Frequently asked questions
What is the ORE Part 2 exam?
ORE Part 2 is the practical stage of the GDC's Overseas Registration Examination, testing your clinical skills across four components: Dental Manikin, OSCE, Diagnosis & Treatment Planning, and Medical Emergencies.
Do I need to pass ORE Part 1 before taking Part 2?
Yes. You can only sit ORE Part 2 once you've passed both papers of ORE Part 1 and been added to the GDC's Part 2 candidate list.
Can I prepare for ORE Part 2 from outside the UK?
The OSCE, DTP and Medical Emergencies theory course is delivered online and can be started from anywhere, at any time. The Manikin course and Skilled OSCE sessions are hands-on and require attending in person in Weybridge or Bolton.
How many attempts do I get at ORE Part 2?
Candidates are allowed up to four attempts, and must pass Part 2 within five years of first attempting Part 1. Please confirm current limits directly with the GDC, as policies can change.
Does this course also help with the LDS practical exam?
Yes — the Manikin course is also relevant for candidates on the LDS pathway preparing for its practical assessment. Ask us for guidance on which exact LDS stage applies to your situation.

I'm an overseas dentist from Ukraine I recommend Dental Hygienist Advisory Board to any overseas dentist or dental hygienist that wish to register and work in the UK.

Hala Diab
Granted in One Attempt
I am Hala, an overseas dentist from Libya. I applied for dental hygienist registration with GDC last year and I am so so happy my application was granted in one attempt. I also got my GDC number in December last year and i’ve been working as Hygienist since then. I would like to thank my advisor for his help with my application & documentation I needed. Thank you for being so concerned always about my application during the process and handling my enquiries even during weekend and nights and always being there for me. I recommend Avi and the Dental Hygienist Advisory Board team with a pleasure.
Sarah Alnaho
Helped with GDC Rejection
I'm an overseas dentist from Iraq and wanted to register as a Dental Hygienist in the UK. I had applied to the GDC but got rejected, that's when I started to look for some support and found Dental Hygienist Advisory Board through recommendation. The response from them was so fast and comforting which was so much-needed due to the limited time to re-apply to GDC without any additional fees. Avi and his team helped me step by step to fulfil all the deficiencies from the rejection and directed me to the right path. Shortly after, I got a positive decision from the GDC. I got help and support throughout the process of registration and even after I've got my registration with GDC.

Exemplary - In one word
In one word, I would describe the services provided by Avi and his team as exemplary. The help I received to put together my application was enormous starting from the very first phonecall during which Avi touched on even the smallest detail regarding the application process which was instrumental in me taking an informed decision on whether or not to take up this task. Once you decide to embark on this journey, then guidance and assistance is provided at each and every step in the form of a message or call.With God's grace, Avi's support I was able to got registered as both Dental hygienist and therapist in 4 months time and in the first attempt itself. What surprised me the most is even after you get registered, Avi's team continues to extend their support to help you get back to practice by recommending courses to polish your skills and take up the new role with expertise and confidence. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who decides to get registered in the UK as either a dental hygienist / therapist.
