Leergang Upgrade buitenlands buitenlands opgeleide mondhygiënist

This new 8-day Upgrade is specifically designed for certified, foreign-trained dental hygienists who wish to be recognized in the Netherlands. If you wish to work in the Netherlands with a foreign healthcare diploma, this is only possible if your knowledge and skills are equivalent in content and level to the oral health curriculum at the bachelor's level. Final recognition is granted by the Foreign Certified Public Health committee. This is an independent committee of experts responsible for recognizing your diploma. Once you have successfully completed this Upgrade and been recognized by the aforementioned committee, you meet the requirements for working as a dental hygienist in the Netherlands. Please note: since the end of the registered dental hygienist experiment on July 1, 2025, dental hygienists are no longer BIG-registered. This means that, after recognition, you can work as a dental hygienist in the Netherlands within the applicable legal frameworks.
