About this course
Behind every smoothly run dental practice is an administrator who keeps records accurate, claims submitted, invoices paid and compliance folders inspection-ready. This Level 3 certificate is the most comprehensive online programme for dental administrators in the UK.
You will master patient-record management, NHS contract administration (UDAs, FP17s and Compass), private invoicing and payment plans, stock and supplier management, HR paperwork, and the CQC evidence an administrator is expected to maintain.
Completion earns a verifiable 20-hour CPD certificate and a portfolio of ready-to-use templates: audit trackers, stock sheets, a records-retention schedule and a compliance calendar.
Issued the moment you complete the final module. Every certificate lists the course aims and objectives, anticipated learning outcomes, the quality-assurance process and 20 CPD hrs — the elements required for verifiable CPD. Non-registrants can use it as CQC training evidence and for appraisals.

The NHS claims module finally made UDAs and FP17s make sense. Our rejected claims dropped almost immediately.
I moved from reception to admin after this course. My manager said my CQC evidence folder was the best she had seen.

The compliance calendar and stock templates are now part of how our practice runs. Excellent value.
