The NBC introduces Modularitzation

Are you ready to prove to your employer, your dentist and yourself that you are the best at what you do? If so, the National Board for Certification in Dental Laboratory Technology (NBC) Modularization Program is your next step to prove your skills.

The NBC Modularization program is comprised of short written and practical examinations that assess the competency of process/task technicians who perform a subset of the work required making dental prosthetics in a laboratory. There is a value to the industry to have a mechanism for determining the ability of such workers and to enable them to demonstrate their skill level to employers, dentists and themselves by earning a "Certificate of Competency" for the subset of work in which they specialize. This will be accomplished once a candidate has completed the module requirements of both a written and practical examination within a specific module.  The NBC Modularization program is NOT a certification program, although it is one pathway for entering into the Certified Dental Technician certification.  For more information visit: http://www.nbccert.org/modularization/2 .cfm
