Beginner or Advanced Beginner? How to Choose Your Level and Start Today
Every student in our program gets the same teaching. What you choose is the speed. Pick the level that matches how confident you are in your basics, and the whole program is paced around you.
Same teaching. Different speed.
Most programs make you choose between a slow, thorough course and a fast, thin one. We do not. Both levels teach everything. The level decides how much time you get and how tight your schedule is.
More time to accomplish each stageA slower-paced program with longer deadlines. You go through the Modules, then the Master Files, then the Master Test Series, with room to let each stage settle before the next one begins.
Everything in Beginner, fasterYou still receive all the teachings of the Beginner course, at a faster pace and on a faster schedule. It is for students who are really confident about their basics. The only difference is speed.

I graduated three or more years ago
Choose Beginner
Years in practice teach you dentistry, but they blur the textbook detail the INBDE still asks about. Beginner gives you the time to rebuild your basics properly through the Modules before you meet the exam-style questions. Our 6-month access is the natural fit. Read the full plan for graduates of three or more years ago.
I am confident about my basics and my exam date is close
Choose Advanced Beginner
You get every teaching in the program, at a faster pace and on a faster schedule. If your foundation is genuinely strong, this is the level that respects your time. Our 3-month access is the natural fit.
I am working full-time or part-time
Choose Beginner, and give yourself the runway
Limited hours are exactly what the slower pace is for. Longer deadlines mean a packed week does not push you out of the program. See how to pace the same program around a job in the 6-month plan for working dentists.
I study full-time and I know my basics well
Advanced Beginner fits, if you are honest about the basics
Full-time hours plus a strong foundation is the combination the faster schedule was built for. If any subject makes you hesitate, take Beginner instead and keep the extra time. See the full-time student plan.
I am not sure
Start with Beginner, then ask us
One question decides it: are you really confident about your basics? If you hesitate, Beginner costs you nothing but a little more time. If you would like guidance choosing the right level, message our Admin Team with Dr. T and Dr. Kaur on WhatsApp and we will help.
The same three stages, in the same order
Whichever level you choose, your preparation runs in this sequence.
Pick your level. Pick your runway.
A licensed US dentist earns a median of about $176,000 a year. The program is priced against that outcome, and the guarantee puts the risk on us.
