Academy of International Dental Education

I joined AIDE for my ACS examination and university bench test preparation with a very skeptical mind.But that turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. In the very first week I came to know that I have come at the right place.You get as many demos you want and as much time you want to practice. Dr. Joshua is a very knowledgeable and passionate teacher. He is very much aware of the requirements of university bench exams and ACS as well. He laid emphasis on minutest of points that can prove to be a hurdle to your success and how to overcome them. He is very critical in checking your work and always there to catch your mistake and guide you in right direction. He treats you like family and takes personal interest in your progress towards your goal.With his guidance I was able to get an admission at Dalhousie University.The facility is 24 * 7 available to every student and is pretty decent one with a in house pantry and monitored by surveillance cameras & lockers, so that you don’t have to carry big boxes every time you want to practice.I would highly recommend him for anyone who is going for Skills or University bench exam training, because every one of us has got abilities, but you need the right “GURU” to steer your way to success!!!!

I truly believe not everyone can be a teacher, you must be born as one!Only the old souls, the ones full of knowledge, patience and generosity can become a teacher. Besides his young age, Dr Joshua is one of those!Always ready to help... either with dentistry or a big hug full of kindness.He absolutely fulfils all the criteria to be a good teacher!He is hard enough to push you forward and kind enough to keep you moving! Dr. Joshua is a smart cookie ... but his best quality… is that he is humble enough to share his own flaws to make you believe in all you can do it!!! By now, you all know this journey is not only about dentistry but also NDEB standards, mix with lots of strategies. It's really important to have support to manage all the ups and downs. Oh yeah... You will have to deal with tons of good and bad days in the way of revalidation. That’s why its so important to have the right guidance but most important to have the right teacher! I can not thank Dr Joshua enough. He was very important on my own journey of revalidation but most important his big personality and kindness will always be a role model for me as a human being. I’ll always be thankful for all his help! Cheers!

Having been in Maxillofacial surgery for over 26 years and in Academics as an Assoc Prof and in clinical work, it was difficult for me when I decided to get licenced as a dentist in Canada. After passing my AFK, I found myself out of my depths in general dentistry for the ACJ exam , I had heard of Dr Joshua and AIDE , but was skeptical of being trained by a person junior to me . However after meeting Dr Joshua and talking to him, I realized that he was a warm friendly personality and extremely passionate about dentistry and teaching.I found Dr Joshua and Dr Meera to be a extremely good teacher and helped me master the concepts and This helped me to pass the ACJ at my first try with a good score. When I had to get trained for ACS, I had no reservations to go to AIDE. Dr Joshua is a greatly talented and has good clinical skills and freely and gladly shares his knowledge with you. He has a passion for teaching and is able to customize the training for skills individually . Any demonstrations will be respeated as many times as you ask and there is no hesitation or impatience to say or do the same how many times you ask. Dr Joshua ablely guided me and I am glad I choose AIDE,I was able to be selected for the bench test for both Schulich and Dalhouse and have been selected to Dalhouse for 2017. I am also positively awaiting the ACS results . God works in amazing ways and I am glad to be able to know Dr Joshua and have no regrets in being trained by this Person with. GIANT heart and gifted hands . You will too not regret if you decide to get trained at AIDEDr George T Pazhampallil, BDS, MDS, FFDRCS(Ire), FDSRCS(Eng)

Dr Joshua and Meera are really very knowledgeable and they work hard for the students. I took AFK class here . Their explaination is based on textbooks which is considered to be very good because examiners follow textbooks . I still remember Dr joshua cleared my doubts on phone late night during last week which shows how much he is dedicated towards teaching and how much he cares.Always ready to help at anytime and always pushing their students to give their best.Thanks Dr Joshua & MeeraJay

Dr. Joshua is like a brother to me. We started the equivalency process togather and it was wonderful first studying togather and than finding my friend on my side whenever I needed him. Dr. Joshua is a very good teacher and a above all a wonderful human being. I Highly recommend anyone who wants to appear for exams to study from AIDE

In continuation with success of AFK, ACJ - I joined AIDE to prepare for my clinical exams - Bench test for Manitoba, PLA for Western University and ACS. As expected, Dr. Joshua exceeded my expectations in helping me improve my handwork . He strategized and planned to work on my speed , accuracy and precision for clinical preparations. He was always available to provide multiple demonstrations on all required projects for individual examinations. His honest critique and feedback immensely helped me focus on my mistakes and gradually enforced to eliminate the scope of errors. After preparing under his guidance , I was confident enough to appear for bench tests for universities and successfully got selected in UWO. I appreciate Dr Joshua's guidance and would highly recommend AIDE to conquer this uphill battle of ACS and University bench tests and interviews.-(Cleared AFK And ACJ 2015, Cleared PLA and accepted for ITD program - 2017 ( University of Western Ontario )

Probably the best training center for the Canadian Dental Equivalency exams !Dr. Joshua and his team leave no stone unturned, in helping you with all the preparations you need, to pass these exams.I was quite fortunate to have been referred to him, through a friend's friend, when I was probing around to join a course for the preparation for the ACS . Dr. Joshua's approach to teaching the necessary requirements to PASS this exam, his overview and experience regarding this process convinced me to join. Over the coming weeks I realized that, the knowledge, zest and enthusiasm for his profession Dr. Joshua carries, is truly unparalleled !The location, unlimited access to the center and a very friendly environment, went miles in helping me throughout my training.I am thankful for your positive and encouraging thoughts, especially in my dark hours. I wish you all the best for all your future endeavors and I'm sure I'll be witness to those as well !

Dr Joshua is the master chef who knows the recipe for success, he is the ideal mentor required for this exam, understands each and every student individually, he remembers your mistake and helps you correct them, his in-depth knowledge of protocol and twists and turns associated with them are very helpful during the exam, unlike other centers, here you can work almost entire day and no one will bother you, apart from clinical training Dr Joshua is also a motivational guide which helps a lot. The kind of encouragement Dr Joshua and Dr Meera provide is unique and rarely found. The ambience and positive aura of AIDE center helps you to feel comfortable and ask any question, here all the questions are answered with great respect. Both Joshua and Meera helped me to gain confidence which is required for the exam. I highly recommend this center for the first timers as well as repeaters.

I was already familiar with Dr Joshua as we both studied in the same state back in India, but didn't know him personally. I was recommended to him by colleague of mine from India. I did my ACJ and ACS in his institute.Dr Joshua and Dr Meera are great teachers and their passion for teaching is evident through their methodology. With their guidance I was able to pass my ACJ in the first and ACS in the second attempt respectively. Their approach is simple - understand the basics of your subject and build a strong foundation. Dr Joshua has the ability to simplify information to the most basic level which in turn helped me understand the protocol for the exam and helped me tackle it in the most efficient way. I am very very grateful for that.They are also the best hosts you could get. Their warm and welcoming nature would make you want to spend time with them both professionally and socially.Apart from learning a lot at AIDE, I was able to meet other students who turned out to be real good friends of mine who also played a good role in my success. Even though the class was small, it helped in a way as we were able to get a good deal of attention to our work and progress from the instructor.One of the best parts is that you have a designated seat in the centre where you'd be able to practice for as long as you'd like, depending on your schedule. I would highly recommend AIDE to a candidate looking to excel and be successful in the NDEB equivalency process.I wish Dr Joshua and Dr Meera all the very best in the days ahead and I always look forward to keep learning from them.

It’s gonna be very hard to describe, a wonderful person like Dr. Joshua Shieh, My brother, My Mentor, My Guide.His positive attitude has not only influenced me now but has influenced me for life.He left No stone unturned to share and teach with all the valuable and helpful information among his students.What impressed me was his energy and enthusiasm in whatever he was involved in.Dr Joshua is not only great teacher and mentor but also a fantastic human being . And above all the most humble person you will come across .As he always said It s very easy to be arrogant but the most difficult to be humble"I hope I am able to walk his lines and teaching.NO words or appreciation is enough to thankDr Joshua and Dr Meera.My best wishes
