No, the Diploma is designed for dentists and we know how hard it can be to take days off! Our workshops are over 2 x 4 day blocks across 12 months, the mentoring is online and after hours, while the online academics can be done at your convenience.

Beside the hands-on workshops and mentoring, on average an additional 2-3 hours per week is recommended to review to prepare cases, literature reviews and online academics.

Our in person hands-on workshops are held in Melbourne (Australia), we work with a number of venues to maximise your experience depending on the workshop. You will have over 3 months notice of the event space once you’ve registered. The mentoring and academics is otherwise online from your home base.

The program costs a few hundred dollars per week! On average our Residents improve their income by 25-35% during the year of the program, and get multiples on their return. Education is always an investment and the Diploma is designed to be of the utmost greatest value. Nevertheless, we believe in ensuring everyone is able to afford amazing education. To register and secure your spot all that is required is a 10% deposit. The remaining 90% can be paid via a 3 month internal payment plan or through a 12 month payment plan via our Finance Partners at Credabl.

We know how important it is for dentists to be able to get support in their daily practice. The mentoring is designed to maximise your learning from hands-on workshops by giving you the opportunity to ask follow up questions and find ways to implement new skills into your own private practice. Our mentors are Specialist Endodontists who have 10-15+ years experience with an extensive skill set in dentistry. You will be added to a private chat with your mentor to be able to help you get any pressing questions answered, and also meet them online regularly over the duration of the program to go through case discussions and present your cases.

The program was designed as package so we can be accountable to your growth and development. On average our Diploma attendees improve their scope of practice in advanced endodontics and income by 25-35% during the year of the program, and get multiples on their return. This way we can provide the greatest impact and value to dentists hence we do not offer individual modules except on an ad hoc basis.
