What Our Students Say

Real experiences from candidates who trained with us for their LDS and CPD exams.

“I attended Nancy’s LDS Part 3 course, and I’m truly grateful for all her guidance and support. I was extremely anxious and nervous about the exam, but Nancy personally helped me manage my anxiety, build my confidence, and prepare for even the most challenging situations. Her mock sessions, clinical guidance, and constant support made such a difference. She genuinely cared about helping me do well, and I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you so much, Nancy and the Best Dental training team!”

“Thank you so much for helping me through my LDS Part 2 preparation. When I started the course, I did not even fully understand what the Part 2 examination involved. After less than two months with Nancy, I felt genuinely confident and prepared to sit the exam, including the new format of LDS 2.

I loved how well-planned OSCE and SCR sessions were. The feedback was constructive but, most importantly, honest - there was no false encouragement! I found this important because realistic feedback is what truly helps you identify your weaknesses and improve.

I am grateful to Dr Nancy and the entire Best Dental Training team for their support and guidance throughout my preparation for the LDS Part 2 examination.

The course was extremely helpful in preparing me for the different components of the exam, but I found the medical emergency training particularly valuable. Medical emergencies can be quite daunting in an OSCE, especially when you are under time pressure, but the course helped me develop a structured approach to recognising and managing emergencies confidently and safely.

The teaching covered all the emergency scenarios in a very practical and exam-focused way. We were taught not just what to say, but how to assess the patient systematically, prioritise management, communicate effectively and demonstrate appropriate emergency treatment.

I also really appreciated the emphasis on clinical reasoning, communication and examiner expectations. The practice sessions and feedback helped me identify my weaknesses and improve the way I approached different stations in respect to my communication skills. The actors feedback was really helpful and Dr Nancy taught us how to answer SCR questions.

I am delighted to say that I passed my LDS Part 2 examination, and I genuinely believe that the preparation and guidance I received from Best Dental Training contributed to my success.

A special thank you to Dr Nancy for her dedication and encouragement. I would recommend Best Dental Training to anyone who wants strong, practical preparation for medical emergencies and OSCE stations.

Thank you BEST DENTAL TRAINING!!

I can honestly say it has been one of the most valuable learning experiences for my exam preparation.

What makes this course stand out is that it doesn’t teach you to memorise answers, it helps you understand concepts and develop the ability to think like a safe clinician. The emphasis is on structured communication, clinical reasoning, and answering in a logical, sequential manner, just as you would with a real patient in practice. It completely changes your approach from learning scripts to understanding how to adapt your communication based on the situation.

The Structured Clinical Reasoning (SCR) sessions are excellent. They teach you how to identify the key features of a case, organise your thoughts, and demonstrate safe clinical practice rather than simply recalling memorised answers. This has significantly improved my confidence and critical thinking.

The mock OSCEs were equally impressive. The actors were exceptionally well trained and made every station feel like a real clinical encounter. Their communication feedback, combined with Dr. Nancy’s clinical feedback, was incredibly valuable and helped me improve both my communication skills and clinical reasoning.

Overall, the course is extremely well organised, engaging, and practical. It genuinely prepares you for the exam while also making you a better communicator and clinician. I would highly recommend Best Dental Training and Dr. Nancy to anyone!

“My journey with Dr Nancy started from my LDS 2 Preparation - and I would say she was one of the biggest reasons for my part 2 success and was an exceptional teacher and a mentor throughout. Her mock exams were so helpful and was truly a test each time to see where I really stood. The feedback from Dr Nancy and from the real actors in the communication aspects, helped me a lot to improve the way I spoke with patients.”

A huge thank you to Dr. Nancy and best dental training team for all the support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the course.

I’d definitely recommend Best Dental Training to anyone preparing for LDS Part 2. Thank you, Dr. Nancy and the whole team, for all your help!

I highly recommend Dr. Nancy and her amazing team to anyone preparing for the LDS Part 2 exam. I enrolled in the Golden Package, which included 60 OSCE stations, live SCR sessions, and full Moodle access. The course was extremely well organized, and every resource was valuable in helping me prepare effectively. The OSCE practice, live teaching sessions, and comprehensive study materials gave me the confidence and skills I needed. Most importantly, Dr. Nancy's guidance, encouragement, and constant support made a huge difference throughout my preparation. I'm delighted to have passed the LDS Part 2 exam in June, and I'm truly grateful to Dr. Nancy and her team for helping me achieve this milestone. I wholeheartedly recommend their course to anyone preparing for the exam.

Dear Nancy and the Best Dental Training Team,

Thank you so much for helping me through my LDS Part 2 preparation. When I started the course, I did not even fully understand what the Part 2 examination involved. After less than two months with Nancy, I felt genuinely confident and prepared to sit the exam, including the new format of LDS 2.

I loved how well-planned OSCE and SCR sessions were. The feedback was constructive but, most importantly, honest - there was no false encouragement! I found this important because realistic feedback is what truly helps you identify your weaknesses and improve.

The mock examination was one of the highlights of the course. The realistic setting, from entering the examination room to a viva with professional actors and dentists, made the actual exam environment much less intimidating. I would also highly recommend the Medical Emergencies course. I absolutely loved how meticulous and detailed it was. The attention to detail was impeccable, and during the actual examination, the task requirements closely followed Nancy’s teaching, which gave me great confidence.

Finally, a huge thank you to Gerry and everyone at Best Dental Training working behind the scenes on the website, administration etc. You are absolute stars! 🌟❤️

I cannot recommend this LDS Part 2 training course highly enough. It was an exceptional learning experience and played a significant role in helping me pass my LDS Part 2 exam.

A very special thank you to Dr Nancy, who is an outstanding tutor. Her teaching style is clear, engaging, and incredibly supportive. She has a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and practical way, making it easier to understand and remember key points. Her patience, encouragement, and genuine commitment to every candidate’s success gave me so much confidence throughout my preparation.

The mock sessions were one of the best aspects of the course. Both the online and face-to-face mock exams were extremely well organised, highly informative, and closely reflected the actual LDS Part 2 exam. The detailed feedback and

realistic scenarios helped me identify my weaknesses, refine my communication and clinical reasoning skills, and significantly improve my performance before the real exam.

The tutors created a positive and encouraging learning environment where everyone felt supported. The course was well structured, comprehensive, and focused on what really matters for the exam.

I am truly grateful to Dr Nancy and the entire Best Dental Training team for their dedication, professionalism, and encouragement. Thanks to their guidance, I went into the exam feeling prepared and confident, and I successfully passed. I would wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone preparing for LDS Part 2.
