Welcome to VSSAcademy
It’s not enough to be good at what you do; to teach well, you also need to be able to convey your skills and experience in an effective way. Our lecturers are all practiced educators who are passionate about their subjects.
VSSAcademy was founded by Dr Fadi Barrak who has been mentoring and training dentist colleagues since 2002. As a dental practitioner seeking to further his career through upgrading his own skills, Fadi realised that fellow practitioners frequently find it hard to get out of the box of the daily practice routine to expand their skill base – just like Fadi himself did.
VSSAcademy provides specialist training courses for dentists and specialist dental procedures including dental implants and more. Our training is for all dentists.

Reviews from Course Attendees
Read some of the fantastic positive feedback we have had from our course attendees.
All the sessions take place on Saturdays which means you don’t need to take any time out from your clinical practice, keeping costs low and meaning, for me, that I can come straight back into my practice on Monday morning, fresh from the course and ready to put my new learnings straight into my clinical practice. In my opinion, there is no better way to learn.
Martyn Cox
Since the VSS course I have developed the confidence to go and place implants and I’ve even done a couple unmentored now. I feel that I now have the knowledge and confidence to discuss implant treatment options with my patients, rather than say 'I don't know'.
Dr Suraj Dhanda
I would definitely recommend the VSSAcademy Certificate in Implant Dentistry course to anyone interested in getting ahead in dental implants. I’ve talked to several of the people who did the course alongside me and they were all really happy with it also.
Dr Malaak Al Rawi
I’m very happy with the outcome of the course and am more than happy to recommend it to others. Fadi himself is not just giving courses, he is very keen for his students to learn from his experience and pays great attention to the details. It’s not just about implants either, he’s taught from zero to give all his experience.
