Dental Nursing Academy
Dental Nursing Academy trains dental nurses across three intakes a year. Its students, assessors and administrators now work from one live record instead of paper portfolios and email threads.
Criteria and range sit beside the evidence, observation videos are linked from Google Drive or OneDrive, and learners with English as a second language read tasks and feedback in their own language. The IQA samples on the same record.
The academy’s assessors picked it up with little training, and guidance is built into the platform itself, so a new assessor is not waiting on us. Learners tell the academy they find it easy to use and easy to find their way around.
