The application processing fee has been set (in line with the regulator's fees policy) at a level that covers the cost of processing only. This is when the GDC checks on qualifications, character, clinical experience, and English language competence before adding someone to the ORE candidate list.
The GDC proposed introducing an ORE application processing fee in its consultation on international routes to registration for dentists and dental care professionals. A suggestion that was supported by a majority of respondents.
Candidates currently pay an examination fee for each sitting of the ORE, including any retakes. The GDC will hold examination fees at current levels until the end of 2024 (under transitional arrangements, which end on December 31, 2024), around the time that the current ORE contracts end. These examination fees were set at their current levels nine years ago.
