  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes, lots. All of the dental terminology, how to do all different types of treatment, how to deal with medical emergencies in the surgery, how to deal with nervous/difficult patients, all about how to safeguard an individual.

  • I enjoyed it very much.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • I felt that my course was behind with the timing of learning each aspect. For example, learning about different types of instruments should be one of the first thing to learn as you are already working in the surgeries and are already seeing these things day in day out. I felt like the webinars could of been longer as sometimes there could of been a bit more time spent on certain topics, the tutor did very well to answer and go over these queries but more time could of been offered by TempDent.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • I received lots of support, they gave me a study day to complete the work and offered more time in work hours if I needed extra support.

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • It has helped me to gain all the knowledge and skills I have to be the best in my role every day.

    9/10

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • There are social activities that we do.
