Technical Skills Course – 2.5 Weeks

🎓 2.5-Week Technical Skills Course for the ADC Practical Examination

📘 Course Overview

This 13-day course prepares overseas‑qualified dentists for the Technical Skills Day of the Australian Dental Council (ADC) Practical Examination. It covers every task cluster through instructor demonstrations, supervised hands-on practice and timed mock work — The three days beyond our two-week programme add two further taught tasks — composite (anterior) and crown preparation (posterior PFM) — plus extra mock practice, so every task type is demonstrated before you sit the exam.
