What an LDS Part 2 course covers

Our lds part 2 course guide explains what overseas dentists need: after passing Part 1, LDS candidates face Part 2 — a multi-component clinical examination testing how you apply knowledge in UK-style scenarios. Components typically include diagnostic and treatment planning (DTP), OSCE stations and medical emergency management.

Enamel Academy offers books, digital resources, tutor-led intensives and comprehensive bundles with WhatsApp support — each mapped to a specific Part 2 component. Secure Part 1 first, then build a Part 2 plan around your exam date before moving to Part 3.

This LDS Part 2 course guide supports overseas dentists preparing for the LDS route to UK registration. Use our LDS Part 2 course resources alongside official GDC guidance and Enamel Academy shop products for structured LDS preparation. See also: LDS Part 1 course, LDS Part 3 course, LDS exam guide.

LDS Part 2 course — common questions

What does LDS Part 2 test?

Part 2 is a multi-component clinical exam — typically including diagnostic and treatment planning (DTP), OSCE stations and medical emergency scenarios. Enamel Academy resources map to each component in our LDS Part 2 shop.

When should I start LDS Part 2 preparation?

Focus on passing Part 1 first. Structured Part 2 prep works best once Part 1 is secured and you have a realistic exam timeline from the Royal College of Surgeons.

Which Part 2 product should I buy first?

Many candidates start with the Complete Part 2 Bundle for breadth, or target a weak area — the DTP book, OSCE & ME book, or a Study-Buddy intensive. Check each product page for what is included.

How is LDS Part 2 different from Part 3?

Part 2 focuses on DTP, OSCE and medical emergency components. Part 3 is the final clinical stage with operative and manikin-based assessment — plan each part separately.

Can I prepare for Part 2 without attending a physical course?

Yes. Books, digital resources and the interactive course support self-directed Part 2 preparation. Tutor-led intensives are available if you want structured live coaching.

Do I need to pass Part 2 before Part 3?

Yes. LDS is a three-part examination — you must pass Part 1, then Part 2, before sitting Part 3. Build your study plan around this sequence.
