Approach to learning and assessment

This program places a large emphasis on competent clinical demonstration to enable students to meet all National Training Package and Australian Dental Council Standards. 

Development of underpinning knowledge is attained by attending theory lectures, participation in simulated practice and via self directed learning. Assessment of underpinning knowledge includes short answer/multiple choice questioning, written assessments, assignments, ongoing patient records journal and group/individual oral presentations.  

You will further develop your technical skills by participating in clinical treatments of Dental Hospital patients. Assessment will be through demonstration of completed prostheses.

If you have a long term medical condition, disability and/or other form of disadvantage it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or the Equitable Learning Service if you would like to find out more.

Work integrated learning

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice. As a student enrolled in this RMIT University program you will:

• undertake and be assessed on structured activities that allow you to learn, apply and demonstrate your professional or vocational practice;
• complete these activities in real work contexts or situations; and
• these interactions and the work context provide a distinctive source of feedback to you to assist your learning.

During you time in the Advanced Diploma of Dental Prosthetics you will participate in a two day a week clinical placement with Dental Health Services Victoria at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne. Working as part of the wider dental health team you will develop your clinical skills under supervision in a working public hospital with support from both RMIT and the staff at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne.

Program transition plan

To ensure training packages are responsive to industry priorities for new and updated skills, they are monitored and reviewed during their endorsement period. Sometimes the outcome of a review is that a qualification is superseded by a new version of the qualification, or a new qualification altogether.
