Why Come To ISC's Dental DCT & ST Interview Course?
A course specific to Dental applicants
This course is specifically for candidates applying to dentistry training posts (DCT and ST). You will not get mixed with candidates applying to Medical CT and ST interviews. The course is run by trainers who work actively in the Dental field and have first hand experience of Dental Interviews and recruitment.
Maximum 12 participants
Each course is limited to 12 participants. It means we can give you full attention and provide a tailored course that will address your specific needs and will suit your style.
Perfect mix of individual practice and workshops
To become good at interviews, you don't just need to learn the theory; you also need to practise. The small number of participants attending each course means that you will get plenty of opportunities to practise and get feedback.
We make you think for yourself
Our teaching strategy is to make you learn all key interview techniques through discussion and active participation. We believe that you will not learn to be good at interviews simply by being spoon-fed answers via a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, we make you think for yourself and ensure that you gain all the tools you need to answer any question thrown at you.
Free email follow-up
When the course is over, we still remain at your disposal to address any questions or queries you may have. You can contact us at any time and we guarantee a personal reply within 24 hours. This is what makes our service unique and personal.
Free unlimited support for your interview preparation if you attend ISC 's Dental DCT/ST interview course.
No small print, no ifs, no buts, we want you to succeed
