Dental Nursing

how did you find your apprenticeship? ive spoken to 2 so far and they said that they couldnt take me on since i said i wouldnt be able to commit 18 months, only 15 if i get in next year

Nooooo you don’t need to tell them thatttt. Don’t tell them!!! Just join the apprenticeship and then leave after you go to uni. It won’t cost you anything at all to leave, don’t worry!

Honestly, it started literally today so I don’t have much to say about it 😂 but ngl they seem disorganised but that’s the actual course’s fault, it’s not because it’s a government apprenticeship

Just apply and when you have your place at dental school, tell them then that you’re leaving in Sept 2023 :smile:

no point telling them now when you don’t have a place ☺️

Information about the national diploma for dental nursing:

There’s two exams. Written and practical. As well as this, you have coursework style work to do.

@Chopinnocturne31 is currently doing her coursework style work, right now. It’s known as ROE. Takes a minimum of 3 months to complete.

For the written exam there are two sittings a year. Nov and April. This exam is a MCQ exam with 100 Qs.

For the practical there are two sittings a year as well. Jan and June.

You have to pass your written exam before you can sit the practical. Is there anything else you’d like to know?

Can I please ask what the minimum time is to complete the diploma? If I register with a private provider could I qualify within 12 months? Also how many hours do you have to do in the clinic to qualify?
