ONLINE Dry Cupping CPD Course

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this qualification accredited

  YES, Our online Dry Cupping CPD course is accredited by Active IQ

• What qualification will I gain

  On completing our Online Dry Cupping CPD course you will gain a Certificate in Completion

• Can I gain insurance

  Insurance coverage depends on your individual provider's policy. Since requirements vary—particularly regarding online vs. in-person training—it is best to verify with your insurer before you begin

  
  
• Are there any prerequisite's?

  There are no formal prerequisites to enroll in and complete this online course. However, because this is a CPD (Continuing Professional Development) program, it is designed for individuals who already hold a professional qualification in a manual therapy—such as Level 3 Sports Massage, Physiotherapy, or Osteopathy.

  
  

  We strongly recommend having one of these qualifications before starting, as most insurance providers require a baseline of Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) knowledge to provide professional indemnity cover for Dry Cupping.

• Does this count towards my CPD Points?

  Yes, any continued learning relevant to your profession qualifies for CPD credits. Generally, one hour of active learning equates to one CPD point. For online courses, the total points awarded depends on how long it take you to complete the course, we typically based an estimated time required to complete the material, though this may vary depending on your individual learning pace.

  
  

  At BTST Academy, we believe in professional transparency. It is a common misconception in the manual therapy industry that a course must be 'stamped' by a private accreditation company to count toward your CPD requirements.

  The reality is simpler: Any learning activity—whether it is a practical workshop, online theory, or self-directed research—counts toward your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), provided it is relevant to your scope of practice.

  How to Calculate Your Points: Most professional bodies follow the industry standard: 1 hour of active learning = 1 CPD point/hour. 

  Because everyone learns at a different pace—especially with our hybrid and online modules—we put the power back in your hands. We encourage you to track your actual study time. If a module takes you 2 hours to master, you should log 2 CPD hours.

  Why We Don’t Use Third-Party 'Accreditors': We choose to focus on the quality of our clinical training rather than paying for external 'validation' logos that often add cost without adding educational value. Your professional body cares about what you learned and how it improves your practice.

  To support your annual audit, we provide a certificate of completion. Simply log your hours, keep your certificate, and reflect on how this new skill (e.g., Dry Needling, Cupping, or Sports Massage) enhances your clinical outcomes.
