Apprenticeships: let's grow your dental laboratory business - together!

Learning Content

Work with the college to recruit and participate in teaching new students to become dental technicians able to communicate with dental professionals and patients. Develop your team by providing the leadership to develop your workforce.
Improve your skills and knowledge as you support and teach your new apprentice. Help them to adopt the skills and behaviours to become part of your team and provide professional support to the dental professional and the patient.

  • Understand what are the main causes in the huge fall in the numbers of dental technicians.
  • What are apprenticeships – how do they work- how long will it take, what will they learn - will they be able to register with the GDC. How much will it cost. What is my responsibility as an employer? How do I recruit. Who will help with the forms. How do I access a course? How many days will the student be at college. What about digital dentistry. All will be revealed!

Aims

Why can we not find dental technicians to employ. Why have the numbers of registered dental technicians fallen by over a third in the last 15 years Why are we not recruiting new people into our profession and our college course struggling to survive.
