Dental Nurse (GDC 2023)
Dental nurses support dental professionals during procedures and help maintain high standards of cleanliness and infection control. They prepare instruments, mix materials, sterilise equipment, manage stock, keep records and ensure patients feel safe and comfortable throughout their visit. Dental nurses work in a range of clinical settings, including NHS and private practices, hospitals, specialist clinics, community services and military dental clinics.

Why NCFE?
We’re an approved End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) specialising in EPA delivery across health, education, early years, digital, social care, and business apprenticeship standards. We offer flexible and reliable EPA solutions supported by sector expertise, guidance documents and proactive service and support.
Entry: apprentices will undergo all the checks as per the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements to ensure suitability to work with children.
End-point assessment
There are no assessment methods for end-point assessment. The EPA takes place after the apprentice has completed all the requirements on-programme. EPA starts with the external quality assurance scrutiny of claimed certificates and finishes when the EQA makes a decision on the final apprenticeship grade.
