PraktijkAcademie

About us

We train dental assistants and practice managers with one goal: to ensure they make a difference in the practice the very next day. No unnecessary theory. No generic courses. Only what really works in a dental practice. Whether you are a dental assistant looking to grow rapidly, a practice manager wanting to fulfill your role with confidence, or a practice owner wanting to take your team to the next level: at PraktijkAcademie, you will find the training that suits you. Who are we? Over the past few years, we have proven ourselves as the strategic partner for management, organization, and personnel policy within dentistry. We support countless practices and work as interim practice managers. Our expertise lies specifically in the management of dental practices and the targeted training of practice staff. Our broad experience is reinforced by guest lectures at the VVT (Federation of Flemish Dentists), dental students at KU Leuven and UGent, and various universities of applied sciences. This combined knowledge and practical experience led to the founding of PraktijkAcademie. Within this platform, we offer practice-oriented training courses in which immediate applicability in the workplace is central.

Opleiding praktijkmanager

In five days, you will build the foundation that moves your practice forward. The training consists of five content blocks, each focusing on a core domain of the practice manager. Practice Operations & Belgian Context gives you a complete picture of the Belgian dental landscape: legislation and regulations, nomenclature, RIZIV logic, and the structure of a dental practice. You will get to know the sector from the inside, including the current challenges facing Belgian practices today. An indispensable foundation for every practice manager. Leadership does not start with theory, but with yourself. You explore the fundamental principles of strong leadership and translate them into your own style and practice. Taking ownership, acting proactively, and bearing responsibility with conviction are central. A personal leadership assessment provides you with concrete insight into your own style, enabling you to apply it consciously and effectively. Personnel Policy covers the entire HR cycle: from recruitment and selection through onboarding and daily follow-up to performance reviews, absenteeism policy, and termination — within the Belgian labor law context. With particular attention to communication techniques at crucial HR moments. Organizational Management focuses on structure, processes, and efficiency. You will learn to draw up protocols, manage schedules and stock, and build a clear organizational structure with clear roles and responsibilities. After all, a well-functioning practice stands or falls with clear processes. Financial Management makes figures understandable and applicable. You will learn to correctly calculate fees, monitor profitability, and read and interpret accounting figures — the basic financial knowledge every practice manager needs to help steer the practice.
