Course requirements
Applications can be accepted from students who are:
- On the GDC Register for Dental Care Professionals
- Eligible to enter for the NEBDN Certificate in Dental Radiography examination.
Payment
Course fees are £425 for staff of BDA members or £475 for all other students. Cheque or Credit Card payments will be accepted. Payment of fees must be made in full to secure a place on the course. The BDA reserves the right to re-allocate a course place to another student if fees are not paid at least two weeks prior to the start of the course.
Cancellation policy
Cancellations should be made in writing or by email. Cancellations received seven days or more before the course start date will be refunded subject to a 25% administration fee. Cancellations received later than this date will not be refunded, except in exceptional circumstances. In the unlikely event of the BDA cancelling the course, students will be offered an alternative course, a credit note or a full refund.
Substitution
A student wishing to cancel their place on a course may be replaced by another student from the same practice, subject to availability. Notification of the substitution must be received two or more weeks before the course start date.
Transferring courses
Any request to transfer must be made in writing or by email at least two weeks before the start of the students assigned course date and is subject to availability on the requested course. Students cannot transfer once they have started the course except under exceptional circumstances.
Deferring the exam
Each student is given four weeks access to the online course prior to the NEBDN examination as a revision aid. This service is available for a period of twelve months from the completion of the original eight week course.
If a student decides to take the exam more than twelve months after the completion of their course, they will have to pay a further £50 for the revision period.
If a student fails the examination and wishes to re-sit at a later date, we can supply an additional 4 weeks access to the course for £50. This offer is only open to former BDA students.
Electronic Privacy
The BDA will not supply student email addresses to any outside organisations. The BDA may contact a student by email regarding BDA products and services. A student can opt out from receiving these communications by emailing RadiographySupport@bda.org and expressing this wish.
