How to recognise the quality of postgraduate training

Dentists that want to undertake postgraduate training must check that their chosen course leads to a ‘recognised’ qualification and who the awarding body is.

That’s the message from Tipton Training, which now offers recognised Masters level (Level 7) vocational qualifications.

“A nationally recognised qualification - like the ones on offer at Tipton Training are quality assured by recognised awarding bodies,” explains Vivek Gupta, Tipton Training CEO.

“Remember, a Level 7 course is a guaranteed level of quality. This status is only awarded to courses after the curriculum, its method of delivery and its assessment are verified by an independent awarding body such as EduQual.

“There are numerous private dental training programmes that do not meet this standard, yet demand high course fees. The problem is that these courses aren’t recognised by independent awarding bodies, which can make it difficult for dentists to achieve the career progression they deserve.

“By completing a Level 7 course, dentists can rest assured that their qualification actually means something.”

Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma

Tipton Training’s range of Postgraduate Diplomas - which are all Level 7 Vocational Qualifications - have the potential to kickstart careers that have reached a plateau.
