2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have, the resources they provide and some webinars were good! I have developed my knowledge and have a better understanding of what I do day to day.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

The communication from tempdent wasn’t great. My assessor was lovely but not very organised. I liked the weekly webinars although some were very boring and the resources given and SVLE activities were good. The programme was okay - you are supposed to be assessed in person 3 time over the duration of the course, beginning, middle and end, and due to the lack of assessors, I was not seen until the end which meant I was delayed in sitting my exams.

5/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Not amazingly organised but the webinars stuck to the timetable given before the course starts.

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I did receive support however, the emails I sent took around 3-5 days to respond to.

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

Again, i did receive support just at the wrong time and when they realised I was going to be delayed etc.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

I do as they have given me information that aids my day to day job life

No p

9a. Would you recommend Tempdent – Dental Training Provider and Recruitment Agency to a friend?

9b. Why?

Overall, no I wouldn’t. The course overall wasn’t enjoyable due to the stress and lack of organisation. However, I don’t believe this is all my assessors fault and due to the fact that they have so many learners and not enough staff to support the learners.
