Does completing Level 6 qualify me to award professional education hours?

No. This programme awards its own independent educational certificates and nothing else. It does not confer any authority to grant professional education hours, and the course teaches you the exact wording to use when a learner asks, so that you never overstate what the training is.

Do I need to be a dentist to teach this material?

No. The material is administrative, operational, and communication-focused. You do need to have operated the workflows you teach, and you need a licensed clinician available for any question that crosses into clinical territory, which the course teaches you to recognise and hand over.

What is a teach-back?

You prepare and deliver a real teaching segment from the earlier levels to a small audience, record it, and submit it with your session plan, materials, lab, assessment items, and a self-critique. A reviewer scores the delivery, the accuracy, the handling of a difficult question, and the accessibility of your materials against a published rubric.

How do I keep my material current?

The course includes a currency routine: a review cadence, a watch list of primary sources, a rule for what triggers an immediate material update, and a version record so learners can tell which edition they were taught. Rules, tools, and enforcement change, and outdated teaching is worse than none.

What do I receive when I finish?

A Level 6 certificate issued by AI Coalition Network with a public verification page and QR code. It is an independent educational certificate recording completion of this course; it is not a dental licence, a teaching qualification, a clinical credential, or a regulatory approval, and it carries no professional education hours.

Certified AI Dental Instructor

Level 6 of the Master AI Dental Practice Certification

Teach responsible AI use to dental teams: plan sessions around what learners must be able to do, run live demonstrations and hands-on labs on fictional data, assess judgment rather than recall, make materials accessible, handle resistance and difficult questions honestly, and keep your curriculum accurate.

About this level

Teaching this material is a different skill from doing it. A superb operations lead can stand in front of eight dental assistants on a Thursday afternoon and lose the room in four minutes, because they explained a framework instead of showing a message that nearly went out wrong.

Level 6 prepares you to teach the earlier levels to dental teams. It is built around what actually happens in a practice classroom: mixed roles in one room, ninety minutes at the end of a working day, one person who has already decided the whole thing is nonsense, one who quietly uses a free assistant on their phone and has not said so, a dentist who arrives twenty minutes late, and someone who asks a question you cannot answer.

Five modules. Adult learning for dental teams covers how experienced clinical and administrative staff learn, how to write objectives that describe what someone will be able to do, and how to teach the clinical boundary so it is understood rather than recited. Facilitation, demonstrations, and labs covers running a live AI demonstration without exposing patient information or being embarrassed by the model, designing hands-on labs on fictional data, and facilitating discussion when the room is sceptical. Assessment design covers writing items that test judgment rather than recall, observing practical work, and keeping training records that stand up. Accessibility and learner support covers accessible materials and delivery, supporting anxious and resistant learners, and teaching across languages, literacy levels, and roles. Instructor ethics and currency covers the claims an instructor must never make, keeping material accurate as rules and tools change, and preparing your teach-back.

The honesty requirement is heavier for an instructor than for a practitioner. You will be asked whether this training counts for professional education hours, whether the programme is approved by a board or association, and whether AI can be trusted to write to patients. The correct answers are specific, and this course gives them to you.

The level ends with a recorded teach-back you deliver and defend. This is an independent educational course offered by AI Coalition Network. It does not replace dental licensing, clinical judgment, privacy or legal counsel, payer requirements, or the laws and rules of any state.

What you will be able to do

Plan a session for a mixed-role dental team around what learners must be able to do afterwards, with timing that survives a ninety-minute slot at the end of a clinical day.
Teach the boundary between administrative AI use and licensed clinical judgment so that learners can apply it to a case they have not seen before.
Run a live AI demonstration that uses only fictional data, shows a failure deliberately, and recovers gracefully when the model does something unexpected.
Design hands-on labs and practical exercises that produce observable evidence a learner can do the task, using invented patients and practices throughout.
Write assessment items and observation checklists that test judgment rather than recall, and keep training records that a privacy officer or an auditor could read.
Make materials and delivery accessible across sight, hearing, language, literacy, and role, and support anxious or resistant learners without dismissing their concerns.
Answer difficult questions honestly, including questions about what this training is and is not, and keep curriculum accurate as tools, rules, and enforcement change.

Modules and lessons

Module 01

Adult Learning for Dental Teams

Writing Objectives and Session Plans 50 min
Teaching the Clinical Boundary 50 min

Module 02

Facilitation, Demonstrations, and Labs

Run the parts of a session where things can go wrong in front of people: live AI demonstrations on fictional data with a deliberate failure and a recovery line, hands-on labs that produce evidence of capability, and discussion that survives scepticism and hard questions.

Running a Live AI Demonstration Safely 55 min
Designing Hands-On Labs with Fictional Data 50 min
Facilitating Discussion and Difficult Questions 50 min

Module 03

Assessment Design and Evidence of Learning

Teach-back assignment

Teach-Back: Deliver and Defend a Dental AI Teaching Segment

Session plan on the course template with one observable "able to" statement, prior knowledge, and a timing plan with the cut segment marked.
Fully scripted fictional demonstration with the deliberate failure, its teaching point, prepared screenshots of both outcomes, and a written recovery line.
Lab with a fictional world, at least three graded planted defects, the "done well" sentence, deliberate pairing, a timebox with a warning point, and five how-questions for debrief.
At least three assessment items on unseen cases with real-mistake distractors and teaching explanations, including one reverse-error item and one ambiguous item with its marking instruction.
Behavioural observation checklist of at least eight lines, each marked must-do or developmental, with the stated consequence of a not-yet-competent result.
Prepared answers word for word: what the training is and is not, what you say when you do not know, clinical routing, legal routing, and handling a tool disclosure.
Completed accessibility check covering real text, contrast, size, colour-only meaning, advance materials, and captions or transcript.
Recording of the delivered segment to at least two people, including one invited difficult question and your handling of it.
Self-critique of at least 500 words naming at least three specific weaknesses and the changes you will make.

Reviewed by a person against a published rubric. Passing score 80%.

Who it is for

Practice owners, clinical directors, and office managers who train their own teams; dental support organisation trainers, learning and development staff, and implementation leads; consultants who deliver AI training to dental clients; hygiene and assistant leads responsible for onboarding; and experienced coordinators asked to teach colleagues. Learners should have completed Level 5 or hold equivalent experience running AI-assisted dental operations, since you cannot teach a workflow you have not operated.

Prerequisites

Level 5, AI Dental Operations Specialist, must be completed first. An administrator may record a documented waiver for a learner with substantial teaching experience in a dental setting plus demonstrated operational experience with AI-assisted workflows.
