About the course
The course is a 12-month program that runs fortnightly via classroom learning, which is located in our training centres in Basingstoke, Aldershot and Feltham. The National Diploma in Dental Nursing is a combination of working and learning.
Furthermore, students will be required to complete RoE (Record of Experience), which is a practical experience portfolio that needs to be completed gradually and in line with NEBDN standards provided by the NEBDN. To complete the RoE students should be working in a dental practice as a Trainee Dental Nurse.
Upon successful completion of the RoE submission, students will complete two exams which are a theoretical written exam and practical OSCE exam subject to successfully completing their RoE and previous exam.
As a result, students will be awarded certification from the NEBDN, which allows eligibility to register with GDC and become a registered Dental Care Professional (DCP). Students will need to pass the Everest Mock exams, as well as complete the RoE in order to be put forward for the NEBDN exams.
