to automatically flag any online theory activity that appears to be progressing at a rate significantly faster than the average completion time, which is a vital part of our quality assurance.

As per the requirements of Professional Associations and Professional Indemnity Insurance, in order to become a qualified Dry Needling Therapist, all practitioners are obliged to successfully complete the online theory program in good faith.

For the accreditation of our courses by Professional Associations, CPD HC must ensure that each practitioner who undertakes the online theory program does so in good faith. 

This is necessary to receive a Certificate of Completion, which specifies the number of training hours completed successfully.

This meticulous oversight ensures the integrity of our training and accreditation processes.

In the event of a refund request, any eligible refund will be made to the account used for the initial course payment. Practitioners are responsible for notifying CPD HC of any changes to their account details and specifying a different account for the refund if desired before the refund is processed.

Practitioners must successfully complete all online theory modules before attending the practical course. Completion is mandatory and practitioners must allocate enough time to complete the program before attending the practical course.

If an enrolment is placed on hold for any reason, any remaining scheduled payments will continue according to the payment schedule created when the practitioner initially enrolled in the chosen course.

Refunds beyond the 7-day period will follow the CPD HC Refund Terms & Conditions.

If a practitioner pays a $1 deposit and decides to cancel their enrollment & payment plan before the full fee has been debited, a $100 cancellation fee will apply regardless of whether they have accessed the online theory program or not. The cancellation fee will be deducted from the account used for the initial deposit.

If a practitioner wishes to cancel their enrollment they must notify CPD HC in writing. Refunds will be made according to the Refund Terms & Conditions.

Early-bird Discount:

If a practitioner opts to receive the early bird discount on the checkout page, the entire amount must be paid on the day & time of enrolment, which will be more than 3 weeks before the practical course start date.

Choosing the $1 payment plan disqualifies practitioners from utilising the early bird discount, even if the full amount is paid more than 3 weeks before the practical course starts.

Scheduled Payment Plan Fees:

If a payment has been scheduled and automatically debited on the scheduled date, and a practitioner then puts their enrollment on hold after the scheduled payment has been debited, the payment cannot be refunded.

The course payment will automatically carry over to the practical course that the practitioner transfers to at a later date.

Please Note that an enrolment can be kept On Hold for a maximum of 12 months from the date of transfer.

However, if a practitioner puts their practical course enrollment On Hold and then later wishes to cancel their course enrollment, a fee equal to 100% of the total course fee (with full course payment or payment plan) will be charged.

Safety is our primary concern in every practical course we present.

You will be trained to the highest standards to ensure the safety of both yourself, other therapists at the course and your clients.

Our practical sessions are carefully structured so that you are fully aware of the safety protocols before, during, and after needling procedures.

This focus on safety applies to the techniques you will learn and the overall environment of the course, providing you with a professional and secure learning experience.

All participants must follow the safety protocols stated in the online theory and implement them for the safety of all those who attend the practical course.

These include the use of gloves on the non-needling hand, alcohol hand rub, and alcohol swabs.

This focus on safety applies to the techniques you will learn and the overall environment of the course, providing you with a professional and secure learning experience.

Maintaining Safety Standards

To maintain these standards, we reserve the right to assess you if you fall below the required safety standard at the practical course.

If our instructors deem your pre-requisite knowledge or application of safe needling practices is below the required standard, you may be asked to take a written multiple-choice test at any time during the practical course.

This test reassesses your safety knowledge and passing it will confirm that you meet the necessary safety requirements to continue participating in the practical course.

If you do not pass the safety test, you will be given the opportunity to enrol in a supplementary course at a later date, when you feel confident that you can meet the safety standard.

This policy ensures that only those who have demonstrated safe practice, can continue with the practical course, maintaining a secure environment for everyone involved.

The cost of this Supplementary course is $350.00 (Terms & Conditions).

No refund will be given if a practitioner fails to meet the practical course safety standard.

Practitioners who enrol in the 80-hour DN course but fail to achieve the satisfactory standard required during any part of the practical course will not be eligible for a course fee refund. It is important for practitioners to actively participate and meet the required standards throughout the practical course to ensure successful completion.

Additionally, if a practitioner joins the 80-hour DN course but decides not to continue with any part of the practical course, they will not be eligible for a course fee refund. Once enrolled, it is expected that practitioners will fully engage in and complete all components of the course.

We encourage practitioners to carefully consider their commitment and availability before enrolling in the 80-hour DN course to ensure they can fully participate and meet the required standards. If you have any further questions or require clarification, please feel free to contact us.

CPD HC intermittently offers special promotions and discounts for new enrollments. These special offers are applicable only to new enrollments and cannot be applied retroactively to past purchases.

If a customer has purchased a course at the regular price and a special offer becomes available at a later date, we regret to inform you that we are unable to provide a refund for the price difference between the standard price and the special offer price.

In the event that a special offer was not available at the time of your enrollment in the DN Course, we are unable to refund or adjust the price to match the special offer.

If you choose to re-enrol at the special price, please note that you will need to start the Online Theory Program from the beginning. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Practitioners who enrol in a supplementary course but fail to meet the satisfactory standard required during any part of the practical course will not be eligible for a refund of the course fees.

If a practitioner enrols in a supplementary course but decides not to attend, the same conditions apply as cancelling a regular course enrollment. Refunds will be subject to the refund policy outlined previously.

We recommend carefully considering your decision to enrol in a supplementary course and ensuring your commitment to attending and successfully completing the course requirements.

Please also refer to Refund Information.

Once a practitioner or CPD HC Admin transfers an enrollment to a later or earlier practical course or puts their enrollment on hold and the practitioner then wishes to cancel their course enrollment, unfortunately, course fees, part payments, and transfer fees cannot be refunded regardless of the time prior to the later practical course commencement.

It is important to be aware that CPD HC reserves the right to place an enrollment On Hold if a practitioner's online theory program has not been started at least 5 days before the practical course commencement date and or less than 100% of the theory program has been completed 24-hrs before the practical course start time.

No refunds will be given once a course enrollment has been transferred or put on hold by CPD HC.

Regarding payment plans, if a practitioner transfers their enrollment to a practical course at a later date or puts their enrollment on hold, all course payments will continue as scheduled according to the payment plan chosen when first enrolling in the course.

If a practitioner receives a CPD HC email notification regarding the government requirement for vaccination to attend a practical course at an indoor venue in certain states of Australia, they have the option to request a partial course refund within 7 days of receiving the notification.

A $50 administration fee applies to all refunds.

It is important for practitioners to regularly check their email inbox, including spam or trash folders, as CPD HC holds no responsibility if the email notification is missed.

The partial refund will be equivalent to 50% of the course fee paid up to that point.

All refund requests related to vaccination requirements must be submitted in writing via the Contact Us form, providing a clear reason for the refund request.

The refund will be issued to the account used for the initial course payment. It is the practitioner's responsibility to notify CPD HC of any changes to the account details and specify if they wish the refund to be transferred to a different account at the time of the refund request, prior to processing.

If a refund request is approved and the practitioner later decides to enrol in a CPD HC Dry Needling Course again, the full course fee will be required for the new enrollment.

We strongly advise Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Excercise Physiology and Myotherapy (Degree) students, who are in their final year of study to only use Dry Needling Therapy after they have graduated from their current course of study, and obtained professional indemnity insurance that specifically covers Dry Needling Therapy for their anticipated profession upon graduation.

In situations where a final-year student already holds qualifications in another modality, such as Remedial Massage Therapy, and wishes to incorporate Dry Needling Therapy into their practice before graduation, it is essential for them to enrol in a Dry Needling course that aligns with the practice and insurance requirements of their existing qualifications, rather than the requirements of the qualification they expect to receive upon graduation.

We urge practitioners to carefully select the appropriate Dry Needling course that enables them to obtain professional indemnity insurance for Dry Needling Therapy and allows them to legally practice Dry Needling Therapy following the successful completion of the CPD HC Dry Needling course.

Please note that course payments cannot be refunded if a practitioner enrols in a course that does not fulfil these requirements.

We strongly advise Remedial Massage Therapy & Myotherapy (Advanced Diploma) students, who are in their final 3 months of study and have successfully completed a Dry Needling Course with CPD HC, to only use Dry Needling Therapy after they have graduated from their current undergraduate course of study, and obtained professional indemnity insurance that specifically covers Dry Needling Therapy for their anticipated profession upon graduation.

We urge practitioners to carefully select the appropriate Dry Needling course that enables them to obtain professional indemnity insurance for Dry Needling Therapy and allows them to legally practice Dry Needling Therapy following the successful completion of the CPD HC Dry Needling course.

Please note that course payments cannot be refunded if a practitioner enrols in a course that does not fulfil these requirements.

Students and new graduates are eligible to receive a discount when they select the "Student" option in the Profession field on the Enrol page.

It is important for practitioners to remember to choose the "Student" option during the enrolment process to receive the discount. In case a practitioner forgets to select this option, they may be eligible for a refund of the discount amount if they contact us within 7 days of their initial enrolment date.

Please note that once the total payment has been received by CPD HC, the refund for the discount cannot be processed.

The student discount is applicable to practitioners who are students in the same profession they are enrolling under. However, this discount does not apply to practitioners who are students of a different profession than the one they are enrolling under.

If a student does not meet the satisfactory safety standard during any part of the 80-hr DN practical course, they will not be able to continue their training. However, they will have the option to enrol in a Supplementary Course if they fail the Supplementary test.

If a student chooses to attend the Supplementary course, they will be required to complete both the online theory program and the practical course again. 

If a student fails to achieve a satisfactory standard after attending the DN practical course, they will have the opportunity to attend a Supplementary DN practical course. 

The completion of supplementary courses is required within 12 months from the initial enrollment date in the practical course. Failure to meet this deadline will necessitate the practitioner's enrollment in the course at the full course price.

If a student does not meet the satisfactory standard in the DN Advanced practical course, they will have the option to enrol in a Supplementary Course, subject to availability.

Students who choose to attend the Supplementary Course will be required to complete the online practical course video section again, regardless of the time elapsed between completing the initial online theory program and joining the supplementary course.

To complete the Supplementary Course, students will need to redo the online practical course video section, irrespective of the time elapsed since completing the initial online theory program. 

The completion of supplementary courses is required within 12 months from the initial enrollment date in the practical course. Failure to meet this deadline will necessitate the practitioner's enrollment in the course at the full course price.

If a student does not meet the satisfactory standard in the DN Introductory Practical course, they will have the option to enrol in a Supplementary Course, subject to availability.

If a Practitioner does not meet the satisfactory standard in the DN Introductory practical course and they are also enrolled in the DN Advanced course scheduled for the same weekend, they will be unable to attend the DN Advanced practical course until they successfully complete the DN Introductory practical course.

The DN Advanced course will be put on hold until the completion of the DN Introductory Supplementary course.

Failure to meet this deadline will necessitate the practitioner's enrollment in the course at the full course price.

Practical Test Requirement

To ensure that all practitioners meet the required safety standards, there is a Dry Needling Practical Safety Test held on Saturday afternoon.

During the Practical Test, practitioners are evaluated on their ability to perform safe needling practices on the Upper Trapezius and Infraspinatus muscle and 1-2 other muscles chosen from the important Muscle List. 

If a practitioner fails to meet the required safety standard during any part of the Initial Practical Test, they will receive verbal feedback.

Passing either the Practical Test is necessary to receive a Certificate of Completion for the DN Introductory course.

A Certificate of Completion for the DN Introductory / 80-Hr DN course is a prerequisite for attending the DN Advanced / 80-Hr DN course and for practising Dry Needling Therapy after successful course completion.

Students must demonstrate safe needling practice of 3 muscles listed in the Muscle Safety Grid. The focus is on surface anatomy, needling direction, caution points, and the referral pattern for the relevant muscle. 

The knowledge required to pass the Dry Needling Practical Safety Test is covered in the Online Theory program, which includes the Muscle Safety Grid Matrix, sample grid and answers, sample questions, and the Practical Course Handout.

If a practitioner does not pass the practical test, they have the option to enrol in a Supplementary DN course at a later date. This involves completing the Dry Needling online practical course video section again (not the online theory modules) at a reduced price of $350.

A maximum of 2 transfers are allowed. After that, if a practitioners would like to complete the Dry Needling training they will need to re-enrol and pay the full course fee.

The term "transfer" includes moving an enrollment from a practical course to an on-hold status and vice versa, from on-hold to a practical course.

CPD HC does not cancel practical courses. In the event of government restrictions, we may reschedule a practical course.

Why do we charge transfer fees?

This is an explanation of why transfer fees are incurred by any person who is unable to attend a scheduled practical course. 

This response is general in nature and is not meant to address the specific concerns of any therapist/s.

CPD HC has been in business for the past ten years. 

We present courses almost every weekend in Australia & the UK.

Every week, we receive emails from therapists who have booked their practical course dates but cannot attend for many reasons, including medical emergencies, family emergencies and a death in the family.

We believe every single person's reason for not being able to participate in the course without questioning their case's veracity.

Last-minute cancellations place our business in a challenging position, not just morally but financially. 

If we are to continue to run a business, we need to remain economically viable.

Here's a typical example:

We have twenty-four students booked into a practical course at the start of a given month. 

Knowing this information, we plan to have enough presenters, flights for those presenters, catering, courier enough treatment tables and supplies, and hire of a suitable room size. 

Indirect costs include our presenters' fees in cancelling their patient lists on Friday afternoon and Saturday to teach at the course.

If six of the original twenty-four therapists tell us they cannot attend, giving us seven days' notice or less, we have a financial hole in the budget for that course. 

We are also unable to fill places if a practitioner cannot attend at short notice, due to pre-requisite study that has to be completed before attending a practical course.

Regardless of why a therapist cannot participate, we have committed to paying for costs that are no longer required.

All of these extras amount to several thousand dollars. 

The transfer fees we request from therapists who cannot attend for any reason are a fraction of the actual cost to our business. 

The transfer fees are not penalties but are a small contribution to the debt we incur every time a therapist is unable to attend. 

This debt does not respect the reason or morality of the circumstances.

Like many businesses in Australia and worldwide, we face rising costs and inflation. 

At this time, we cannot see a fairer or more practical solution to this challenge other than asking therapists who are unable to attend, regardless of their reasons, to pay a transfer fee to partly compensate us for the costs that we have incurred and cannot get refunded for, regardless of our reasons.

We have a tiered transfer fee policy linked to the notice given by the therapist; the more notice we receive, the lower the transfer fee. 

We believe that this is a reasonable compromise addressing this ubiquitous business challenge.

Thank you.
