This course is the higher level programme for registration as a Dental Care
Professional with the General Dental Council to enable you to practice as a
Dental Technician. The practical elements are developed in our dental
laboratories where you will gain knowledge of materials, techniques and
equipment commonly found in the dental technology sector. Practical work is
underpinned with theoretical classes that will build your confidence as a young,
new professional. You will learn how to use dental materials but you will also understand how
to select them and why they are used as part of a dental appliance. The role of the dental team and specifically the role of a dental technician
is a key area of development.
