Learning With Us
We chatted with Sapphire to give potential learners an in-sight into online learning as a dental nurse.
The BDA Oral Health Education (OHE) programme is a nationally recognised qualification designed to equip dental nurses with the knowledge and skills required to deliver high-quality oral health advice and support. On successful completion, nurses will be awarded the BDA Certificate in Oral Health, a qualification approved by the General Dental Council (GDC) and created in collaboration with OHE Southwest.
The course typically runs for 6 – 9 months depending on the start date. With eight intakes throughout the year, learners benefit from flexibility and do not need to wait long before beginning their studies.
The NEBDN Level 3 Diploma in Dental Nursing (RQF) leads to General Dental Council (GDC) registration. This the new qualification is regulated by Ofqual, the GDC and CCEA.
The new NEBDN Level 3 Diploma offers a dual advantage: workplace-ready dental nursing skills and 32 UCAS points to help open doors to further education or specialism—ideal for those aiming for a meaningful career in dental care

I wanted to become a Dental Nurse because there are fantastic progression paths within the industry through further training. I have always been fascinated by the mouth and teeth, and enjoy making others smile! Therefore, I knew dentistry was the career path for me.
The support from the training centre has been brilliant. Erica Clatworthy was my tutor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be a teacher, a friend and someone to follow for guidance.
She was always an email away with quick replies and made you feel completely relaxed throughout the whole course.
Having Erica as a teacher was very beneficial. With Erica’s hygiene background, she is so intelligent and has so much insight of dentistry. This made learning very easy for me. Erica had a way of explaining things that just made sense!
