For Providers – Learners can be deferred by submitting a deferral form on TheHub. The fee for this service varies depending on the timeframe of when the form is submitted. Please refer to the schedule of fees on TheHub for this information. Please also ensure that you are aware if their RoE/RoC is still in date to be eligible to be deferred.

Please note this option is not available to those sitting the NEBDN Apprenticeship. 

For Learners – Provider fees for exams or course tuition will differ pending which Provider you select and the training method chosen. As your contract is with the Provider themselves, they will charge you directly for any exam or administration fees to NEBDN. For a list of Provider fees, please visit their website or visit our Provider Search page.

For Providers – details of our Fees can be found on TheHub.

The Apprenticeship is assessed by:

Pre-Gateway Assessments (on-programme assessments):

• Portfolio of Evidence
• Knowledge Test

Post-Gateway Assessments:

• End-Point Assessment (Structured Clinical Assessment)

To achieve the qualification and Apprenticeship, the Learner must pass the above assessments that meet both the on-programme and End-Point Assessment (EPA) requirements of the qualification.

Please note: English and Maths at Level 2 is a requirement for the Apprenticeship, these must also be evidenced at the point of Gateway.  It may be that the Learner has already achieved these prior to commencing their Apprenticeship, or they are undertaking them alongside the Dental Nurse qualification. More information is available on this page. 

If you are interested in working with us and delivering an NEBDN qualification, then you will need to meet our Accreditation Standards. We will guide you through the Accreditation Application process in order to complete the Standards. Further information can be found on our dedicated page here.
