Individuals who have a diploma in denture therapy or denturism from a Canadian College outside of Ontario must submit a request for academic program assessment with the QE Initial Application. Upon receipt of this request, the Registration Committee examines the academic program to determine if it is fundamentally equivalent to the program of study undertaken by individuals who receive a diploma in denturism from George Brown College.
The QE Initial Application Package.
The results of the academic assessment are provided in writing approximately 4-6 weeks after the date a complete application is submitted. Individuals whose academic programs are deemed equivalent are then eligible to sit the next Qualifying Examination. If the Registration Committee determines that the educational program of an individual is not equivalent to a diploma in denturism offered by George Brown College, the Committee will provide the individual with recommendations that, once completed, will assist in meeting academic equivalency.
Following notification that the Qualifying Examination Initial Application, including the academic equivalency assessment, has been approved, a candidate may register to take the Qualifying Examination.
