INCREASE YOUR REVENUE STREAM, ADVANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, GAIN 6 ECPD HOURS.

With an industry that is continually evolving, it’s vital that you’re receiving the best training possible to propel your knowledge and career - as well as opening up new revenue streams. Dentists need to complete a minimum of 100 hours of verifiable ECPD every five years, so it’s important to attend training to accumulate the relevant knowledge and experience. Many training courses can be dry, sending you into an deep spell of boredom with the same old “tick-box” exercise.

What’s more, is a lot of them only cater to a particular kind of learner, excluding individuals with different learning styles. People absorb information in a variety of ways, whether it’s visually, audibly or even kinaesthetically. Therefore, it’s important to cater to these variations - ensuring that every type of learner can retain the information they’re taught.
