Lavender Close Training Centre

Lavender Close Training Centre welcomes all nurses to study and prepare for the NEBDN Diploma in Dental Nursing. This course was newly set up due to the high demand since June 2008 when all Dental Nurses in the UK must have a qualification.

In November 2011 our first students sat the examination and we were extremely pleased with our 80% pass rate.

About the Tutors

The course is privately run by two experienced and qualified Dental Nurses and a highly experienced Dental Surgeon, who has been qualified for over 30 years.

About the Course

The course is open to all Dental Nurses who want to study towards the examination to gain the Diploma in Dental Nursing.

 The course will cover all aspects of the work which Dental Nurses would be expected to be familiar with (a copy of the Syllabus is available on request). It will also provide students with Record of Experience support.

To gain the Diploma in Dental Nursing, you must be employed as a trainee dental nurse and you need to complete the Record of Experience as well as pass the examination which consists of a written paper and an OSCE examination.  

Our Syllabus complies with the Dental Nurse curriculum developed by the General Dental Council (GDC) and the National Examining Board for Dental Nurse (NEBDN). The syllabus is currently being reviewed by the GDC to compliment the new style of examination, however the content is remaining the same.  The examination is largely based on the students being able to apply the knowledge that they have learnt in a practical setting.

We offer a wide range of facilities for students to use, including a fully stocked library and internet access. We also welcome students to arrange private tutoring should they feel they need any extra help. This will be a one on one basis, but will be at extra cost per session
