Sample Course Details
The plan further below is only a guide to what we will cover over the duration of the course. Our aim is to offer you the most comprehensive curriculum possible and we will constantly be adding new elements to the 6 week timetable to ensure we make it the most beneficial course available.
Certain timescales within any block may change to allow sufficient time for all students to complete each section thoroughly.
Throughout the course you will not only design and sculpt your own prosthetics and learn to apply them all, large and small, but there will be many other varied projects such as the creation of teeth veneers and other dental Fx work also. This will allow you to build up a valuable portfolio of your own work demonstrating the extensive skills you will learn with us.
The School and its tutors will adapt the plan according to the students learning abilities to ensure that all the critical areas from lifecasting, mould making, sculpting to application skills are fully understood and practiced.
* Where appropriate, we will arrange for related industry guest speakers to visit and give a small talk about what they do and their experiences in the current industry.
