Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to become a dental assistant?
Our program fully prepares you to become a dental assistant in
just 12 weeksHow can your program be so fast?
Our hands-on classes take place in a real dental office rather than a classroom. Students spend the majority of the class time learning the essential techniques of Dental Assisting first-hand from our experienced instructors. Each class begins with an instructional lecture, however our program emphasizes hands-on learning. When our students graduate, they feel at home in a dental office and possess all the skills need to succeed in their new career.
Do you accept financial aid?
We don’t accept financial aid, but we have some pretty great reasons why! We believe that all students deserve a great education that doesn’t leave you stuck with thousands of dollars in student loans to pay back. Our school has redefined continuing education with super affordable tuition prices that enable our students to graduate without student loan debt. We offer several convenient payment plan options and can even customize a plan that works within your budget!
How is a short course as effective as longer ones?
As a newly hired Dental Assistant, your employer will expect you to know the basics of dental assisting. Our school created a modern approach to hands-on training with a customized curriculum that’s taught in a real dental practice. Thanks to decades of industry experience, close partnerships with dentists and dental offices, and our mission to make continuing education more accessible and affordable for everyone, we are able to teach you all the fundamentals of dental assisting in a shorter amount of time — setting students up for success (rather than years of student loan debt).
