How Onefile transformed Education for Dental apprenticeships

The Challenge

Education for Dental delivers high-quality dental nursing and oral health apprenticeships to learners and employers across the UK. Their model is built around flexible, remote delivery, supported by experienced tutors and a team of dental professionals.

But with this model came unique challenges – from supporting remote tutors effectively, to managing off-the-job training and keeping up with audit requirements. Paper-based portfolios and disjointed systems weren’t sustainable, especially as the organisation grew.

Education for Dental needed a solution that could bring everything together – giving tutors the tools to deliver quality training remotely, while maintaining consistency, compliance, and visibility across the board.

The Solution

With Onefile, Education for Dental found a system that could do it all – helping them plan, deliver, and monitor the entire learning journey online.

Tutors now use Onefile’s eportfolio to track progress, set tasks, and provide feedback in real time – all from a single, cloud-based platform. This flexibility is essential for their delivery model, where tutors are often working remotely across different regions.

Onefile also made it easier to demonstrate off-the-job training, stay on top of funding rules, and ensure every learner receives consistent, high-quality support – even when learning remotely.

IQAs use Onefile to carry out quality assurance activities efficiently, without relying on physical paperwork. And the reporting tools give managers instant access to key data, improving oversight and making audits far simpler.

The Impact

Onefile has transformed how Education for Dental delivers and manages apprenticeships. Their team now works more flexibly, with the confidence that compliance, consistency, and quality are built in.

By streamlining workflows and reducing admin, tutors can spend more time focusing on learners – building strong relationships with both apprentices and employers, and delivering the personalised support Education for Dental is known for.
