Tired Of The Same Old Grind???

2-smilesAlmost everyone has experienced being trapped in a job that becomes extremely boring, doesn’t pay enough to make ends meet, doesn’t offer any benefits, is not challenging, and doesn’t make you feel proud of what you do for a living.  If this is how you’re feeling, then it’s time to consider a career change!

There are many job opportunities for the qualified dental assistant to assist dentists and hygienists in the dental profession.  Although many desire to be trained in this profession, there are challenges that prevent them from attending school. It is difficult for most people to attend school on a full time basis because they have to work to earn a living or have children to tend.  The expense necessary to finance schooling in a major college is also another reason most people are discouraged in pursuing further education.  We feel that the dental assisting program offered at our school will meet these challenges.  The night time schedules are designed to accommodate working students.  The very affordable tuition fee will also solve the financing issues for most prospective students.  Students are accepted regardless of sex, race, age, marital status, religious creed, ethnic or national origin.scholarship-2

If you are interested in submitting a scholarship application, please call 360-433-0788 or email us. All applications are due by May 22, 2015 and the winner/s will be announced June 1, 2015.




Sacrificing For Success!

sleeping-baby“And sometimes the school project becomes my baby’s toy! Found him sleeping like this! He grabbed the skull off the seat next to him while Mommy was busy driving, silly boy!”  Mandy W.

We received this sweet text from one of our students and it was a stark reminder to us at Elite Dental Assisting Academy of the sacrifice many students endure to better themselves. Working around child care schedules, sick children, part time jobs, you name it, life can be extremely challenging.  As staff and teachers, we are personally invested in the success of our students.smile-skull

Memorizing the anatomy of the head is one of the most difficult tasks for our students, so we make it mandatory that each student paint and label a skull. We have found this strategy has improved the ease of this daunting task! We see some incredible skulls!!!

Give us a call at (360) 433-0788 to schedule a visit or an appointment to enroll in the Elite Dental Assisting Academy.
