Certified Dental Assistant Program Wisconsin

How far are you into the class and how has your experience been? – I am currently going into week 8, I never thought I could be excited to get up and go to school but every week is a new, exciting skill to learn. I’ll be honest, I’m going to be sad when I graduate because it’s become a part of my week. I love that it’s broken up into lecture and clinical, as it makes for an effective learning style. What does a typical day in class look like for you? What has been your favorite thing/skill that you have learned so far? -A typical day for me is getting to school in the morning, Diana immediately asks how my week went and then we begin lecture. After lecture we have a break and then begin clinical and hands on work. I would have to say that my favorite thing thus far has been being able to make my own bleaching tray. From pouring up the model to making the try itself, is a really interesting process! What was the enrollment process like for you? -The enrollment process was incredible. I wasn’t too sure if I was going to commit to the program at first, but Lindsay answered every question that I had and ultimately won me over with her passion for the program leading me to believe I was going to get a genuine education How was your instructor? What does she do to help you be successful in class? -My instructor Diana is out of this world knowledgeable in everything dental assisting. She has been able to answer every question I have and give me tips on how to be a better dental assistant. She does everything in her power to make sure I succeed with every skill I learn, every week. She will go over every skill until I nail it, no matter how long it takes. It is obvious that she loves what she does. Is there any advice you would give people that are thinking about pursuing a career in Dental Assisting? -The advice I would give would be to go in with an open mind and willingness to learn. If you don’t have past knowledge about the dental industry, be ready to study. I think that if you bring a positive attitude to class, you ultimately have the world in your hands. Would you recommend NDA to friends/family that are thinking about making a career change based on your experience thus far? Why? -I would definitely recommend NDA to anyone. I was not only given an education, but I was given an instructor that helps me push the boundaries on learning. The program does everything in its power to give you everything you need to succeed. The only thing left us you!
