"I had failed OET twice before finding WispGold. Sarah broke down every letter task in a way I finally understood, and the speaking clinics gave me the confidence to answer a real patient without freezing. Passed with a B in every sub-skill on my next sitting."
ORE Part 1 Preparation Course for Overseas Dentists
Structured online preparation for ORE Part 1, built around the published blueprint.

Course overview
ORE Part 1 is the assessment that opens the door to clinical dentistry practice, and preparing for it while working full clinical hours is the real challenge. This WispGold programme is built around the published ORE Part 1 format — two written papers of single-best-answer and extended-matching questions — so nothing in your revision is guesswork. You start with a diagnostic review that shows exactly where your knowledge sits against the blueprint, then work through structured modules that move from core principles to the applied judgement the examiners reward. Every topic is taught by clinicians who have sat the same assessment, so the teaching stays practical: what a question is really testing, how marks are awarded, and which shortcuts cost candidates points. Weekly question sets, timed mocks under exam conditions and written feedback keep your progress measurable rather than hopeful. Because our cohorts are international, sessions are recorded and scheduled in rotating slots, and you keep access for twelve months from enrolment. WispGold is an independent education provider; our training is aligned with the General Dental Council blueprint and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by General Dental Council. You register for the assessment directly with them.
