Why dental teams switch to us

Dental-specific training vs generic e-learning

Why UISC Edu Skill

Written by people who run dental practices

Generic compliance e-learning talks about "the workplace". Ours talks about the diary, the decontamination room, UDAs, the nervous patient at the desk and what a CQC inspector will actually ask.

Dental-specific from the first lesson

Every scenario, template and assessment is set in a UK dental practice.

Certificates that count

Aims, objectives, learning outcomes, development outcomes and CPD hours on every certificate — ready for eGDC and your appraisal.

Team training with CQC evidence

Enrol the whole practice on one invoice and download a training matrix for inspection day.

Lifetime access & free updates

Return to your courses any time and receive refreshed content when guidance changes.

Dental CPD

GDC recommended topics, from £20

Quick, verifiable modules for annual updates — complete one on your lunch break, certificate issued on completion.

Who are these courses for?

Everyone who works in a dental practice. The Dental Receptionist, Dental Administrator and Dental Coordinator tracks are career pathways for the non-clinical team; the Dental CPD track is verifiable CPD for dentists, nurses, hygienists, therapists and technicians, mapped to the GDC recommended topics.

What is the difference between a role and a topic?

Your role is who you are — receptionist, administrator, coordinator or GDC registrant — and each role page shows a complete learning path. Topics are what a course is about (front desk, administration, treatment coordination, GDC core CPD, compliance…). Many courses belong to several roles: safeguarding, for example, appears on every pathway.

Do dental receptionists and administrators need CPD?

Receptionists and administrators are not GDC registrants, so CPD is not a legal requirement for them — but CQC expects evidence that every team member is trained in safeguarding, infection control, information governance and complaints. Our certificates provide that evidence and give non-clinical staff a recognised record of professional development.

Are the certificates verifiable for the GDC?

Yes. Every certificate states the course aims and objectives, anticipated learning outcomes, GDC development outcomes, the quality-assurance process and the number of CPD hours — the elements the GDC requires for verifiable CPD. Registrants log the hours in their own eGDC record.
