Course Overview

The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC®) Clinical Skills exam is one of two parts in the third NDEB equivalency step. The Prep Doctors NDECC Clinical Skills course delivers a proven method for candidates by fine-tuning their clinical dental skills in line with the NDEB criteria.

The NDECC® Clinical Skills exam is a full-day exam that tests your clinical skills and techniques as per Canadian standards. You will be assessed on your ability to perform seven clinical requirements laid out by the NDECC framework, all while following standard infection control.

We have designed this course to provide you with invaluable practical experience so that you meet every skill in the grading criteria. The instructors for this course have personally excelled in the Clinical Skills exam, and provide accurate insights on what it takes to succeed. With our weekly lectures, demos and daily access to our facility to practice on simulators, you will join the ranks of thousands of successful dentists who have cleared the NDECC® Clinical Skills exams with Prep Doctors.

This course provides access to a curated Clinical Skills Procedures Manual that outlines step-by-step instructions for each NDECC clinical requirement.

NDECC is a tough experience but the team at prep doctors made a better difference for me. Their online skills course is very good. I had the same work check experience as it was in person. Their staff made sure to give a stress free environment. I must take three names.. Dr.Laith, Dr.Maria and Dr.Osama who gave me support with both my work and emotionally. I definitely recommend Prep Doctors for those hoping to get the best support out there to clear this hurdle.
