Don’t continue to procrastinate. Because our program is just 13/14 weeks, our students must be extra motivated, extra dedicated and extra hardworking! Every one of our students are exactly that, and then some!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy’s curriculum is certified, licensed and approved by both the State of Washington and the State of Oregon. Our students come from as far away as Astoria, Stevenson and Corvallis! In just 13/14 weeks Elite Dental Assisting Academy will train you to become a certified dental assistant so you can begin your new career!
In the State of Washington, we are certified and licensed through the State of Washington Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board. Additionally, for our Oregon students (and Washington students looking to work in Oregon), Elite Dental Assisting Academy is an approved program through the Oregon Health Authority, DANB and OBD for radiology. Completion of our course fulfills one of the requirements to receive your radiology license.
We also help you study for the RHS exam for your radiology license. This exam is required by the state of Oregon in order for a dental assistant to take radiographs or to perform expanded functions.

Comments Off on Become a Certified Dental Assistant in 13 Weeks!
Most of us start out early in life moving from one job to another trying to find that perfect fit. However, many get “stuck” in one of those jobs for far too long before realizing a change is desperately needed! We get caught in a comfortable groove, our enthusiasm wanes, motivation turns into mediocrity, and our subconscious tells us a change needs to happen! Having the self-awareness and courage to recognize a change needs to happen often times is not an immediate process, and for many, this process can take months or even years. It’s never too late for dental assistant class!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy’s 13/14 week program teaches you the skills you need to become a registered dental assistant. Begin your new, recession proof career that offers good pay, job security and a professional work environment!
The course is in an actual dental facility that is solely dedicated to the school using state-of-the art equipment. We offer Day classes (two days a week) and night classes (two nights a week) which includes a recommended 100 hour dental assistant externship with a practicing local dentist so that you have the experience needed to get hired.

When you inquire about a Dental Assisting Career at Elite, we will give you the facts of our program and then send you on your way to research the options in the area. We want you to make the best decision for YOU. You won’t receive calls or emails pressuring you to enroll. We will always be here to answer any questions and help!
When you are being taught, you want to be taught by someone who has excelled in the field. Our staff have gone above and beyond in the field of Dental Assisting. Our lead instructors are CDA’s (Certified Dental Assistants) nationally, EFDA (Expanded Function Dental Assistants), EFODA (Expanded Function Orthodontic Assistants), Sealant and cord packing certified, Radiology Instructor Certified for the State of Oregon (as is our course and curriculum) and have over 20 years of dental assisting experience each. During each class we have multiple instructors and instructor assistants helping our students. Our ratio is typically 1:4 during lab. We make sure everyone has exceptional one-on-one time and no one is ever ‘lost’. We will come early, stay late and show up on different days to help make sure each and every one of our students succeed.
Each of our students serve a 100-150 hour externship (optional) with a dentist in a dental office. Why is this so important and the key to our students incredible and undeniable success? Because we aren’t having them ‘just’ look for an externship, we are guiding them in looking for a job. By serving an dental assisting career externship outside of our office, they are diving directly into the pool of ‘highly in demand’ dental assisting jobs. More students are being hired or receiving a job offer prior to graduation than ever before!
We love seeing our new classes excel at what they are learning! Our instructors are the best of the best! Why? Because they have gone above and beyond in their certifications, for both Oregon and Washington, than the average dental assistant and have a strong passion for both dental and teaching. It is often that our teachers come in early, stay late and are in contact with students to help and make sure each student understands what they are being taught. When you are learning something new, you want the best teaching you. The best is what we have at Elite Dental Assisting Academy!
