1. ASSESSMENT All applications for registration must pass through an assessment procedure. If the registrar feels that the application does not meet all requirements for registration, he/she will refer it to the Registration Committee for review.
A.EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
At present, an applicant must have a diploma from George Brown College in Denturism or an equivalent diploma or degree from another educational institution or jurisdiction to be eligible to attempt the qualifying examination. Should you hold a degree or diploma from another jurisdiction, you may be asked to have your credentials assessed, at your expense, by a recognized credential evaluation service.
B.APPLICATION FORM
Once the College has received your initial inquiry, you will be sent an application package. This package contains the forms to be completed and returned to the College along with a request for the pertinent documentation that is required to process your application.
2. QUALIFYING EXAMINATIONS The Registration Committee administers the qualifying examination which is held once per year. The examination is made up of two components - a written examination and a practical (clinical) examination. Eligible candidates must successfully complete the written examination before they will be permitted to attempt the practical examination.
Candidates must successfully complete both the written examination and the practical examination in order to qualify for a certificate of registration.
3. REGISTRATION Applicants who successfully complete both the written and clinical examinations are then eligible for certification as a denturist in the province of Ontario. In order to activate and maintain a certificate of registration, the member must complete an annual information form, pay the annual registration fees and meet any and all terms and conditions set by the College for a certificate of registration.
