NDECC Preparation by ConfiDentist

Prepare for the NDECC with Confidence

The NDECC assesses your clinical skills and your situational judgement. ConfiDentist offers focused, hands-on preparation for each component — or a complete bundle that covers both, taught by instructors who have passed the exam.

About the NDECC

Two Components, One Complete Preparation Partner

The National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence (NDECC) evaluates candidates across two areas: a hands-on Clinical Skills assessment and a Situational Judgement assessment of professional decision-making. ConfiDentist offers a dedicated program for each — plus the Brilliant Bundle for candidates who want a single, complete pathway through both.

FAQ

NDECC Preparation — Common Questions

What is the difference between Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement?
The NDECC has two components. Clinical Skills assesses hands-on practical technique, and ConfiDentist prepares you with recorded demonstrations plus supervised in-person lab practice. Situational Judgement assesses professional decision-making, and is prepared through interactive, small-group role-play and written exercises. The Brilliant Bundle covers both.
Are the NDECC courses in person or online?
These programs include a significant in-person component at ConfiDentist's North York centre — the Clinical Skills course includes supervised lab access, and the Situational Judgement course moves to in-person classes after an initial month of recorded videos. Recorded content is accessed through your ConfiPortal account.
Do the instructors have NDECC experience?
Yes. ConfiDentist's NDECC instructors passed the exam themselves, and the Clinical Skills team is noted for passing with 700-series results.
Are mock exams included, or separate?
Dedicated mock exam programs are available separately for both Clinical Skills and Situational Judgement, and can be added to your preparation. The Brilliant Bundle includes the mock exams for both components.
Are payment plans available?
Interest-free installment options are available, including for the Brilliant Bundle. For details, contact info@confidentist.ca or call +1 437 370 0122.
