Working as an apprentice dental nurse for a day

17 year old Josh tries out being an apprentice dental nurse for a day. Josh gets some helpful advice about how to choose a career from a leading careers mentor, Aimee Bateman. At an award-winning dental practice, Josh finds out that dental nursing is for both men and women. Josh also shadows a qualified dental nurse, Philippa Brown and asks her about how she started as an apprentice and what her training involved.

An apprenticeship can be a terrific way into a job, to earn while you learn and can offer a real alternative to University for many young people. With school students now having to stay in full time education or training until the age of 18, this provides plenty of useful advice to those who may benefit from a vocational education setting.
