Our 12-Week Entry-Level Dental Assisting Training Program is designed to prepare students for a successful career as an entry-level dental assistant. At Academy for Dental Assistants, we understand that many students learn best through hands-on training rather than traditional lectures. That’s why our curriculum focuses on practical, skills-based learning while still providing the essential knowledge needed to succeed in the dental field.

Before working chairside with a dentist, it’s important for future dental assistants to gain a strong foundation in basic dental concepts, techniques, and professionalism. Our accelerated program teaches students the knowledge, clinical skills, and confidence necessary to begin their careers in as little as 12 weeks.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive their Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) Certification and Dental Radiology Certification, fully preparing them to begin working as a Dental Assistant.

Step 1: Complete our 12-Week Entry-Level Dental Assistant Training Program & attend class one day per week for 12 weeks at our facility.

Step 2: Gain real-world experience through a 200-hour Dental Assisting Externship at a general dental office of your choice.

Step 3: Upon successful completion, students are awarded their Florida Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA) Certification and Dental Radiology Certification.

Your State Board Exams and Florida Board of Dentistry Certifications are included in the 12-Week Program — no additional fees required.

Our office must receive written notice at least 7 days before the class start date to transfer to another class without penalty. If the transfer request is made less than 7 days before the course begins, a $100 transfer fee will apply.
