The NDECC® Roadmap
Structured Approach to NDECC® Exam Preparation
Roadmap Overview
The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC®) is the third exam required to gain Canadian dental licensure. The NDECC® Roadmap is designed to guide internationally trained dentists through both components of the NDECC® exam: Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement. This dual approach allows you to be more efficient in your preparation as you get one step closer to becoming a licensed dentist in Canada.
With this Roadmap, you enroll in two subsequent cycles of our NDECC® Clinical Skills course, which increases your probability of clearing this exam. In conjunction, participants are admitted into our NDECC® Situational Judgement course, followed by the NDECC® Situational Judgment Practice course. You will then be able to attend the NDECC® Simulation Exams course, which allows you to participate in 2 full simulations of the NDECC® exam, giving you valuable exposure to mock exams that mirror real test conditions.
With the NDECC® Roadmap, participants are automatically eligible to apply to our PrepAssist™ program, which offers a 0% interest monthly payment plan. To learn more about eligibility, visit our Financial Advisors page or book an appointment with one of our Financial Advisors.
