These courses are aimed at dental professionals with some prior experience in reception, compliance, or patient-facing roles who want to develop higher-level skills.
Foundation builds confidence in the essentials, while Advanced moves into areas such as treatment coordination, patient complaint handling, financial systems, and supporting compliance across the dental team.
Not always. Many learners move directly into Advanced courses if they already have solid workplace experience in dentistry.
You’ll learn about patient complaint handling, fee communication, informed consent support, appointment system management, and how to contribute to compliance and record-keeping.
