Description

Our instructors must have a least 2 years experience in the dental field and a current Limited Dental Radiographic license issued by the Indiana Department of Health. 

The hybrid dental assisting course will run ten (10) consecutive weeks, for a total of eighty (80) clock hours of instruction. This will include 40 hours of lecture material delivered through the online platform Canvas, and 40 hours of in-person clinical "hands-on" training. Each week, students will complete the assigned online learning modules at their convenience prior to the associated clinical session. Technical and instructional support for the online modules will be provided to the students as needed by our administration team.

Each clinical session is held inside a practicing dental office, and students will be using hands-on learning with dental office equipment. Students receive training from experienced dental professionals in ALL aspects of general dental assisting, including dental specialties and radiography training. Accelerated Academy will provide Basic Life Support CPR instruction on the first day of class, a certification that will be needed as a Dental Assistant. Job interview preparation and coaching is available to students and is also included in the cost of tuition. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a certificate of completion. There is an Xray portion of the program, and we are approved by the Indiana Dept of Health, to be an approved provider; however, students still must pass the national RHS (Radiation Health and Safety exam) and apply for licensure with the Indiana Department of Health if they want to operate radiographs.
