Dear Student,
Welcome to the Diploma of Dental Technology Course at Randwick Campus of TAFE.
To help you complete this course, it is important that you carefully read and understand the regulations and have the listed books and equipment.
To be in any laboratory session, you must wear a clean laboratory coat and protective shoes. You must also wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to suit the work being done.
If there is anything about the regulations or the equipment list that you do not understand, I want you to ask your teachers or senior staff about it.
