The online CBCT Level 1 course that waits for you.
If you refer patients for CBCT scans, or your practice has a scanner, Level 1 training is not optional — UK guidance requires it. This is that training: nine modules, online, in as many sittings as you like, with a numbered certificate at the end that anyone can verify.
You've got better things to do. Learn it when it suits you.
We sell CBCT scanners for a living, and we see the same thing every time: the machine goes in, the team learns the buttons, and the formal training gets postponed — because it usually means a Saturday in a hotel, three counties away.
So we built it online. Twenty minutes at a time if that is all you have — it stops where you stopped and picks up there next time.
Seven hours of verifiable enhanced CPD, mapped to GDC development outcomes C and D.
Nine modules · 87 slides · quiz after each one
Written from scratch, and checked line by line.
Every dose figure, regulation reference and image was written for this course and verified before it went in.
Sign up, work through it, get certified.
Sign up
Name, email and GDC number — the number goes on your certificate, so get it right. You’ll also confirm you hold five hours of radiography and radiation protection CPD from the last five years — your standard IRMER CPD.
Work through
Modules unlock in order. Five questions at the end of each one, four to pass. Stop and restart whenever you like.
Final exam
Fifteen questions drawn at random, twelve to pass. Get it wrong and you can sit it again — as many times as you need.
Certificate
A numbered PDF, emailed to you and stored in your account. Anyone can check it is real at learn.360v.co.uk/verify.
One price. No subscription.
You buy the course once and it is yours. There is no monthly fee, no renewal, and nothing that quietly rebills you in a year.
Compare it honestly: a day course is usually £300 to £500 once you have added the train, the hotel and a lost surgery day. This is £195 and costs you no clinical time at all.
Every member of the team can take it — but each person needs their own account, because CPD certificates are personal and have to name the individual.
VAT is added at checkout.
Every CBCT scanner we have supplied — whenever you bought it — comes with two free places on this course. Email hello@360v.co.uk or ring 01943 601222 and we will send your codes.
In person · West Yorkshire · led by Dr Ed Walker
Level 1 teaches you the principles. Reporting is a different skill.
Once you know what you are looking at, the next question is how to report the whole volume and write it up. That is taught in person by Dr Ed Walker, Consultant Dental & Maxillofacial Radiologist, at Octagon House near Keighley — hands-on datasets, live positioning on Carestream and Acteon machines, and a report writing masterclass. Fifteen delegates maximum.
A separate course, run and taught by Dr Walker. The online Level 1 above is ours, and is not part of his programme — but it is a sound grounding before you attend either.
In-person Level 2 · one day
The reporting day on its own, for dentists who have already completed an in-person CBCT Level 1 course.
- 6+ hours verifiable CPD
- Systematic review of the full volume
- Incidental findings and when to refer
- Take-home cases and a Zoom follow-up
Aims and objectives.
Aim: to give dental professionals a sound working knowledge of cone beam computed tomography — how it works, when it is justified, what the regulations require, and how to interpret what a scan shows.
On completing this course you will be able to:
- Explain how CBCT differs from conventional dental radiography, and where each is appropriate
- Apply the principles of justification and optimisation to a request for a cone beam scan
- Describe the duty holders and responsibilities set out in IR(ME)R, and identify which apply to you
- Handle referrals and patient imaging data lawfully
- Relate exposure factors, voxel size and field of view to dose and image quality
- Recognise normal anatomy of the jaws and adjacent structures in three planes
- Identify common artefacts, explain their causes and take steps to reduce them
- Recognise the limits of your own competence and know when to refer a scan for a specialist radiology report
Development outcomes C and D. Seven hours of verifiable enhanced CPD. Suitable for dentists, dental nurses, hygienists, therapists and practice managers. No prior CBCT experience is assumed.
Everything, for the one price.
Questions we're expecting
Is this verifiable CPD?
Yes. Seven hours of verifiable enhanced CPD, mapped to GDC development outcomes C and D. Combined with your standard five hours of radiography and radiation protection CPD, this completes the 12 hours of Level 1 training recommended by the 2020 Guidance Notes. You complete the modules, pass the exam, fill in the feedback form, and the certificate is issued with a number anyone can check at learn.360v.co.uk/verify.
How long do I have to finish it?
As long as you like. Access does not expire. The course remembers where you stopped, so twenty minutes between patients is a perfectly reasonable way to do it.
Do I need a CBCT machine?
No. Plenty of people take this before they buy one, or because they refer scans out and want to understand what comes back. If you are weighing up a scanner, the resources section at the end covers what they cost to buy and to run.
Can my whole team do it?
Yes, and they should — nurses included. Each person needs their own account, because a CPD certificate has to name the individual and carry their GDC number.
What if I fail the exam?
You sit it again. There is no limit and no extra charge. The questions are drawn at random from a pool, so you will not simply see the same fifteen.
Is this the same as the course Dr Ed Walker runs?
No. This online course is ours. Dr Walker's in-person courses at Octagon House are his, and go further — into hands-on reporting and report writing. They complement each other, and the section above tells you where to book his.
We bought our scanner from you. Do we really get it free?
Yes — two free places come with every scanner we have supplied, whenever you bought it. Email hello@360v.co.uk or ring 01943 601222 and we will send your codes. Putting more of the team through? Ring us and we will sort a sensible team price.
