There are 2 pathways for ITDs to become NDEB certified in Canada:
1- NDEB direct licensing
2- University degree qualifying programs (this pathway is available only to PRs and Citizens of Canada)
For the direct licensing pathway, ITDs must pass 3 different exams:
- AFK (Assessment of Fundamental Knowledge)
- ACJ (Assessment of Clinical Judgment)
- NDECC (National Dental Examination of Clinical Competence)
For the university pathway, the steps depend on the university you want to apply to.
