The Last Step of the NDECC® Exam

Course Overview

The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC®) Situational Judgement exam is the second and last part of the third NDEB equivalency step. At Prep Doctors, we have carefully crafted and refined our Situational Judgement course over the past three years to directly reflect what is expected of you on test day, as laid out by the NDECC® grading criteria.

The Situational Judgement component of the NDECC® exam assesses your aptitude for solving problems in clinical situations. With the 5 core competencies outlined by the NDECC® protocol, you will be required to complete 10 stations that assess your skills in patient-centered care, professionalism, communication and collaboration, practice and information management, and health promotion.

Prep Doctors has pioneered the preparation for the NDECC® Situational Judgement exam.
Throughout the years we have refined this course, ensuring it covers accurate NDECC® protocol. Our Situational Judgement Course consists of live lectures, additional prerecorded lectures, simulation mock sessions, and discussions supervised by instructors who are dedicated to providing a comprehensive training experience.

Our highly experienced instructors have trained thousands of dentists to clear the NDECC® Situational Judgement exam.

I had an excellent experience with Prep Doctors, and I am truly grateful for the outstanding support especially from Dr. Parnia.

I needed to prepare for the ACJ exam in a very short and intensive period, and honestly, this journey would not have been possible without Dr. Parnia’s guidance, encouragement, and constant support. Her dedication, patience, and deep knowledge made a huge difference in my preparation and confidence.

Prep Doctors is a highly organized and well-structured institute with experienced instructors, clear teaching methods, and a very effective approach to exam preparation. The learning process feels focused, supportive, and goal-oriented throughout.

I highly recommend Prep Doctors to anyone looking for serious, reliable support on their dental exam journey. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Dr. Parnia, for the incredible support along the way.

An outstanding experience overall, especially the NDECC Roadmap course, which was exceptionally well structured and delivered.

A huge thank you to the Skills Instructors — in particular Dr. Ibrahim, Dr. Mahmoud, both Dr. Ahmads, and all the other instructors involved. Their support, supervision, guidance, and genuine commitment to student success truly made all the difference. The level of dedication and encouragement throughout the course was remarkable.

Thanks to their expertise and hands-on approach, this journey was not only successful but also an unforgettable and motivating experience. I am extremely grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend this program to anyone preparing for the NDECC.

Prep Doctors was a huge part of my success in the Canadian dental licensing exams. Their AFK course is extremely well-organized, high-yield, and supported by great instructors and mock exams that actually prepare you for the real test.

A special thank you to Dr. Mina Mustafa — she guided me step by step, answered every question with patience, and genuinely cared about my progress. Her support made a big difference in my AFK journey.

I highly recommend Prep Doctors to anyone preparing for NDEB exams. Their courses and team are truly exceptional.
