Three course options
Choose based on your timeline — not on price
The right course is the one that matches how much time you have before exam day. A 16-week programme is not better than an Intensive if you are sitting in 4 weeks — it is the wrong course.

Subscription tiers
Not ready to commit to a full course?
Subscriptions are preparation infrastructure — not cheaper versions of the courses. Each tier is designed with one exit in mind: upgrade to a paid course when you are ready.
Explorer
₹499 / month
5 questions / day · Sessions 1–2 reading
Discriminating-level questions only. Sessions 1–2 reading access. Monthly dripping access to study materials. No mocks tests. Limited recorded video access.
Suitable for candidates who have not yet decided the examination date or final year BDS students who want to test the water. This subscription builds the daily habit before committing. After 2-3 months = ₹1,497 → the higher subscription for long term practice or Comprehensive Course is a proportionate next step.
Foundation
₹1,499 / month
15 Q/day + weekly cluster test · All 9 sessions
15 questions per day + weekly cluster test (14 Q). All 9 sessions reading access. TG reference card. No mocks. Access to recorded video lectures.
For candidates 3–4 months out, actively self-studying. 3 months = ₹4,497 → the Crash course upgrade argument is clear.
Practice
₹3,499 / month
Unlimited Q · 2 full mocks/month · Access to recorded video lectures
Unlimited questions (280-Q bank, randomised). 2 full mocks per month (280 Q each). All sessions reading + video. Cluster analytics.
For candidates 6–10 weeks out. 2 months = ₹6,998 → the Crash course includes guided structure + 2-day simulation. That gap is the upgrade argument.
Premium Annual
₹59,999 / year
Unlimited Q (560-Q bank) · Unlimited mocks · Priority support
Unlimited questions from the full 560-Q bank. Unlimited mocks. Full Comprehensive course content. Guided 16-week schedule. Priority support. 12 months rolling access.
For candidates needing full-year flexibility between sittings. Self-directed only — no 2-day simulation, no cohort placement, no personal coaching touchpoints. ₹15,000 below the Comprehensive course; those features account for the difference.
Built against named international standards
Every question references a specific guideline
The content of this course is not generic dental theory. Every clinical scenario, every correct answer, and every trap explanation is referenced to a specific named regulatory or clinical guideline. These are the standards the ADC Written Examination actually tests.
Pharmacology & Prescribing
Therapeutic Guidelines Oral and Dental — September 2025
The official Australian prescribing standard. All 15 September 2025 updates embedded in clinical context. The ADC September 2026 exam is built against this edition.
Professionalism & Ethics
AHPRA — Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency
Open disclosure sequence, advertising standards, scope of practice, mandatory reporting. Tested in Q5 of every ADC vignette.
Radiation & Imaging
ARPANSA — Australian Radiation Protection & Nuclear Safety Agency
Individual radiograph justification, ALARA principle, targeted view selection at minimum dose. One of the most commonly failed question types in the ADC.
Infection Control
ADA Infection Prevention & Control Guidelines — 2022
Single-use instrument rules, sterilisation standards, IPC breach disclosure protocol under AHPRA.
Periodontics
EFP/AAP Classification of Periodontal Diseases — 2017
Papapanou et al. Staging and grading framework. Bidirectional systemic relationship. EFP Step 2 protocol (no-antibiotic standard). The international classification the ADC tests in periodontal vignettes.
Paediatric Trauma
IADT Guidelines — International Association of Dental Traumatology
Crown fracture management, replantation protocol, splinting duration. The standard behind paediatric trauma vignettes in the ADC exam.
Examination Blueprint
ADC Official Written Examination Blueprint
All course content — questions, weeks, and difficulty progression — is mapped to the published ADC blueprint percentage weightings. Restorative 28% · Paediatric/Orthodontics 18% · Periodontics 14% · Oral Surgery & Special Needs 14% · Prosthodontics & Implants 14% · Oral Medicine & Pathology 12%. Time allocated proportionally — not equally.
