Welcome to the FAQ section of Dental Aspire — where we provide clear, concise answers to your most important questions about NDECC preparation, programs, mentorship, and enrollment.
We specialize exclusively in high-yield preparation for the National Dental Examining Board of Canada Certification (NDECC) exam. We offer three structured pathways tailored to different needs: the 1-Month Intensive Prep, the 3-Months Standard Prep, and the 5-Months Comprehensive Prep. All courses place a critical emphasis on Clinical Skills mastery required for Canadian licensure.
While the NDEB is the sole regulatory body for the NDECC, our courses are meticulously designed to meet and exceed the exact clinical and ethical standards set by Canadian licensing authorities. Our curricula are continually updated to reflect the latest NDECC exam format, ensuring our instruction is industry-aligned and highly effective for Internationally Trained Dentists (ITDs).
Yes, we understand that ITDs have varying schedules. While our hands-on practice and mock exams are structured to meet weekly milestones, the theoretical review and supporting materials are self-paced. This blend of structure and flexibility allows you to master complex clinical procedures while integrating your studies into your personal schedule.
Our students receive unparalleled support, including direct guidance from licensed Canadian dentist instructors, personalized feedback during weekly work checks, and dedicated 24/7 email support. This expert mentorship ensures you navigate challenging clinical concepts and procedural nuances with confidence.
Our courses are built around interactive clinical modules, focused on key NDECC procedures (e.g., Class II amalgams, Class III resins, rubber dam placement). The structure progresses from foundational theory to intensive hands-on practice in state-of-the-art facilities, culminating in rigorous, high-fidelity weekly mock exams that simulate the real NDECC environment.
We offer transparent and competitive pricing structured across our 1-Month, 3-Months, and 5-Months programs. Our goal is to provide the highest value preparation for the investment. Detailed pricing, including any applicable taxes and materials fees, is available by contacting our admissions team or visiting the individual course pages.
The duration depends on the specific program you choose: 1-Month, 3-Months, or 5-Months. While completion time is tied to the program length, success depends on consistent commitment. We highly recommend ITDs select the program that best matches their current skill level and available study time to maximize their chances of first-attempt success.
Our student support team is available to assist you via our dedicated contact page form on the website, or by emailing us directly at [email protected]. We strive to respond to all inquiries promptly to ensure your learning journey is as smooth as possible.
Our primary focus is the Clinical Skills examination, as this is the most critical and challenging hurdle for most ITDs.
