I recently cleared my part-1 in march 2026.Meantime i also applied for a master’s program which starts by july.

can Someone recommend the options available for osce & technicals coaching.

i had heard names for OSCE-Dr.Nazya/Lavanika
Technicals-Lavanika/manpreet/bedo/

Confused in choosing from above. Any opinions/review on their coaching would be of great help.

Also, Can someone guide me on how to take this forward all technical courses require us to be onsite for full day (approx 2-3 weeks) :/

Hey everyone, I’m an Indian BDS graduate currently planning to start my ADC journey and hopefully move to Australia within the next year. I’ve been researching a lot, but honestly I still feel pretty overwhelmed and would really appreciate guidance from people who’ve been through it or are currently preparing.

A few things I’d love help with:

• What should I study first for the ADC written exam?
• Which resources/coaching platforms/books are actually worth it? (Recall questions, Dental Decks, Australian guidelines, etc.)
• Is self-study enough, or is coaching necessary?
• Realistically, how difficult is the ADC exam for an international dentist?
• How many attempts do most people need to clear it?
• Is becoming a dentist in Australia genuinely worth it in terms of career growth, work-life balance, and finances?
• After clearing ADC, how hard is it to secure registration/job opportunities?

Also, if anyone here is currently preparing for ADC and would like a serious study partner/accountability buddy, please reach out. It would be great to connect, share resources, stay consistent, and make this process less isolating.

I’m genuinely committed but just need some direction from people who know the reality beyond YouTube videos.

Any honest advice, personal experiences, resource recommendations, or study group suggestions would mean a lot. Thank you!

I am looking through all the academies for Part 2 preparation and it’s all so confusing. I am looking for someone who has attempted Part 2 and can help with some basic doubts. While I do appreciate your feedback on academies, I am looking for someone that can just answer some basic questions about what’s needed and what isn’t honestly. Please DM if you can help with this!
All suggestions will be helpful:)

Hey everyone 👋

I’m planning to take the ADC practical exam in the future, but before that I’d really like to spend some time in Australia to get exposure to the healthcare system and hopefully observe or work in a clinic/dental environment.

For someone in this situation, what are the best options available? And which visa pathway would make the most sense?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been through this or has any advice. Thanks a lot!

what do you recommend in that topic for part 1 exam
i could study online in a local one or i choose a global one like academically or any other one
