VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Clinical teaching from our expert faculty, available whenever you are.

The LDI Virtual Learning Environment puts structured postgraduate teaching, practical demonstrations and 1:1 clinical support on desktop and mobile, so you can study around your full clinical week.

How you’ll study

Modules at your pace

Content is released in sequence as theory, video guides and on-demand lectures, so you can study in the gaps a clinical week allows.

Practical demonstrations

Techniques shown step by step on video, there to rewatch as often as you need before you try them yourself.

Feedback on your cases

Submit the cases you are treating and get guidance from the LDI clinical tutor team.

Live study clubs

Regular live sessions to work through clinical topics and treatment planning with faculty and other dentists on your course.

A worldwide community

Compare approaches and discuss cases with dentists across more than 90 countries.

Inside the VLE

Everything you need for a course sits in one place, reachable on desktop or through the LDI app.

Structured interactive modules

Theory, video guides and lectures, released in the order you need them.

Live study clubs

Scheduled online sessions to work through real cases with faculty and peers.

1:1 Clinical Case Support

Get direct clinical support and mentoring on your own cases from specialist tutors.

Hands-on training, anywhere in the world

The VLE and your Clinical Simulation Kit work as one. Every Diploma student is sent a kit of training models, instruments and equipment, matched to the practical exercises in the course.

You follow each technique on the VLE’s demonstration videos, then practise it on the models in front of you, repeating both as often as you need before you treat a patient. As you take on your own cases, the clinical tutor team reviews your progress and gives feedback through the VLE.

A qualification that travels

Our Diploma programmes are endorsed by EduQual, a regulated awarding body approved by SQA-Accreditation in the UK.

Studying online changes how you learn, not what you earn. Graduates hold the same Diploma, recognised the same way, as they would from any classroom route, which is why dentists in more than 90 countries have chosen to study with LDI.

Lectures were really inspiring and have influenced heavily how I managed dental implants and my own philosophy. I feel it has really made a difference on the quality of my placement and considerations for bone graft, soft tissues and prosthetics.
