Practical, Hands-On Training
What’s a typical class like at NDA?
Students begin with 4 weeks of live, instructor-led online lectures to build a strong knowledge base. This is followed by 6 weeks of in-person, hands-on clinical training inside real dental offices.
By learning directly in the same environment where they’ll work after graduation, NDA students gain the skills, confidence, and experience to succeed immediately as dental assistants.
