Why should you opt for my Dental Radiology courses?

Dear Respected Colleague,

Thank you for your interest in my Dental Radiology courses (https://cbctopglicensing.com.au). If you’re wondering, “Why should I opt for these 4 courses?” here are 15 compelling reasons

  • I bring to the table over 20 years of global teaching experience in Dental Radiology, 13 of which were in Australia. My dedication to student learning in Radiology has been recognized with multiple competitive awards within Australia.
  • My courses, particularly CBCT and 2D Radiography interpretation, are highly interactive from the very first slide. This high engagement level rules out recorded formats of the lectures. Previous attendees note a significant boost in confidence and understanding of Dental Radiology post-course completion.
  • My courses are enriched with animations and self-directed videos, making challenging subjects like CBCT and OPG/Lat Ceph licensing more interesting.
  • The integration of clinical aspects within the licensing course enhances its appeal. Pre-reading material are sent to registrants immediately and automatically as and when the participant registers by making the payment. 
  • In my courses, complex concepts are broken down and presented clearly, at a pace suitable for learning, as highlighted by many dentists in their feedback.
  • I believe in straightforward teaching with a focus on evidence-based lectures. I eliminate ambiguity or unnecessary information, ensuring maximum value for your time.
  • My 2D Radiography interpretation course includes over 300 radiographs and clinical pictures, with key takeaways for each pathology.
  • I offer various discounts throughout the year, including Group Offers. Flexible payment options and plans also make the courses accessible.
  • The course dates are flexible. If you can’t attend a registered course for personal reasons, please contact me, and I’ll place you in the next session.
  • My CBCT and OPG/Lat Ceph licensing courses are approved by various state Radiation Health Authorities and have been conducted for several years. My CBCT interpretation and 2D Radiography interpretation courses are verified by the New Zealand Dental Association. I see many NZ dentists attending my courses.
  • All four courses are conducted online monthly via Zoom, saving you travel and accommodation expenses and letting you learn from the comfort of your home.
  • The licensing courses (CBCT and OPG Lat Ceph) are now available as Pre-recorded courses as well. This meant that you can do the course at your own pace and you will have access to the course/s for 3 months.
  • All zoom courses occur on Sundays, a preferred day for most dental practitioners.
  • Upon completing the course, your confidence in Radiology will significantly increase. This is confirmed by many past participants.
  • The main focus of my courses is on providing value!

These are the 15 reasons you should consider my courses. I hope this information proves helpful.

Cheers,

Dr Amar Sholapurkar
