Apprenticeships offer valued route to career in dentistry

Nov 12, 2025 | News

Apprenticeships offer a valuable route into the dental profession, combining hands-on experience with formal qualifications.

Dental professionals are consistently in demand, making dentistry a stable career with excellent growth prospects.

A popular route into dentistry is the Level 3 Dental Nurse Apprenticeship, which leads to a nationally recognised qualification such as the GDC-approved Dental Nursing Certificate.

For dental practices, apprenticeships provide a cost-effective way to recruit and retain staff, while building a resilient and skilled team.

Government funding also supports training, making it an accessible option for many practices.

Ladder partner and independent training provider PTP Training works with dental practices across the region, including Pelsall Lane Dental Practive, which has seen the benefits of apprenticeships.

The practice has been part of the Kotadia family for more than 30 years.

Established by Dr Altaf Kotadia, the practice welcomed his daughter, Dr Aleeya Kotadia, in 2016.

She took ownership in 2022 and continues to lead the business.

The practice is committed to supporting the next generation of dental professionals, regularly offering apprenticeship positions for dental nursing and it has worked closely with PTP Training for many years.
