What an MFDS Part 1 course includes

Our mfds part 1 course guide explains what overseas dentists need: the MFDS Part 1 exam tests applied dental knowledge through single best answer (SBA) questions across clinical and basic sciences. Candidates typically combine syllabus review, daily SBA practice and timed mock-style questions before their sitting.

Our Complete MFDS Part 1 Course Package is a tutor-led two-day programme listed in the MFDS courses. Many candidates also start with our 50 free MFDS SBA questions before committing to a full course.

This MFDS Part 1 course guide supports dentists preparing for MFDS Part 1 and Part 2 through the Faculty of Dental Surgery. Use our MFDS Part 1 course resources alongside official CGdent (College of General Dentistry) guidance and Enamel Academy courses for structured preparation.
