Setting the standard

Joining a list of over 178 Ofqual recognised institutions, NEBDN will now join the register as a regulated awarding organisation. Being recognised by Ofqual offers future potential benefits to the users of NEBDN qualifications through the Regulated Qualifications Framework, including attaining UCAS points, building credits, attracting public funding, and holding a qualification regulated by an internationally recognised organisation.

Kate Kerslake, CEO at NEBDN, comments, “This is a huge achievement for NEBDN, one which our team has worked very hard to achieve. This is a very exciting time for the organisation, as we not only grow and expand as a business in recruiting for new roles but expand in our vision to offer a dental nursing apprenticeship. This will allow us to give employers a choice of training routes for their trainee dental nurses, which is something we know is important to offer as an inclusive organisation.”
