🦷 Now we are getting to know another one of our team - Gayle – who is one of our amazing Assessors and Internal verifiers here at Ident Training

🪥 How long have you worked in dentistry?
I have worked in dentistry for 39years (omg) much longer than I would like to admit. I started dental nursing in the youth training scheme and earned a grand total of £29 per week. When I first started in dental nursing I done the NEBDN qual and in 2010 I also done my SVQ Level 3 in dental nursing so I have 1st hand experience of the joys of working and studying at the same time.

⭐ What do you love most about your role?
I enjoy getting to know new students and helping them at the start of their journey. I also love to share stories of what it was like working in practice in the ‘black and white days’

🎓 What’s your favourite part of supporting/teaching our learners?
The best part is seeing students hard work paid off at the end of their qualification. It’s a great feeling know we have played a small part in their achievement!

I like the relationship we build with our students, supporting them from the beginning, seeing them gain their qualification and gaining confidence in themselves.
