WELCOME

Congratulations on accepting a place in the Bachelor of Dental Prosthetics (HED004) at TAFE Queensland. We look forward to welcoming you into the TAFE Queensland Higher Education community.

Your time with us will prepare you for an exciting and rewarding career as a Dental Prosthetist or Health Practitioner.

At TAFE Queensland, we deliver contemporary degrees in a practical, job-focused learning environment. Our students get the best of both worlds — the theoretical side of a university degree, with the applied-learning style that makes TAFE Queensland graduates so highly sought after by employers.

This course is suitable for both students wanting to take their existing oral health qualification to the next level, and students with no prior dental experience wishing to forge a new career path with a clinical qualification.

The Bachelor of Dental Prosthetics (HED004) is nationally recognised and endorsed as an accredited course by the Australian Dental Council, and it is approved by the Dental Board of Australia. While at TAFE Queensland, all students are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency by TAFE Queensland. TAFE Queensland is the only non-university provider in Dentistry in Australia to offer this course.

This handbook contains essential information you need to know. It includes information on your course structure, academic and other policies, and your responsibilities as a student at TAFE Queensland.

We wish you every success with your studies and are here to help. You are the reason we are here, and we look forward to helping you reach your full potential during your time with us.
