Dental Nursing Level 3 Diploma

No prior experience or dental background is needed. Our Employability Pathway is designed specifically for complete beginners. We provide you with 24/7 access to our Foundation to Dental Nursing online course before your interviews so you have all the essential industry knowledge employers look for.

You must be at least 16 years old, have a good command of the English language, and be ready to work a minimum of 16 hours per week in a dental practice while studying.

Dental practices are required by the General Dental Council (GDC) to ensure all trainee dental nurses are registered on an accredited course before starting work. We issue your official COE letter immediately upon enrolment so you can present it to prospective employers straight away.

Except for a hiring practice itself, no course provider can legally guarantee a job—and you should be cautious of anyone who claims to do so. What our Employability Pathway offers is the closest thing to it: we optimise your application, provide intensive interview coaching, train you in hyper-local job-hunting techniques, and actively refer you to our nationwide network of partner practices to maximise your chances of getting hired.

On average, most candidates secure a job offer within 4 to 12 weeks of completing their employability preparation. Some candidates receive offers in as little as 2 to 4 weeks depending on local vacancies and how quickly they complete their initial steps (such as vaccinations).

Over 90% of dental practices prefer hiring local staff. We teach you a data-driven strategy to map out, target, and directly connect with 100% of the dental practices within a 30-to-35-minute radius of your home, putting your CV at the top of their pile before roles are even advertised publicly.

All clinical healthcare staff working in dental clinics must be vaccinated against Hepatitis B for safety and regulatory compliance. We guide you through getting your Hep-B fast-tracked right at the start of your journey so there are no delays to your employment.

The diploma typically takes 10 to 12 months to complete. You will attend weekly online evening classes, complete your Record of Experience (ROE/POE) assignments, and sit your final NEBDN exams.

Classes are held live online during the evening, allowing you to easily balance your practical work at the dental clinic during the day with your studies at night.

You will be assigned a dedicated tutor and assessor to guide you through your online webinars, review your assignments, provide 1-to-1 support sessions, and prepare you for your final written and OSCE exams.

We freeze your main tuition fees so you aren’t paying for a full diploma before earning an income. You only pay an initial deposit of £450 (which can be split into two monthly payments of £225). The remaining £1,000 balance is completely frozen until you successfully secure your trainee dental nursing job.

No. All course transcripts, study resources, online access, tutor support, and assignment submissions are included in your course fee with zero hidden charges. (Note: The standard NEBDN external exam fee of £650 is paid separately closer to your exam date).
