Each has a unit number associated with it, and storage for personal belongings. Q: Is there an orientation session? A: Yes. Candidates must be very familiar with the information in this handbook before arriving at the CPE session. Additionally, candidates are advised to view the video on the NDAEB website www.ndaeb.ca before reporting for the CPE session. Candidates must plan to arrive on the day and time specified in the Admission Letter. If a candidate is taking four (4) or more skills, the orientation will last one hour. If a candidate is taking three (3) or fewer skills, the orientation will last 30 minutes. The orientation session will include showing the Candidate Orientation video to remind candidates about specific aspects of the CPE. It will also familiarize candidates with the manikin and equipment, instruments and supplies. Candidates will be given an opportunity to operate equipment such as chairs, dental lights delivery units, handpieces, oral evacuation and radiography exposure buttons. Instrument trays and manufacturer’s instructions will also be available during this time. Any specific health and safety protocols for your site will also be explained. Candidates will not be permitted to assemble or manipulate equipment and supplies or practice skills on the manikin during the orientation session.

Questions related directly to the performance of the skills being evaluated will not be discussed or answered. 10 © 2001 – 202 4Nationa l Denta l Assisting Examining Board
