Teaching, dates and assessment

Teaching combines lectures, practical work and discussion with self-directed study. The provider offers an online learning platform and app, live online sessions, WhatsApp and case support, mentoring and opportunities to reattend teaching. The advertised EduQual Level 7 diploma requires satisfactory assessments and a clinical portfolio; it is not an MSc or specialist registration. The verified March 2027 London intake is available through the Watford Smile Clinic booking option. The course advertises patient mentoring at its accredited centre: treating centre patients or bringing your own patient is included as mentoring, while patients pay their treatment charges. A mentor visiting your own practice costs extra. Confirm patient availability and the clinical schedule before enrolment.

Full fee and CPD

Full tuition is GBP 10,710 plus VAT: GBP 12,852 including 20% VAT. The booking product takes a GBP 500 plus VAT deposit, not the whole fee. The advertised 0% plan is GBP 426 plus VAT for 24 months; together with the deposit this does not exactly equal the stated total, so obtain the written instalment schedule. The provider states 126 hours of enhanced CPD.
