Your 10-Week Journey

Our program is designed to take you from beginner to job-ready in 10 weeks. Here's what your experience will look like:

1

Weeks 1-2: Building Your Foundation

You'll start by learning the fundamentals — arch terminology, professional conduct, and the basics of working in a arch office. You'll meet your classmates and instructors, and start getting comfortable in a clinical environment.

2

Weeks 3-12: Hands-On Clinical Training

This is where it gets real. You'll practice clinical skills in a real arch office environment, working with actual equipment and tools. You'll learn chairside assisting, infection control, dental charting, X-rays, and clinical procedures.

3

Weeks 13-15: Certification Prep

Prepare for your dental assistant certification exam with comprehensive review sessions and practice tests. You'll earn your credential as part of the program.

4

Weeks 16-10: Externship

Put everything you've learned into practice during your externship at a local arch office. You'll work alongside licensed professionals, gaining real-world experience that employers value.
