Dental Nursing Traineeship

Dental Nursing Traineeship leading to Higher Certificate in Dental Nursing.

What is the Dental Nursing Traineeship?

The Dental Nursing Traineeship leads to a higher certificate in Dental Nursing, combining academic study with on-the-job training. Dental nursing is a dynamic, people-orientated and fulfilling career.

The programme is both innovative and learner centered with both work-based and blended learning elements to enhance the educational experience by working in conjunction with Dental practices and through using technology to enhance learning.

Dental Nurses play a key role in patient support, infection control, health and safety and in providing chairside support to dentists as part of a dental team. Dental Nursing requires a calm and empathetic nature with excellent organisation skills to respond to patients and the dental clinics needs.

Who is the Programme for?

  • School leavers who want to become Dental Nurses without going down the University Route.

  • Career Changers who work or have worked in Health Care or other industries and wish to start a career in Dental Nursing.

  • People already working in the sector who need to gain qualifications.
