I currently have an apprentice on a City and Guilds course. She usually does one full day every two weeks at college and has to be observed a few times during the course. If you go to City and Guilds website and type dental nursing in the search it will list the courses and the venues near you where they are offered. I'm finding it to be a very good course. Much more in depths than my 9 year old National!

I also trained with Dentrain. Correspondence course.
The good points are that you can study when it's convenient rather than traveling to classes, but this means the trainee needs to have the self discipline to spend time studying at home and getting a colleague or mentor at work to go through things when needed.
I didn't struggle with that, even in a busy practice just 10 minutes going through forceps with the dentist or asking another nurse about materials helped a lot.
Also the work that Dentrain set for you has weekly timeframes for completion, so provided you follow that you would not get behind.

They didn't send tutors to watch you work, which is what some of the colleges do, I think that can be a little bit disruptive in a busy work environment (Not that a good dental nurse can't handle a bit of disruption!) Instead there was a practical exam and a written exam alongside the ROE (Record of Experience) basically a log book of what treatments you have assisted.

I would recommend them!

I work in Hertfordshire but am on a course with temp dent who are based in London. I only needed to travel there for my exams so 3 days over a year. The course is completely online but you do need to be training as a nurse to take the course.

I used dentrain.net for my training - its distance training and the nurse would need to be training on the job to meet the requirements. Had no problems with my tutor or being able to contact someone if I needed help, passed both parts of the exam first time
