NEBDN Level 3 Diploma in Dental Nursing (RQF)

The NEBDN Level 3 Diploma in Dental Nursing (RQF) is a nationally recognised qualification regulated under the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and accredited by the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN). This qualification prepares learners with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and professional behaviours needed to practise as a competent dental nurse and to apply for registration with the General Dental Council (GDC) upon successful completion. The qualification covers core aspects of dental nursing—including clinical practice, communication, teamwork, responding to medical emergencies, and professional development—ensuring the learners meet the standards required in modern dental practice.

This course is delivered through a flexible, self-paced learning model that lets you access all learning materials and resources anytime, giving you full control over your study schedule. All teaching sessions are recorded, so you can access and revisit lessons whenever you need to, regardless of your work and personal commitments.

Learners can join regular group support sessions or book a one-to-one session with their assessor for additional guidance.

Depending on your pace and prior commitments, the course can be completed in as little as 6 months or up to 12 months to fit your work and personal life.

If you do not already have clinical employment as a trainee dental nurse, we offer a guaranteed placement to support your practical experience. If we are unable to secure an employer for you, we offer a money-back guarantee (with 30% of the deposit retained for administrative costs).

In addition to the core qualification, every learner receives FREE access to the “Food, Mind & Body: A Journey to Wellness” course to support their well-being throughout their learning journey. Optional wellbeing prompts and resources are provided to help you manage stress and maintain balance throughout your course.

By completing this diploma, you not only gain a respected dental nursing qualification but also the confidence to launch your career in dental practice or progress further in the dental profession.
