Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Assist the dental clinicians & patients, to sterilise and decontaminate instruments.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
The communication from tempdent wasn’t great. My assessor was lovely but not very organised. I liked the weekly webinars although some were very boring and the resources given and SVLE activities were good.
The programme was okay - you are supposed to be assessed in person 3 time over the duration of the course, beginning, middle and end, and due to the lack of assessors, I was not seen until the end which meant I was delayed in sitting my exams.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
I have, the resources they provide and some webinars were good! I have developed my knowledge and have a better understanding of what I do day to day.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
Not amazingly organised but the webinars stuck to the timetable given before the course starts.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
2/5
I did receive support however, the emails I sent took around 3-5 days to respond to.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Again, i did receive support just at the wrong time and when they realised I was going to be delayed etc.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
I do as they have given me information that aids my day to day job life
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
No p

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Tempdent – Dental Training Provider and Recruitment Agency to a friend?
No
Why?
Overall, no I wouldn’t. The course overall wasn’t enjoyable due to the stress and lack of organisation. However, I don’t believe this is all my assessors fault and due to the fact that they have so many learners and not enough staff to support the learners.
