PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry

Tipton Training's restorative certificate covers fifteen modules, including occlusion, endodontics, crown and veneer preparation, posts, digital workflows, composites, dentures, periodontics and treatment planning.

Practical exercises are supported by tutor mentoring and an online library of papers, tutorials, webinars and case discussions. The assessed EduQual Level 7 route requires structured practical feedback, multiple-choice examinations after selected modules and a final 50-question examination. A separate attendance-certificate route omits these formal assessments.

Published tuition is GBP 9,950 including VAT for Level 7, or GBP 9,450 for the attendance route, plus GBP 525 registration in either case. Confirm the intake, attendance timetable and CPD certificate with Tipton Training.

Study and assessment

Tutors provide continuity across the programme, an online learning library and guidance between sessions. Qualified dentists at different career stages can attend; the attendance-only route does not confer the EduQual Level 7 qualification.
