Aspire Dental Reviews 

As a delegate on both the Advanced Restorative and Endodontics Courses, I have found that both courses are fundamental pillars of my ongoing dental education.

I started the restorative course a year ago and I am now coming to the final day. After Day 3, I realised that the quality of teaching was of such a high standard that I decided to enrol onto the Endodontic course. I am currently halfway through the Endodontic course and I am now able to carry out a Root Canal Treatment to a Specialist standard.

The depth of knowledge gained and hands on training that the course has provided is invaluable. I have not referred a single endodontic case externally since starting the course. Furthermore, I am now taking on internal referrals from other Associates in my practice for complex Root Canal Treatments. Undergoing the restorative course has also allowed me to carry out more comprehensive advanced cases confidently. Additionally, I was fully supported by Richard, Raheel and Vishal when any difficulties arose.

The key difference I have found between Aspire and other courses I have undertaken, are the Teaching Staff, all of who are highly knowledgeable, influential and approachable. In addition to this, the emphasis on hands on learning was highly beneficial for my learning style. Richard and Raheel were happy to sit next to you while preparing a tooth if required, to make sure your preparations were to a high standard.

Their teaching skills were very versatile, friendly and most importantly, fun! Feedback was always constructive and helpful.

As mentioned earlier, the staff and the ongoing support provided by the teaching team was amazing. Aspire also has a forum in which a network of Aspire delegates were always available to assist you with complicated cases. All of which was provided in a completely non-judgemental and open manner.

The Restorative course was recommended by a colleague of mine and I have no regrets on completing the course. I encourage any GDPs who want to improve their restorative/endodontic skills to enrol and become an Aspire delegate. The courses will benefit newly graduated dentists or even experienced practitioners who want to update their skills.

Whether you’re a GDP in NHS/Mixed/Private Practice, the Aspire courses completely changes your mindset and the way you look at your patients. It allows you to provide your patients with functional predictable Dentistry, thus taking your Dentistry to the next level.

A huge thank you to Richard, Raheel and Vish for all of your help and your ongoing support.

I was very fortuneate to be on the first Aspire Restorative and Endodontic course. From day one I knew it was one of the best decisions I had made in my dental career. The quality of the content, methods of teaching delivery, amount of hands on practice are simply fanstatsic and not only are you armed to put it all into practice, there is an incredible support platform to help you along the way too. Richard, Raheel and Vishal are approachable, friendly and dynamic dental geniuses! I have recommended the course to so many people and will continue to do so as it is one of best ( and I have attended numerous both in the uk and internationally!) j

Great courses and a game changer! The teaching by Dr Richard Porter and Raheel Malik is second to none. After completing both the Restorative and the Advanced Endodontics courses I have been able to make the move into private practice. If you are thinking about investing in your career and want to learn how to do high quality dentistry that is predictable and works, then I would highly recommend these guys.

I completed the Aspire Restorative Course in 2016. I have to say it's been one of the best courses I have been on. It is well coordinated and hands on. The skills learnt are transferable into practice following the sessions, so you can be sure you will put to use what you have learnt. Richard and Raheel take their time to come round to each delegate so you get that one to one feedback on how you are doing. I lacked confidence in my skills and this course not only restored my confidence but I gained further knowledge in carrying out predictable dentistry. The course overview is concise and evidence based. You are provided with further reading studies and articles if you wanted to deepen your understanding on the subject but I found the handouts provided had condensed and summarised the important aspects. I can truly recommend this course for those who are looking to learn techniques to carry out predictable dentistry and bring something new to your practice.

I was on Aspire's first course and was by far the oldest and therefore the most experienced dentist which also means the one who had done the post postgraduate education. This was the best course I have done it had the combination of excellent content and more importantly really good hands on, both Richard and Raheel are brilliant at their explanations, teaching and to me, more importantly, their patience and understanding of everyone ability and level.Knowing they are there after the course to give support also makes a big difference to other courses
