We Educate The Experts
Our vision is to develop the whole dental team - from dental nurse and dental administrator leaders and mentors of tomorrow, to postgraduate qualifications for dentists. We will open the door for individuals who want to realise their potential, and give them the tools for success.
Book a courseRealising the potential of the whole dental team
We are committed to inter-professional learning and team based patient care. Our two centres, Devon Square Orthodontics and Leamington Spa Orthodontics, have fully empowered their entire orthodontic team. By identifying committed individuals at every level within the team - who we have then trained, educated and developed - we have created a team of highly skilled, highly knowledgeable individuals who apply situational leadership, to ensure that patient care, well being and management is optimised.

Education Specialists
Education Specialists
We do what we teach, so we know it works. Exceptional standards of training result in a highly experienced, specialist led team, ensuring the patient treatment journey and quality of care is outstanding. We educate and assess many other dental teams to comprehensively improve skill sets. We have been recognised as leaders in the provision of dental education care and as a result, frequently deliver seminars and lectures both in the UK and overseas and have articles published in refereed scientific journals and dental magazines.
Accessible and Flexible Learning

We have designed our courses to be accessible and flexible. Our post-registration courses for dental care professionals are delivered as e-learning or blended learning courses, so wherever you are based in the world, you are able to access high-quality education and courses with the flexibility of studying whenever suits you best! We also can deliver bespoke in-house training within your own dental practice environment. Courses and qualifications include Clinical Photography, Impression taking, Fluoride Application, Oral Health Education, Implant Nursing, Orthodontic Nursing and Dental Practice Administration and Management. Our MSc in Orthodontics and Diploma in Orthodontic Therapy, delivered in conjunction with the University of Warwick, are innovative, part-time programmes which are lecture-based in terms of delivery.
Our Qualifications
Our Qualifications
We choose qualifications and awarding bodies who we believe provide contemporary assessments and qualifications which fit well with dentistry today. Initially, Orthodontic Team Training (OTT) and Dental Team Training (DTT) delivered courses, which prepared students for NEBDN, BDA and ILM qualifications. In 2013 Richard and Liz decided they wanted the freedom to design and build qualifications that are innovative and contemporary, which expand the style of assessments available to widen the learners choices and, most importantly, realise the potential of learners, their teams and their practices and in turn enhance the profession. From this Dental Team Qualifications (DTQ) was born, a new and innovative awarding body, specialising in the development of assessments and qualifications for qualified dental nurses and dental administrators, preparing them to meet the demands of contemporary practice.

We believe in the value of every member of the dental team.

Experience Expertise Excellence
In 2005 two very successful and established Specialist Orthodontists decided to create an education and training company whose aim was to develop the dental team. These two innovative individuals knew that dental nurse registration was approaching and felt strongly that patient care needed to delivered by the whole team, not just dentists and orthodontists. Dr. Richard Cure and Dr. Liz Hopkins were both leading successful Specialist Orthodontic practices and were already involved in educating dental nurses and dentists.
During more than 30 years in Orthodontics, Rich and Liz have gained vast experience in all modes of treatment and different orthodontic appliance systems. Their expertise has led to regular lecturing, examining and research appointments in the UK and abroad, including North America, Scandinavia, Africa, the Middle East and Far East. They continue to publish papers in scientific journals, contribute to The Oxford Dictionary of Dentistry, and currently are writing a textbook on Orthodontics.
