Jessica completed her Dental Nurse apprenticeship with independent training provider Performance Through People in 2024 and was supported by her tutor, Amy Johnson.
Reflecting on the experience, Jessica said: “I completed my Dental Nurse apprenticeship with PTP and Amy as a tutor… it was one of the best courses I’ve ever completed. Amy was an amazing tutor. I passed at what I believe was around 95% for the exam.”
Since qualifying, Jessica has continued to thrive. She now works in an outstanding dental practice in Uttoxeter, where strong leadership and a supportive environment have helped her develop. Her passion for dentistry has grown, leading her to train to be an Oral Health Educator.
She visits schools – often dressed as a tooth fairy – and is planning to run sessions in care homes and prenatal classes. These experiences have strengthened her confidence and allowed her to make a difference beyond the practice.
Jessica explains: “The achievement of being a dental nurse brings me pride and joy… I want to continue to move forward, increase my dentistry knowledge, and become a valued member of my practice.”
Her tutor, Amy Johnson, added: “She is the epitome of what an apprenticeship is all about: the opportunity to learn, become comfortable and skilled, and use that as a foundation to achieve more.”
