To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I enjoyed the course. The weekly webinars were helpful. The resources were accessible.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

Yes, from zero knowledge in dentistry to becoming a dental nurse.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

5/5

We were given the timetable at the start of the apprenticeship and the timetable was followed. Tempdent tried to link the units together so that it could flow easily but it was hard to. Still, it was organised.

How much support do you receive from your employer?

1/5

Unfortunately, we had (5) changes of PM, a temporary Lead Nurse, and no mentor so there was no support received from my employer at all.

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

5/5

Tempdent was far better than my dental practice (employer). There was communication!
Academy support, Sima, Brooke, Jackie, and Teodora were all supportive.
