COURSE STRUCTURE

The course is structured in such a way as to provide a balanced training programme in selected practical and theoretical skills relevant to the role of a Dental Assistant involved in Sterilisation and Infection Control as a day to day activity.

The overall subject has been broken down into different identified areas. The module is a discrete body of job specific skills and knowledge, which have been further broken down into a series of lectures and associated activities.
The course is competency based, self paced learning. The student will be provided with the module which includes information and exercises that they work through at home. Modules work in conjunction with a text book - Modern Dental Assisting Manual and Work Book.

There is a significant on-the-job component. This requires the student to carry out specific exercises in a clinical setting. Each student will be required to produce evidence of knowledge and skills demonstrated at the work place.

Worksheets are provided for activities that are checked or marked by the course facilitator and the practice manager or senior staff.

The actual number of hours each student will take to complete the course will be dependent upon prior learning and experience, and each student’s ability to successfully achieve the competencies as identified in each module.

Support sessions of classroom practical/theory tuition can be made available with a fully qualified lecturer to provide you with clear direction throughout the programme, the course will also include support and assessment visits at your surgery. You can also attend lectures with our part-time or full-time students in Bunbury, Mandurah, Geraldton and Perth.

ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

Each student will be formally assessed. Assessment throughout the course will consist of continuous appraisal of all project work, assignments, tests and practical exercises.
Each student will receive a student record book. It contains a comprehensive list of the theoretical and practical competencies required to achieve competency in Infection control and Sterilization. As each competency is achieved an authorised person may sign it off in the student record book. The mode of assessment will be dependent upon the particular competency being scrutinized.
