The courses are not solely for dentists – some are also for hygienists, nurses and dental therapists.
Choose from our two-day courses which are held in London as an intensive fast-track to Level Up your skills, or opt for independent, individual modules for skill specific learning which are based at PDM’s Training HQ in Crewkerne, Somerset.
We recommend our 12-month Mentor Programme which is also based at PDM Training HQ as we’re uniquely positioned in an award winning Dental Spa and Clinic for first hand insight and inspiration into private practice: Black Swan Dental
