What an LDS Part 1 course includes
Our lds part 1 course guide explains what overseas dentists need: the Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) Part 1 assesses whether your knowledge matches the standard expected of a newly qualified UK dentist. The written papers cover applied basic sciences, clinical sciences, pharmacology, pathology, radiography and dental materials — similar in format to ORE Part 1.
Most successful candidates prepare through self-study: the ORE/LDS revision book, question bank and mock exam papers from our LDS Part 1 shop. Focused tutor sessions (£60) are optional if you want live help on specific subjects.
This LDS Part 1 course guide supports overseas dentists preparing for the LDS route to UK registration. Use our LDS Part 1 course resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy shop products for structured LDS preparation.

Is LDS Part 1 the same as ORE Part 1?
Both are written SBA/EMQ exams for overseas registration, but they are separate examinations with different application processes. Preparation resources overlap — our ORE/LDS revision book and question bank cover both written formats.
Do I need a tutor-led course or can I self-study LDS Part 1?
Most candidates pass Part 1 through self-study using the revision book, question bank and mock papers. Focused tutor sessions are optional when you want live help on specific syllabus topics.
How do focused preparation sessions work?
Sessions run on request between 10am and 1pm UK time. You choose the subjects, book through the product page, and receive targeted tutor-led teaching alongside your self-study materials.
Can I buy Part 1 resources without committing to a full course?
Every item in our LDS Part 1 shop is available individually — revision book, question bank, mock papers or the book + bank bundle at £250.
How long should I prepare before sitting LDS Part 1?
Most overseas dentists need three to six months of structured revision, daily SBA/EMQ practice and at least one timed mock cycle before booking their exam date.
