Higher Apprenticeship in Dental Practice Management (Level 4)

This Apprenticeship programme has been designed as entry level training for the role of dental practice manager. With approximately 8000 dental practices across the UK the training for this role is applicable to both large corporate dental bodies and single dental practices. The programme has been designed and driven forward by an employer steering group, and then challenged and refined through a development group of training and assessment experts including apprenticeship training providers and professional bodies. The apprenticeship consists of two elements with an additional end of programme assessment - a Level 4 ILM Certificate in Leadership and Management and the development of a work-based portfolio which is externally assessed. It is hoped that this apprenticeship will help employers to adopt a more strategic approach to practice management and to improve the efficiency of day to day operations in practices of all sizes.
