Dutch Dental Education Center

The Dutch Dental Education Center (D-DEC) was founded by 3 passionate Drenthe residents who have combined their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to take the profession to a higher level. Our mission is simple: to share knowledge and support professionals in their growth. The team has been expanded with other experts from the field, which means that we now have a unique mix of experience and expertise.

D-DEC responds to the great demand from the field for practice-oriented training courses where the motto 'what you learn today you will apply in practice tomorrow' is central. We offer a wide range of courses for dental technicians, dental prosthetists and dentists from beginners to advanced, in which all themes related to dental technology and dental prosthetics are discussed. Our approach is anything but standard and the courses have proven their effectiveness. We now also focus on the dental sector in the broadest sense of the word, so that we can support every professional in this dynamic field.

At D-DEC we are proud of our Dutch roots, and we want to radiate that. Each course day is linked to a typical Dutch item or icon, and that is reflected in our lessons. Our website also breathes the Netherlands, with recognizable images that represent our country. This is how we show what we stand for: accessibility, quality and authenticity.

At D-DEC you don't just learn, you also experience a unique, personal approach that helps you get the best out of yourself. Discover how we can support you on your professional journey.

We understand that everyone is busy and that is why we make our courses as accessible as possible. For example, we regularly organize courses on Saturdays, for example in Apeldoorn, so that you do not have to miss a working day. In addition, we take busy periods into account: we do not schedule courses during the tropical weeks such as the month of December and during the holidays.

We offer customized flexibility. At D-DEC, your wishes are central. We offer the possibility to adapt courses to your needs. Would you rather have us come to you? That is possible! Whether it concerns a day, an afternoon or an evening, only theory, only practice or both - everything is negotiable.
