Yeovil College Expands Digital Dental Apprenticeships to Leicester
Yeovil College is excited to announce its expansion into Leicester as part of its strategic initiative to advance digital dentistry across the UK. In collaboration with NHS England, the College aims to address the critical skills gap in digital dental technology.
To celebrate the official launch in Leicester, Yeovil College, NHS England, and Ivoclar will host a business support event on January 22, 2025, from 18:30 to 20:30 at the Ivoclar Compass Building in Leicester. This event will offer free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions, tackle educational and training challenges, develop future skills, and support the growth of the dental industry through education.
Building on the successful launch of the Laboratory Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship in South Somerset, Yeovil College is now expanding further with a blended online and face-to-face apprenticeship programme, covering:
- Digital Design and Manufacturing
- Anatomy and Materials Science
- Safe Working Practices
- Communication within Dental Technology.
Yeovil College already offers a comprehensive range of digital dental apprenticeships, from Level 3 to Level 6, covering the South West region, and delivered from their Yeovil base. They are now ready to extend their reach even further.
Principal & CEO of Yeovil College, Mark Bolton, stated: “We are leading the UK charge to develop and embed digital dental education and training, and we are therefore thrilled to bring our digital dental apprenticeship programmes to Leicester. This expansion is a testament to our commitment to bridging the skills gap in digital dental technology and supporting the growth of the dental industry through innovative education and training.”
