Step 4 – Qualify ORE Part 1
We are looking at the various steps to Qualify the registration process to work as a dentist in the UK.
In the last slide, we saw the requirements till you send the application form for ORE Exam.
Once you send all the necessary documents along with completely filled application form, then you need to wait for the GDC to contact you.
Official Sequence of Events once you apply for the exam
Once GDC receives your application form, they will:
-
send you an acknowledgment by email within five working days;
-
check all your documents;
-
contact you if there is a problem with your application;
-
contact your referees. For further information, please read ORE Application Reference Check (95.5 KB, PDF)
-
email you eGDC account log-in instructions once your application has been successful.
Now, your application has been approved and your eGDC login credentials have been emailed to you.
The next step for you is to completely fill up your account and profile at GDC.
Then you will have to wait for the exam dates (ORE 1) to be made available. You will get the information via e-mail and also on the official website.
Once the exams dates (ORE 1) are made public, then you can book for the exams using your account at eGDC.
In the mail, you will be informed that a Part 1 ORE exam is available for booking and you will be eligible to book a place, however, you are not guaranteed a place as there may be more candidates wishing to book than there are places available. Please note that All places on exams will be booked on a first come first served basis.
In case the candidate misses applying for the ORE exam for a period more than 12 months, then he/she again needs to submit to the GDC Exams Team a new valid Certificate of Good Standing
Payments for the exams:
Payment of the full exam fee is required at the time of the booking. Credit or debit card payments must be made online via the eGDC website.
Official GDC statement on Visa & Immigration
The functions of the GDC are separate from those in charge of administering visas. Therefore, the GDC is unable to advise on visas. Candidates are responsible for ensuring that they are permitted to be in the UK to take the exam that they are booked on to. For information on visas and entry to the UK, please contact the UK Border and Immigration Agency.
If you make payment for an exam and then are unable to obtain a visa, you will not be refunded your fees. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can obtain a visa before you make payment for an exam.
