I have been learning a lot along the different modules. The speakers have been very clear and easy to follow. The Hands-on modules were great for me to clinically relate the learning material. I was able to confidently introduce dental implants in to my practice.

The lecture material has been concise and well put together. I have thoroughly enjoyed the program. Placing implants seemed intimidating at first, but with the guidance of the team here I was able to place my first implant under supervision.

Testimonials

- The best thing about this course is the hands-on components so you have a day where you get to do suturing on pigs heads and you also have a day where you can do real extractions on a real patient because the student cohorts are so small at this course it really enables you to get more one-on-one attention with the tutors and so it’s a lot more easy to pick up tips and tricks and also identify small errors that you might be making and correct them straight away
Dr Aarushi Joshi
Dr Aarushi Joshi
- Theory component was very comprehensive, and now the practical component is so good because it is a small group of people it’s such a supportive, nice tight-knit learning environment
- Very friendly, very knowledgeable
- I feel comfortable taking these things that I’ve learnt and implementing them in my practice because I’ve done it before now, and with the guidance of a specialist
- I feel very comfortable asking questions and making sure that I fully understand the content being taught… that is massive… you can’t put a price on that
Dr Haya Awni
Dr Haya Awni
- The experience definitely made me really confident to get started on the simpler cases of the implants and I feel confident to do it in a safe, predictable way
Dr Diluni Perera
Dr Diluni Perera
- The appeal was that we had quite a number of university lecturers involved with the process whom I was familiar with, a lot of theory, and they were quite careful in making sure that we didn’t go out of our scope, and a lot of help with the planning
- The fact that there’s university teachers who are involved with postgraduate programs teaching other specialists is highly appealing
Dr Paul Hwin
Dr Paul Hwin
- This course is undertaken primarily by specialists in prosthodontics and periodontics
- This course is undertaken primarily by specialists in prosthodontics and periodontics

Dr Con Lakoumentas
Dr Con Lakoumentas
- I think that it’s the most complete one at the moment. It is very thorough and all the trainers and doctors involved are very detailed
- This course in comparison with other ones is very complete mainly because of different modules, and you can have time from one module to the other one to research, to do all the readings that the trainers want you to do
- For me as a practitioner after finishing the course, I feel the support that I can get from them. They have been very clear that after finishing this course I can contact them, I can send my cases, we can have a chat about that… here you really have a companion
