Dental nurse Review

My role is as a dental nurse/receptionist I carry out many duties on daily business. I have to carry out many different tasks a day. It is a very fulfilling yet busy role. Some of the main task I have to carry out are thorough cleaning and decontamination of surgery's and instruments.

I feel that at first I knew nothing about dental. Through my course with aspiration I have come to learn a lot. I have learnt enough to be able to feel confident in my role as a dental nurse. I have learnt new skills I this job especially on treatments that are carried out on patients these are very complex and I now feel j have learnt how to assist with these but also understand why they are being carried out. I understand what materials are being used.

Aspiration training is good to learnt through. The course materials provided are good and thorough in giving you all the information you need to learn your new role. The tutoring they provide you is good quality and you are able to contact them at all times. My tutor has been fantastic through the whole course.

The course I feel has been very well structured. The beginning took a lot of effort on my part to get everything signed and ready to begin the training but once that was all sorted it has been relatively easy sailing through the course. The online portal is East to use and access. You are given resources to use, a place to upload work and a place to log all the time your allocating to the course

My employers have been good in giving me time each week to be able to complete tasks and coursework. I have been able to have time out of work to complete coursework, attend sessions with my tutor and to take my exams. The support from my employer has been very good.

My course provider tutor has been exceptionally good at providing me with support. My tutor [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] me a lot of help and time when working towards my qualifications. I was able to work closely with my tutor and have extra sessions and video chats and calls with my tutor when I needed the help.

Knowing I am learning a lot about dental through my course provider whilst I am working is a great benefit for me. To know I am working hard towards gaining a proper qualification in dental nursing is very satisfying. It helps you to work harder and to pay attention to everything your doing to be able to learn more and be able to carry out all taks.

Twice yearly our practice usually organises some outside activities and a Christmas meal. But due to the coronavirus this year the activities have had to stop. This is to ensure that all staff and patients are kept safe. It would be nice when all things can get back more the normal and extra curricular activities can resume again.

Yes

The company is good to learnt through, they are thorough with the course materials, great communicators when your learning and the online portal is an invaluable resource. I feel that the company has got a lot to offer you when you have not got any skills in a certain role that you would like to be trained in.

My advice would be to those that want to apply and use aspiration training would be to go for it. You would have nothing to lose. It's a great company that provides a great training programme and gives you the opportunity to be in complete control of your learning but with all the support you could need.
