12 Week Entry Level Dental Assistant Training Program
at Academy for Dental Assistants
Central Florida Catalog
Our 12-week Entry-Level Dental Assisting Training Program will provide dental assisting training to students as a pathway to enter the dental profession as an entry-level dental assistant. We realize that some people learn better from a hands-on training approach rather than a lecture approach to education, therefore the Academy for Dental Assistants has developed a curriculum for dental assistant training for this type of learner. Before a dental assistant can be qualified to work with a dentist, it is important to provide basic dental knowledge to the future dental assistant. This 12-week entry-level dental assistant training program teaches students the knowledge and professionalism that it takes to be a part of the dental workforce in this exciting healthcare field. This accelerated course allows an interested student to acquire the basic entry-level dental assisting knowledge to begin their new career in as little as 12 weeks.
