Put Your Request in For Dental Technology Training UK

We are committed to supporting GDC registrable Dental Technologist training providers by facilitating access to various UK training resources. We encourage employers to connect with these providers. More information can be found here on the DTA website.

To explore course placements for the upcoming academic year, students and employers are advised to reach out to education providers promptly to secure a placement. With some courses filling up quickly, early contact is recommended. Dental laboratories also have the opportunity to sponsor training positions or offer work placements based on individual course provider requirements.

Spread the word among colleagues about the importance of reaching out to local Dental Technology educational providers, and supporting them. One such new provider is Yeovil College. Contact Adrian.Ponter@yeovil.ac.uk for more information about places on their course.

To be called a Dental Technician, it is a legal requirement to be currently registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). Often, individuals begin their careers as trainees in a commercial dental laboratory, a dental practice, or a dental hospital. They typically blend practical training with part-time education to earn an accredited qualification. Liaising directly with a course provider is essential to securing a training place.

The GDC list approved dental technology programmes and qualifications on their website and you can find out more about specific options such as Apprenticeships through the National Apprenticeship Service or Careers Wales.
