Training

Traineeships are a national programme which provide 16 to 24-year-olds resident in England with the skills and work experience needed to progress into apprenticeships, employment, and further learning.

During these uncertain times it is extremely valuable to be given the opportunity to increase your skills, qualifications and improve your cv to help you enter secure employment, hopefully with an apprenticeship.

The Tempdent Traineeship programme will prepare you to enter the dental profession as a dental nurse, however there may occasionally be different career opportunities available.

The Tempdent Traineeship programme is typically a 12-week programme but can be less if you secure a job beforehand, or longer if needed. The Traineeship programme is tailored to suit your individual needs. The programme will include the following.

• Work preparation training
• A high-quality work placement
• Maths & English qualifications (where needed)
• Essential Digital Skills qualification (where needed)
