Busting Myths About Distance Orthodontic Learning

In recent years, we’ve seen a radical change in the traditional concept of learning as more and more educational institutions opt for a digital teaching approach. While it has obvious benefits, there are still a great many myths that surround the idea of remote learning. We want to help you see through these misconceptions and provide you with a convenient and flexible pathway to achieving your aspirations. The sky’s the limit; why not reach for it from within the comfort of your home or workplace?

Myth 1: Online courses can’t be  accredited and lack credibility 

Some people have concerns about the credibility of online qualifications. They believe these courses don’t carry the same value as on-campus degrees and certifications. While you should be cautious when choosing an online Orthodontic diploma, you can rest assured that the diploma course offered by LDi has been accredited in partnership with the official postgraduate awarding body EduQual. EduQual is a regulated awarding body, approved by SQA-Accreditation, a globally-recognized qualifications regulator in the UK. The course meets the teaching hour requirements of a Level 7 course, which is a Master level equivalence to equip you with sound knowledge and skills needed to excel in your career.

Myth 2: There is very limited interaction with instructors and colleagues

Are you worried that distance learning is an isolated mode of education that entails little to no interaction with academics, fellow peers, and student support services? Well, worry no more. Apart from the interactive live study clubs, LDi also provides access to a private forum where all students can discuss their cases and receive advice and suggestions from qualified tutors.

Think of it as a virtual platform that allows you to be part of a bigger group with different professional experiences from around the world. We ensure that you receive a collaborative learning experience by enabling you to engage with your peers, discuss topics further, and develop higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills to boost your confidence. The faculty is super facilitating and always there to support you through your one-year diploma!
