Your training

Level 3 Dental Nurse Apprenticeship Standard, which includes:

  • Level 2 functional skills in maths and English (if required)
  • There will be limited sessions that will require college attendance at our Walsall Campus during the training period. All other sessions remain virtual on a once-weekly basis

Full-time apprentices will typically spend 16-18 months on-programme working towards the occupational standard, with a minimum of 20% off-the-job training.

The focus is now on the outcome of an apprenticeship, and apprentices have to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours that employers have identified they need.

Training is virtual once per week; however, there are x2 taught sessions and x3 exams that will require mandatory college attendance. Notice of these will be provided upon enrolment.
