Programme Introduction
About this programme
🎓 Licensing Exam Prep
✅ Exam-Focused
📊 Structured Practice
The NDEB Assessment of Clinical Judgment (ACJ) tests whether internationally trained dentists can apply sound clinical judgement to treatment planning, using realistic, case-based scenarios rather than isolated fact recall.
Success on the ACJ depends on practising structured clinical decision-making across realistic patient cases, since the exam specifically assesses judgement and treatment planning rather than pure knowledge recall.
TerraLeap’s NDEB ACJ Preparation programme is a case-based course for IDGs targeting Canada, covering clinical judgment, treatment planning, and exam technique.
The programme covers structured clinical judgement development, treatment planning across realistic case scenarios, and exam technique specific to the ACJ format.
Structured exam preparation — built to turn practice into a passing score.
