The flexible, online Dental Assistant Program is designed to help you prepare to build the skills that can prepare you for on-the-job success. Through our courses, you’ll build clinical and academic knowledge that aligns with industry-recognized certification exams like the National Entry-Level Dental Assistant (NELDA) component exams through the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB), the price of which is covered by your program cost, a significant value add! Your coursework can also help prepare you to sit for the American Medical Technologist (AMT) Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) certification, allowing you to build a strong resume.
You’ll also get hands-on training to apply what you learned online to real-world situations through a 100-hour externship, allowing you to cement your skills and prepare for work at a dental office near you.
After completing your program, externship, and sitting for the NELDA exam, you’ll be set on the pathway to take the next steps in your career – earning the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) credential offered through the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB). Earning your CDA certificate from DANB is a milestone achievement that distinguishes your resume and showcases your professional experience.
