learn

Study on your schedule.

12 comprehensive online course modules cover everything from dental anatomy to OSHA standards. Review your lessons at home and learn at a pace that fits your life — without sacrificing the quality of your training.

It's a hybrid format built for how people actually live.

train

Hands on the instruments, one day a week.

Students train on the CEREC scanner — the same digital scanning and design technology used in modern dental offices. It's experience most assistants don't get until years into the job.

Mandatory in-person clinicals run on campus one day a week for 12 weeks. You'll practice dental instruments, dental materials, X-rays, chairside assisting, sterilization, and running the dental back office.

The core 12-week program — online modules plus one hands-on clinical day a week on campus.
