Tools

We’ve created a set of tools to guide you on the path to becoming a Registered Canadian Dental Technology Professional.

Credential Self-Evaluation Tool

Use the Credential Self-Evaluation tool to self-evaluate your course syllabi and practice experience against the minimum. Our CADTR Credential Evaluator uses the same criteria to assess your academic and practice experience across five program areas, each containing multiple, specific content components or elements.

Knowledge-Based Assessment (KBA) Practice Tool

Use this tool as a study aid for success. Our practice questions mimic the content and structure of actual KBA: 75 multiple choice, multiple select and image-based questions based on the KBA Master Blueprint. For a realistic assessment experience, aim to complete it within a 90-minute time limit. When done, review your report to determine which areas of study need improvement.

PLAR Self-Assessment Tool

This self-assessment tool is designed to help you understand the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be successful on the competency-based portfolio assessment conducted as part of the PLAR Pathway for credentialing. It allows you to assess your own knowledge and skills against the competency requirements, helping you make an informed decision as to whether this pathway is the right option for you at this time or in the future.

Cost Estimator

This interactive calculator helps you determine the costs you may incur on your path to becoming a Canadian registered dental technologist/technician.
