About this course

Dental Administration gives you a complete grounding in the administrative work that keeps a dental practice running, with no prior experience needed. You’ll learn how patients are registered, how dental records are created and protected, how appointments and practice systems are managed, and how payments, NHS charges and private fees are handled. The course also covers your legal and professional responsibilities, including confidentiality, GDPR, safeguarding and health and safety. When you finish, you’ll receive a free professional certificate you can show employers.

Dental practices rely on organised, confident administrators to support clinicians, keep records accurate and stay compliant with regulations. This course builds the practical knowledge employers look for, so you can step into an administrative role or take on more responsibility in your current one. All materials are online, so you can study whenever it suits you and at your own pace.
