It leads to a qualification accredited by the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) and will soon be mandatory for all practising dental nurses. West Thames College has been a nationally approved centre for the NEBDN for many years and has excellent results -- our students achieved a 100% pass rate in last year’s examination. Our teachers are practising dental nurses with many years experience both in teaching and in dental practice.

Who Is This Course For?
Dental nurses who are employed within a dental practice and wish to gain a recognised qualification.

Entry Requirements:
You must be working (paid or unpaid) in a general dental practice, either private or NHS, or in the community health service and have at least 1 year’s current chairside experience. You also need to have good literacy skills to be able to study and produce written work. You will need to fill in an application form and attend an interview, which will give you the opportunity to ask detailed questions about the course.
