What People Are Saying
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is so wonderful. The classes are very hands-on and educational. I learned so much. I also got hired on before even graduating thanks to Elite Dental Assisting Academy. I made so many friends along the way. It was so worth it. Best class ever. I'm so thankful to them.
As a mother, the evening class was an amazing experience, from beginning to end! This program may be short, but it is full of lifelong information. I gained way more than expected and I can’t thank them enough. Getting an externship was no problem and I even got offered a job near the end. Elite gives you all necessary tools; you just have to apply them. Meredit is an amazing instructor! She makes sure you’re retaining the info and gives you enough resources to be successful. The patience she has makes her an even better person. Yaya was also a big help! They both have amazing personalities and knowledge. I appreciate their support throughout the entire course. If you’re reading this and considering Elite Dental Assisting Academy, JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it. The entire staff is there to support you.
I can’t say enough good things about Elite Dental Assisting Academy! From the moment I stepped into their program, I knew I was in for something special. The instructors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but also make every class a blast with their enthusiasm and hands-on approach. Learning the ins and outs of dental assisting here felt less like school and more like a fun, supportive adventure. The small class sizes and real-world training in actual dental offices gave me the confidence and skills I needed to succeed. I’m genuinely going to miss the laughter, the camaraderie with my classmates, and the excitement of mastering something new every day. Elite Dental Assisting Academy made this journey unforgettable, and I’m so grateful for the experience! If you’re considering a career in dental assisting, this is the place to be—you’ll love every minute!
I just recently graduated from this program and had a blast!! I learned so much in the 13 weeks I was a student. My teacher, Meredit, was absolutely INCREDIBLE. I felt supported all the way through the course and even after graduation. Their externship program helped me land a job even before I graduated! I highly recommend this program!
I will forever be grateful for the experience that I have had here at Elite! It has been an ongoing process for me to finally decide which direction I want to take with my future and I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to attend Elite. It has truly been a life changing experience and I am honestly sad that it is coming to an end! The course can definitely feel intense at times, but so can the dental field, so it does help prepare you for the “real world”! All of the amazing staff here is very knowledgeable and are constantly striving to learn more! It’s a huge motivator and truly inspiring to be a part of. My instructors were Meredit and Mary, and let me just tell you, these women are INCREDIBLE!! They have helped me in more ways than they know, definitely beyond just the classroom. I am currently about to graduate, with a dental assisting job and a dental mission trip planned for the near future and I have Elite to thank for all of it!! If you are looking to really jump into the dental field, this is definitely the course for you!!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy was such a great school and experience. The program was 13 weeks of pretty intense classes, but I have learned a lot. Before the program ended I already got a job offer.
All the instructors are so kind and willing to help you with any questions you have. I enjoyed my time in this program and will recommend it to any other people who are looking for a career in the dental community!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy was such an amazing experience! I always looked forward to class and enjoyed every minute of it. I would definitely recommend taking a course if you’re interested in becoming a dental assistant.
Elite Dental Assisting Academy was amazing! I did the night classes and had such a blast! It was nice and relaxed being in the night classes from my experience. I had some of the best instructors, they are super helpful and knowledgeable. I am so thankful for this program and everyone I have met along the way. This course taught me so much is such a small time frame! I cannot wait to put my skills out into the world that this academy has taught me!
Elite has been so patient and accommodating with everything I have needed. I'm grateful for having such an understanding teacher to help me out.
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is a great school to go to. It may be fast learning but the teachers make sure that you keep up. I had the best time learning from an amazing teacher, made some awesome friends along the way! Now we get to graduate together soon.
What a fantastic experience. It had everything I could have asked for! It was fast and busy, but I had help if I needed it. It was within my budget, but I never felt like the effort put forth toward my education was cheap. Kristin helped me prepare for exactly what I needed to get into the work force, and because I worked hard, I got a dental assistant job before graduating! A small class meant more focus on individuals, and I made some friends that I hope I keep in contact with.
I got hired one week after graduating from Elite Dental Assisting Academy! I highly recommend this school to everybody! Not only is this school a quick three month course, but they prepare you so well for jumping right into the work field. This school teaches you everything you need to know and they do it with such a helping hand. Thank you Elite for everything you did for me, I will continue to recommend your school
The Elite Dental assisting experience was like no other. I would recommend this program to anyone else. The teachers and staff make you feel like an individual instead of a group. They take the time to get to know you. If you need anything they are willing to help you. I have grown so much from this and will continue to grow from the help of the staff.
I have always been interested in working in the dental field and this program made me realize that I belong in this line of work. It's a great experience with amazing people and they help you every step of the way. I am very confident with what I have learned and highly recommend this program to everyone.
I attended Elite Dental Assisting Academy and am so happy that I did!! It was a hard course, but the teacher and staff made it easy to get through. The cost was extremely reasonable compared to long term courses. The lectures, labs, and internship helped prepare me for working as a dental assistant in the real world. I love being a Dental Assistant, it’s challenging and rewarding, and I love meeting people. Thank you Elite for offering a short term course with long term rewards!
Elite has been a complete dream come true for me. When I came into this program I was scared, unsure and hesitant to start this fast paced program. The first night in class, all my fears were gone and I knew this was the best school I could have enrolled in.
Now, after 13 short weeks. I am a Dental Assistant!! If it weren’t for my amazing teacher and everyone involved in Elite, I wouldn’t be where I am today. All I can say is that if you are thinking about coming to Elite… DO IT! You won’t regret your decision 
I got a job! This course prepared me to go into the dental world and be confident of my skills. It was great fun with my instructor and class mates.
I got a job before I even graduated! I think that this course was so worth the investment I made! Tracee Godfrey is the best instructor you could ask for! She is there for her students 100%. She makes your learning and employment a priority. I was able to start earning back the investment that I made before I was even out of school. Elite is a comprehensive course and is a lot of work but is totally worth all the time we put in.
Changed my life for the better! My instructor Kristin was the best and we all had a lot of fun learning together! I would highly recommend this school to anyone seeking to make a career change! This school was professional, organized and everything I could have asked for + more !
Starting classes with EDAA changed my life!! Joining this program gave me the courage to step out of my comfort zone and push my hands on skills. The class size is perfect, not too big nor too small, the instructors are amazing and made me feel at ease when I had a question. Each class was always fun and there wasn't a day where I didn't want to come to class! Also, I got a job straight out of school, hired right after my externship! Who doesn't like that? What are you waiting for, GO!?
I GOT HIRED BEFORE I GRADUATED! Along with many of my classmates, we learned the skills and knowledge needed to become a dental assistant and got a dental assisting job before we even graduated. Elite Dental Assisting Academy is amazing! They have an awesome instructor, great classroom out of an actual dental office with great equipment for learning. I highly recommend this program if you are thinking of becoming a dental assistant. This school helps you succeed in every aspect.
Elite Dental Assistant Academy was the best three-month program I could have asked for! From day one, the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in our success. The curriculum was well structured, covering everything from chair side assisting to radiology, sterilization, and patient care. What truly set this program apart was the hands-on training. We didn’t just learn from textbooks, we practiced real world skills in a clinical setting, which gave me the confidence I needed to step into a dental office feeling fully prepared. The small class sizes also made it easy to ask questions and receive personalized guidance. Beyond the education, the academy provided amazing job placement assistance. Thanks to their support, I secured a position right after completing the program! If you’re looking for a fast paced, high-quality dental assistant program that truly prepares you for the workforce, I highly recommend Elite Dental Assistant Academy!
I absolutely love this school, especially my instructor Stephanie and the lab assistant Katie. They both do such an amazing job at teaching and helping you work through things. Stephanie is so dedicated and hardworking, she is also a really good mentor. She gives great advice and helps with any concerns you might have. I’ve never enjoyed being at school more. I would recommend them to anyone looking to start a career with dental assisting. You’ll learn so much and meet great people. It was a wonderful experience.
I started working as a Dental Assistant right after graduating! This school was absolutely worth every penny, and here’s the reason why…. Tracee Godfrey!! She is the best instructor I could have ever hoped for. She was always eager to answer all my questions, and let me tell you, I had a LOT of questions. She went above and beyond the call of duty everything single day. She helped me in and outside the class room, and was ALWAYS there for me. She genuinely wanted to help you learn. I definitely do not think I would have finished this course if it wasn’t for our instructor Tracee Godfrey. She made everything worth it. Because of her I was ready (with loads of knowledge) for my first job as a Dental Assistant which I started working as soon after graduating. I felt well equipped for work, all because of Tracee, thank you!
A friend of mine went through here and she really enjoyed the program. they aren't all the same and Elite is very professional and caring. I feel that's really important and happy to refer to them.
This is the best program I could've ever taken. Was taught so much by the best instructor Stephanie! The staff is so friendly and welcoming made it like I was surrounded by friends. Their teaching methods are great and they encourage everyone to do their best. I found a full time employment and can't wait to begin this new journey in my life and I couldn't have done it without Elite.
I truly loved this program, and am so excited to be a part of this field. Our instructor Stephanie brought such engaging energy to her lectures, and truly cares about her students and wants to see them thrive! Lectures were very informative, and labs provided a great opportunity for hands on practice before entering the field. I will soon be graduating through ELITE and have already found full time employment!
I am so happy that they had a hybrid class at night. It made doing my externship so much easier while still being in school. Stephanie is an amazing instructor and super helpful when it comes to slowing things down if you aren’t quite understanding procedures or missing steps. I thought doing an accelerated course I wouldn’t understand everything and that I wouldn’t catch everything that was being taught. It was the exact opposite. Elite’s staff made the course so easy to understand and the lab notes help tremendously when out doing your externship. Thank you so much for helping me and guiding me at the beginning of my dental assisting career!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and environment to learn the role of dental assisting! With the hands on experience and lectures, the combination helped me learn effectively. Whenever I had questions or needed time to understand a lab in class, they took the time to explain it further. I highly recommend this class to those looking for a future career and want to try something new! I can say I have learned quite a lot and they even helped me prepare and pass my RHS (Radiation Health and Safety) test! I also love that they can help you set up externships and prepare for a job in the field.
I loved how all the teachers care so much about you and are always willing to help. This is a great environment for learning, lots of hands on helpful experience, dedication to students and their learning and success. Everyone is supportive of each other and it’s an overall fun experience. I highly recommend coming to Elite for a high quality education.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to go to Elite. I've been thinking about it a while back and then just kind of forgot about it. And just recently decided to go! I was so hesitant attending due to covid and all that, but it was honestly so great! My teacher was Stephanie, she was always so patient with all her students. She taught very well and was very considerate of everyone! I learned so much at this school. You definitely have to put in the work though and study for tests and stuff but if you do that you'll do great! It's a fairly easy course, at least it was for me. The staff here is always so kind and always ready to jump in and help you if need be! Definitely recommend if you're thinking of becoming a dental assistant or just to grow your knowledge!
If your looking for a career change or simply want to get your foot in the dentistry field as a dental assistant, Elite is an amazing place to start. Since the beginning, Katrina and Cindy are very welcoming and guide you every step of the way. Kristin and Kim are very helpful, fun and encouraging! You guys are awesome! Thank you for the second opportunity you are giving to me and others!
I would highly recommend attending Elite Dental Assisting academy, the instructors were great and very patient with the students. I loved coming here and learning, every part of it was amazing!
Elite is a great school to be at. All the staff are welcoming and they helped me figure out a career path to take. I am very happy I decided to take this route especially if you are a very hands-on kind of person.
If want to learn Dental Assistant's. This is the place to go and also the first program to support our military vets.
At first I was very nervous and had so many questions that’s when Katrina answered every question I had, she was very informative and called, texted or emailed me back ASAP she’s such a great person and is amazing at what she does. The time, patience and open availability Steph and Kristin MAKE for you is truly AMAZING and very HELPFUL. They really want you to succeed and take the time for you to UNDERSTAND 100% any questions you may have. Stephanie will make time for you even after school hours to teach you and guide you she really is a wonderful person. I’m incredibly grateful for this amazing program that not only is affordable but I got a job out ofi it within weeks of my externship. They really do know how to guide you, Cindy takes her time with her work and I also want to thank her very much for such an amazing resume! Meredith is very very helpful and is always involved with any questions and is willing to share her Techniques or ways for you to understand. Kristin has taught me so much even though I’ve had a few silly questions myself she takes the time to make you really understand and makes learning so much fun, no question is silly! Thank you so much Steph for building my confidence and thank you Elite.
Elite is such an amazing school. Coming here was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. Stephanie and Kristin are FANTASTIC instructors. They really enjoy what they do and they truly care about there students. Everyone is super fun and kind here. I have not one single bad thing to say about this school except that it's AMAZING!!! It has been such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this school.
I knew that I wanted to make a career change and Elite Dental Academy was a great fit and an excellent choice. I felt welcome from day one and have enjoyed going to class and the fast paced nature of the school. Kristin, Kim, and Meredith are awesome and so helpful. I can't believe class is already ending! I definitely recommend this school!!
I was nervous to switch career paths and enroll in a 3 month program however my nerves were calmed as soon as I met with Cindy at Elite! Once classes began, my instructor, Kristin took time to go through lectures, labs, and questions thoroughly, ensuring each one of my peers and I understood the material and felt comfortable with the techniques/procedures. The program is fast paced and flies by, but if you are motivated and willing to put in the work, Elite can work for you! I graduate this week and am set to start work at the office I completed my externship at. If you are looking to enter the world of Dental Assisting, I highly recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy!
I just want yo say thank you for the second oportunity you are giving to me and others! this is a program where they teach so much. You also get to meet so many people during your externship and in school. I am so proud to be graduating fron this program next week! a big THANK YOU TO YOU! Kristin,Kim,Katrina & Cindy you are the BEST!
I'm about to graduate from Elite and I'm really excited to start my new career. i found a office were i had the opportunity to get a paid internship witch i was really exited about. I finished my internship with 195 hours. I'm so proud of my classes mates we all worked really hard to get good grades we have come a long way. This 13 weeks go by really fast when you work and studying hard. I'm really going to miss coming to school i really enjoyed the long car drives from Oregon. All of the instructors in Elite are really nice extremely supportive and helpful. Also this course is not easy it's really hard but if you put in the time to study you will do great. I really recommend this school to anybody who is willing to work hard for the next 13 weeks you can start a new career in no time.
The teachers are very helpful and make each class enjoyable and fun! The teachers make sure to answer all questions and help you a lot as well!
From the day that I stepped into elites office I have always felt like I was at home. Cindy, Katrina and all of the teachers are amazing. They answer any and all questions or concerns you may have. They help guide you to your end goal and most importantly they help you believe that you can do anything that you put your mind to. My teacher is Stephanie Johnson and I can’t express how amazing she has been throughout this course. If you need anything she is there for you. I’m so glad I chose this school to further my education. I will be graduating from the program soon and with the experience and knowledge I’ve gained over the past 11 weeks I will be able to get myself into the career I’ve been working so hard to get to. Thank you elite and everyone who was apart of my success. I appreciate you more than you know!
Such a great school! Hard work but can also have it’s fun moments. The staff and my classmate are super friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you succeed! Thank you Elite Dental Assisting Academy!
Great school!!! The staff is awesome, class is fast and hard but worth it. Teachers always there to help. They make you feel like family!
Elite dental was a very positive and supportive learning experience for me. More importantly, I felt valued and knew the staff taught with the best interest for their students. I think if you are interested in pursuing dental assisting, you ought to strongly consider Elite Dental to get your foot in the door toward employment. I would highly recommend them!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is amazing! They’ve helped me get my foot in the door of a career that I love. All the staff are incredibly helpful and kind. It’s hard work but the best way to succeed in something is full emersion. That being said without Elite dental to help me along the way, I don’t know if I would have been hired so quickly!
I highly recommend elite. Kristin is the BEST teacher i have ever had, she made the class super crazy and fun! Katrina and Cindy make it awesome and easy signing up. My favorite part of the class was learning how to whiten our teeth. I’m going to miss everyone!
I loved my experience at this school! The instructors were friendly, fun and very knowledgeable! They really want you to succeed! This was the best decision I could have made to jump start my dental career!! Don't hesitate, you will love it too!!
More than forever thankful to these people/ Program. Everyone is amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity Or Teacher. I would recommend this to anyone because you will accomplish doing something you never thought you’d learn or dream of doing. They will help you succeed and get a fresh start at a new beginning!
I highly recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy. It has been the best choice I have made this year. I was hired before graduating, passed my radiology exam, and given so much support and knowledge from my instructors. I appreciate all that Cindy, Tracee Godfrey, Melissa and everyone from Elite have done to help me succeed! I will miss my class and instructors!
I debated on changing my career for almost a year. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I'm so happy that I decided to start and now graduated from this amazing program. Not only did I have an amazing instructor name Tracee, who goes above and beyond for you. I also received an offer for a job right before graduation. They will help you learn all the skills you need to make a new start in a career that is growing fast. Thank you again for everything you taught me and glad I can say that I’m an Elite student!
It is such a gratifying feeling to be a student at Elite. The teachers and also the teachers assistants have years of experience in the field, so they were all very knowledgeable and willing to help and educate us students. I love this program, the teachers, and also my classmates! I can’t believe graduation is next week!! Time flies when you’re learning and having fun at the same time!
My niece went through this program and she loved it! The career she has had as a result is just one of the many ways it has been a blessing in her life. Going through the program put her on a path to better herself personally, as a wife, and as a mother.
I can't say enough good things about this program! I loved it, our instructor Kristin and the assistants that helped out were amazing. Learning to polish and bleach trays were two of my favorite classes. I found an externship and fortunately enough I got hired on before I even graduated! If you're on the fence about taking this course I say go ahead and do it, you won't regret it.
I started this class not 100% sure what I was looking for in a job. Finding an externship was hard but worth it. I went straight into a Surgical specialty and got the job before we graduated! It's a great starter to get into the dental field! It's well worth it!
Making the decision to change careers in my 30's was a difficult but necessary choice! My end goal is dental hygiene, but having a degree in art, I learned I have two years of prerequisites to finish before I can apply to hygiene school. Because dental hygiene schools are so competitive in this area, I knew I needed as much leverage as possible and that I needed to get into the field right away. I found Elite to be the perfect program for me- I needed something fast paced that worked with my schedule (single mom here!), without skimping on education. I will be a dental assistant while I work on my prerequisites for hygiene. Since day 1, I was impressed at how incredibly helpful the instructors and Cindy are. From resume prep to lab instruction, it is clear they value our success. I am forever grateful I chose a fast paced program over other options that are out there. After completion of this program and working at my externships, it is clear I have found my calling. Thank you Elite for opening the door to so many opportunities!
If you are considering dental assisting school this is the place to go! The instructors and staff are incredibly helpful and kind. I graduated with two job offers and felt ready to step out into the dental assisting world.
Excellent class and instructors! Would recommend highly to anyone looking to become a dental assistant!
I can not begin to express how thankful I am for this program! It has been a fun, busy and a full of information 13 week course that I would recommend any one to take it. It's easily manage and there's always open communication with your instructor! Opens many doors to advance your knowledge and further your education in the line of dentistry! You build friendships with people who share the same interest and want to succeed as bad as you do. I learned a lot and I thank my wonderful teacher Tracee Godfrey for that! She kept it interesting and helped with anything you needed! What I find really amazing about this program is the amount of support you get from everyone around you! You build each other up and support one another every step of the way. I would recommend this program to anyone who's willing to dive in and stay committed to a program that can really help you succeed!
Im so happy I found this place! Really helped me start a new chapter in my life. I really like that the teacher really takes her time and really helps you understand if you are struggling. Ive never enjoyed school as much i did in this school!
I just finished the program at Elite and it was the best thing I ever decided to do! It was in my budget and it was nice only having to go twice a week. It's definitely fast paced but if you put your mind to it and work hard it all pays off! I met the most amazing people through this program and I'm so grateful to have been able to go to Elite. I can't wait to start my new career!
This has been one of the best decision i have made for myself and my 2 children, taking this class as a single parent is convenient due to the hours of class and the length of the whole term is i worked out well for me this class teaches you hands on and what you need to know as a dental assistent i recomend this class to anyone ready to improve themselves and there future!!!
Elite was a great program to go through! In 13 short weeks, thanks to Tracee and everyone else, I can finally say I'm a Dental Assistant! I enjoyed learning everything to get me ready for my career and I can't wait to see what the future has in store! I would definitely recommend this program to anyone that's interested!
I GOT HIRED BEFORE I GRADUATED! Along with many of my classmates, we learned the skills and knowledge needed to become a dental assistant and got a job before we even graduated. Elite Dental Assisting Academy is amazing! They have an awesome instructor, great classroom out of an actual dental office with great equipment for learning. I highly recommend this program if you are thinking of becoming a dental assistant. This school helps you succeed in every aspect.
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is an amazing place to go to school, it's definitely been a life changing experience, and Tracee is an awesome teacher with a lot of patience! I would highly recommend this school!!
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is a great place for people with busy lives but still would like to go to school to accomplish a goal. It's only two days a week for 13 weeks so it is pretty flexible with most schedules. Kristen was a great teacher and very helpful with getting us prepared for quizes and tests. I am very excited for this new journey of mine, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store. Thank you Elite Dental for everything!
As a mother, the evening class was an amazing experience, from beginning to end! This program may be short, but it is full of lifelong information. I gained way more than expected and I can’t thank them enough. Getting an externship was no problem and I even got offered a job near the end. Elite gives you all necessary tools; you just have to apply them. Meredit is an amazing instructor! She makes sure you’re retaining the info and gives you enough resources to be successful. The patience she has makes her an even better person. Yaya was also a big help! My instructor, Meredit, is absolutely wonderful. She has a genuine passion for teaching and really takes the time to explain concepts thoroughly, ensuring that we all understand the material. Her approach is both patient and encouraging, which made learning feel accessible and enjoyable. Meredit’s supportive attitude and clear explanations created a positive learning environment where I felt confident and prepared every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and highly recommend this program to anyone interested in pursuing a career in dental assisting!
Elite Dental Assisting was great! The teachers were amazing and I learned so much! I’m now furthering my career into dental hygiene and this was the perfect first step into the dental world!
I had such an awesome experience here! I learned a lot about the dental industry and the hands-on activities made me more comfortable stepping into a whole new career. Awesome and very supportive staff!
This was by far one of the best experiences , I enjoyed this very much. I learned new skills that I’ll take on for my future career. I appreciate all my classmates but most importantly Meredith for being the best support <3
I would highly recommend Elite Dental Assistant Academy, to anyone. As a 42 year old single mom, the evening class fit perfectly with my hectic schedule. The learning environment was welcoming and comfortable. My instructor Meredit, was sweet as can be and there for any support needed. The big boss Cindy, was just as kind and there for any worries I may of had. They have continued to show support even after my graduation. A big thank you and five stars!
I was in my second year of college when I took a break due to classes being on zoom. It was not working for me and decided to take a break until classes were I person again. But It did not sit right with me that I was just home doing much. The only thing I knew is that I wanted to do something to advance in my career but did not want another zoom situation. I called many places that offer programs in dental assisting but none of them were the right fit for me. It wasn’t until various weeks of phone calls and research that I found EDAA. I was pretty scared starting the program not knowing what I was going into but my classmates and teachers made it one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.
I have had such a fun and amazing experience going to school here. The staff are so caring and supportive of you from the moment you walk through the doors continuously through your career. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to make friends while also getting a certificate. I will truly miss going to class and seeing my teachers every week. This is the best dental assisting school in the PNW. I was very well prepared for a dental assisting career.
I absolutely love this school, especially my instructor Stephanie and the lab assistant Katie. They both do such an amazing job at teaching and helping you work through things. Stephanie is so dedicated and hardworking, she is also a really good mentor. She gives great advice and helps with any concerns you might have. I’ve never enjoyed being at school more. I would recommend them to anyone looking to start a career with dental assisting. You’ll learn so much and meet great people. It was a wonderful experience.
This school is beyond wonderful. The instructors are completely out of this world. They are passionate about this field and teaching what they love to anyone and everyone. The instructors are there for you day and night to help you be successful in your dental field pursuits. Stephanie my instructor is the most down to earth kind soul out there. She will work so hard and be your biggest supporter. I cannot recommend this school enough. 3 months and I have a new rewarding career I’m proud to tell people about what I do and how I came to be in this field. If you’re thinking about applying, you won’t regret the knowledge or experiences that the school provides.
January 17 I started my journey here at Elite Dental Assisting Academy and today April 20th I have graduated from the academy. I am surely going to miss this class. I was given so many great opportunities and had great teachers. My teachers have taught me everything I needed to know before getting a job on my own with their guidance and patience. I would highly recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy! You’ll have so much fun and learn a lot.
My experience at Elite Dental was beyond wonderful. Kristen and Kim are wonderful teachers both filled with so much experience and knowledge. They made school exciting and I looked forward to going to class each day! The way they teach prepares for the Dental world. The office I did my externship at hired me and I was not only able to finish my hours but start full-time at a great salary the week following my graduation from Elite. I love the Dental Field! It's not easy but it's so rewarding!
Just Graduated! I loved my experience at Elite. Not only do you learn in a practical dental environment, you get all the tools you need to succeed. Everyone is very supportive and the 13 week course was just the right pace for accelerated learning. You also receive any support you need post graduation with learning review or job opportunities.

So happy that I decided to come to this school! It is nice to have instructors that genuinely care about your education and well being. Kristin was great throughout the entirety of the course. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested in stepping into the dental field!
Elite is such an amazing school! With all the hands on work we do and the amazing teachers and staff, I was able to be hired before graduation! Elite has given me a chance to pursue a career that has always peeked my interest in the best way possible! I recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy who loves a fast pace and hard working environment, as well as being able to feel comfortable and at home! Taking the dental assisting course at Elite really has been a wonderful experience. Thank you Elite!!! (Also a special thank you to Christine, Kim, K.C., and Meridit for all the amazing help and support you guys gave me and my class!)
I had other schools in mind but I choose Elite Dental Assisting Academy. Our instructor Stephanie is super awesome with her teachings. She made learning so fun. At first the learning experience for me was a little challenging but everyone are do helpful not only the assistance but also my classmates. It’s great to see everyone don’t leave anyone behind!
I am currently a student at Elite (a couple weeks away from graduating) and I have loved every bit of it! My teachers are awesome and good at explaining new concepts. Especially at the beginning with all of the brand new material, I was a bit nervous about going back to school again. I quickly realized however, that learning this stuff could be really fun! Each of my classmates are wonderful people and the entire staff is warm and welcoming. Now that I am nearing the end of class, I feel confident with assisting in a clinical setting. It feels amazing to have acquired the knowledge and skill set that Elite has offered me over the past few months. I am so grateful that I’ve been able to go to school here!
My time spent at Elite has been amazing! The staff were incredibly helpful! My instructor was the sweetest and was always an easy person to reach whenever I needed assistance. The fast pace program was intense but at the same time so satisfying because you get an incredible knowledge and education out of it. Thank you so much to the instructors and staff at Elite!
I was nervous to switch career paths and enroll in a 3 month program however my nerves were calmed as soon as I met with Cindy at Elite! Once classes began, my instructor, Kristin took time to go through lectures, labs, and questions thoroughly, ensuring each one of my peers and I understood the material and felt comfortable with the techniques/procedures. The program is fast paced and flies by, but if you are motivated and willing to put in the work, Elite can work for you! I graduate this week and am set to start work at the office I completed my externship at. If you are looking to enter the world of Dental Assisting, I highly recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy!
Elite Dental academy is a fast past learning environment. With that being said I loved my experience in their program. The owner is involved and actually cares about her business. She comes in and talks to her students. My instructor I can't say enough about her but she wanted us to learn and took the extra time to make sure di so. They send you job lead constantly to make you to have options and steer you clear of any bad potential bad environments. over all I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
100% RECOMMEND attending this dental assisting school!! I have enjoyed the classroom sessions, as well as the labs that take place in this school. This school really prepares you for the world of dentistry. It’s not easy but it’s different rewarding in so many ways. It’s recommended in class to complete an externship but you should do one because you learn on the job and the office you extern at will hire after graduation. There is so many offices in need of an assistant so you won’t have an issue finding work. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities I was given at the school and I will cherish my experience !!
I attended Elite Dental Assisting Academy in November of 2013 and I highly recommend this school to everybody! Not only is this school a quick three month course, but they prepare you so well for jumping right into the work field. I got hired one week after graduating from Elite! This school teaches you everything you need to know and they do it with such a helping hand. The amazing teachers and staff are very helpful when it comes to studying and the hands on practice you really need before becoming a dental assistant. I have now been a dental assistant for one year and I couldn't love my career more! I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to attend Elite Dental Assisting Academy to learn the skills I needed. Thank you Elite for everything you did for me, I will continue to recommend your school 🙂
Had such a great experience at Elite! It’s crazy how fast the 13 weeks flew by! Very fast paced and fun environment. Meredit and Mary were such great instructors! Both so knowledgeable and made the overall experience one of a kind. Can’t recommend this program enough for someone interested in the dental field!
I genuinely enjoyed my time at this school! A friend of mine graduated from here and I decided to come here as well. Kristen is an amazing, cool and really helpful teacher as well as Kim, she's super sweet! I loved coming in everyday excited to learn more and get hands on. Two weeks before I graduated, I got an externship and on my last week, I got hired!I thank them and everyone for this journey!
what a great program! i was nervous starting up here at first but all the instructors and staff are very knowledgeable and kind. this is such a quick way to learn all the basics with somehands on learning if dental assisting is the path you chose! they also state they are willing to provide you with support even after your graduate, which is great.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to go to Elite. I've been thinking about it a while back and then just kind of forgot about it. And just recently decided to go! I was so hesitant attending due to covid and all that, but it was honestly so great! My teacher was Stephanie, she was always so patient with all her students. She taught very well and was very considerate of everyone! I learned so much at this school. You definitely have to put in the work though and study for tests and stuff but if you do that you'll do great! It's a fairly easy course, at least it was for me. The staff here is always so kind and always ready to jump in and help you if need be! Definitely recommend if you're thinking of becoming a dental assistant or just to grow your knowledge!
Elite has been so patient and accommodating with everything I have needed. I'm grateful for having such an understanding teacher to help me out.
I wanted a fresh new start. I've been at my current job for the last 11 years. After many months of research from all of the programs around me I finally deiced on Elite and I'm so glad I did! Everyone at Elite treats you like family! Katrina and Cindy are so helpful with getting you started into the program. I never felt any pressure to join like I did at other school's. Stephanie was my instructor and she was made for it! When you don't believe in your self or don't think that you can do it anymore she is always there for you no matter what you need!
Stephanie and Katie were the amazing instructors. It’s very obvious that they have a lot of passion for the Dental field and it shows. I loved being in their class!!! Having the smaller class size really made it so I was able to get even better hands on learning. Overall if you are interested in starting a career as Dental Assistant, Stephanie is the one to go too :)!!
Definitely recommend if you want to take a step into the dental field! You learn lots within the short 13 weeks including plenty of hands on work to prepare you for your future career! Everyone here is super helpful! Wether it’s help with schoolwork, finding a extern, or having any sorts of questions! Shoutout to Kim and Kristin! They are both extremely helpful, if you take the course make sure to ask your instructors lots of questions, they are very knowledgeable and their advice/ tips are very helpful! I’m very glade I chose to attend elite!
This program was an AMAZING experience! I could not be happier with the choice I made to become a Dental assistant. This program was fast paced, but thorough! My instructor Stephanie Johnson was AMAZING! I am so lucky to have gotten to spend 13 weeks learning from such a professional in the field. She assisted in the process of externships, and I was hired before graduation! I highly recommend this program! 🙂
Elite dental assisting academy was a great experience for me. I want to become a dentist but I wanted to have some hands on experience before I committed to becoming a dentist. Through attending this school and volunteering in my externship, I learned that dentistry is truly what I want to do with my life. The teachers are so nice and understanding here and they really teach you a lot.
Wow... Elite Dental Academy is amazing!! My instructor Stephanie and the rest of the team are fantastic!! The team at Elite Dental Academy have so much enthusiasm and knowledge in the dental field. I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to attend a school that kept me inspired. Elite Dental Academy has been a life changing opportunity that I will forever be grateful for. I am a confident Dental Assistant, thanks to Elite Dental Academy that made it all possible.
I cant say enough great things about this school!! I was on the fence about many schools for about a year before I chose to walk in Elite for an interview and immediately felt welcomed by Katrina I left not feeling pressured or overwhelmed. She reassured all of my doubts I had personally from holding myself back. Now that I am a student I am so excited for every class. Steph, and Kirsten are AMAZING!! I feel that I AM important and ALL my questions are asked! I would recommend this program to anyone!! I'm so glad that I went here!! Thank you Elite!
I loved my time at elite! The teachers are amazing at what they do and if you don’t understand something they will do whatever it takes to help. This course really is perfect. The best mix between hands on and in book learning. I made the best decision I have ever made going here and although one of the great perks is how quickly you will get your degree I am also so sad it’s over so quick. Sad in the best way possible, because I’m gonna miss them!!! I feel very ready for my future career!
I had a WONDERFUL experience at Elite Dental! I was in the evening class on T/Th's. I enjoyed my Instructors and classmates! I loved that the program was 13 weeks and we had hands on labs as well as lectures each class. If you are looking for a new career or career change in the Dental Assisting field, I highly recommend Elite Dental!
I researched all the dental assisting schools in the area before deciding to go to Elite. My reasons for choosing the school were the length of the program, price of tuition, and the way I was treated when I visited the school. I was working full time in a different field and wasn’t able to go to school during the day so the evening program was perfect for me. I also needed to get out and into my new career quickly as I couldn’t go 8-12 months without a paycheck. The tuition was easy for me to come up with, especially compared to other programs that cost upwards of 15-20K. I am finished with school and have zero debt due to student loans. When I visited the school, I was greeted warmly, informed of every detail I needed to know about attending, and respectfully left to make my own decision without being pushed or persuaded. Elite does not want you to attend simply to fill the seats so the school can make money. They want you to be sure it’s a good fit for you and that you will succeed. As far as your success, like anything else in life, you get out what you put in. The program is accelerated so you have to be on top of it or you will fall behind quickly. You will have homework and it has to be done before you come into school each day or you will not be prepared for the class. If you are looking to fly under the radar and slide your way through the program, it’s not going to happen. If you can show up, do the work even when it’s hard and treat your teachers and fellow students with dignity and respect then Elite is a great choice.
I can’t believe how quick this 13 week class went by! I learned so much in such a short time. Kristin was wonderful in explaining everything in detail. I never had to wonder what to study for our daily tests, we were told exactly what we needed to know. Being 10+ years out of school with 3 little children at home, this was completely doable. At first I was very intimidated, especially being the oldest in my class. But everyone started at the same level and was given extra individual attention if they were struggling. Cindy was very helpful and informative throughout the entire process, from signing up for the class till the very end. I can’t wait to see where this career takes me. I will recommend this program to anyone that wants to go into dentistry.
I cannot recommend Elite enough to anyone looking into joining the Dental Assisting field. The instructors want you to succeed and it show in their teaching and hands on approach with their students. They walk you through finding an externship and make sure you have the best opportunity to have success in your dental assisting future. Both Stephanie and Katie are awesome humans and instructors! If I could have given 25 stars, I would have.
I just graduated from elite and I’m really happy with my experience. Kristen and Kim are amazing instructors, they were always so patient and truly seem to care about our development and careers. I got a job offer before I even finished this program! Thank you Elite!
I wanted to be a dental assistant because I love to interact with people. At the same time, I will be able to help them take care of their oral health. The application process was easy, and I was prepared in just 3 short months to enter a career in the dental field. School was VERY EXCITING and a little overwhelming with the amount of information I was retaining but got easier as the weeks went on. Definitely big thanks to Katrina and Kristin because without their encouragement I don't think I would of succeeded and kept going. I would recommend Elite Dental Assisting Academy if you're looking for a fast-paced way into the dental field!
The instructors are amazing here, always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we understand. I was so nervous to sign up for a quick program with how hectic my life is, but they help every step of the way and make sure you don’t miss a thing. Our class graduates on Wednesday and I can’t believe it’s over! I couldn’t have done it without Kristin and the other instructors and of course the awesome girls in my class! We got each other through it and now it’s time for the real world!
The instructors at Elite Dental Assisting Accademy are very caring and helpful! Everyone is very involved and you gain a lot of one on one experience. I can confidently say I feel prepared to go into a career as a Dental Assistant. Thank you Kristin and Kim for such a great experience!
I just graduated from this school and it was an amazing experience! All the hands-on practice helped me feel more confident in a real dental environment. All the instructors and staff are very supportive and always willing to help students. I definitely recommend this school!
This is an amazing program, i had kristin as an instructor and as a fellow mom, she made it comfortable and helpful to be here and continue moving forward! Everyone was so incredible and made this journey great! I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to make dental assisting a career for them!

I GOT HIRED BEFORE I GRADUATED! Along with many of my classmates, we learned the skills and knowledge needed to become a dental assistant and got a dental assisting job before we even graduated. Elite Dental Assisting Academy is amazing! They have an awesome instructor, great classroom out of an actual dental office with great equipment for learning. I highly recommend this program if you are thinking of becoming a dental assistant. This school helps you succeed in every aspect.

What a fantastic experience. It had everything I could have asked for! It was fast and busy, but I had help if I needed it. It was within my budget, but I never felt like the effort put forth toward my education was cheap. Kristin helped me prepare for exactly what I needed to get into the work force, and because I worked hard, I got a dental assistant job before graduating! A small class meant more focus on individuals, and I made some friends that I hope I keep in contact with.

Elite has been a complete dream come true for me. When I came into this program I was scared, unsure and hesitant to start this fast paced program. The first night in class, all my fears were gone and I knew this was the best school I could have enrolled in.
Now, after 13 short weeks. I am a Dental Assistant!! If it weren’t for my amazing teacher and everyone involved in Elite, I wouldn’t be where I am today. All I can say is that if you are thinking about coming to Elite… DO IT! You won’t regret your decision
Samantha G.
I attended Elite Dental Assisting Academy and am so happy that I did!! It was a hard course, but the teacher and staff made it easy to get through. The cost was extremely reasonable compared to long term courses.
The lectures, labs, and internship helped prepare me for working as a dental assistant in the real world. I love being a Dental Assistant, it’s challenging and rewarding, and I love meeting people.
Thank you Elite for offering a short term course with long term rewards!

I got a job before I even graduated! I think that this course was so worth the investment I made! Tracee Godfrey is the best instructor you could ask for! She is there for her students 100%. She makes your learning and employment a priority.
I was able to start earning back the investment that I made before I was even out of school. Elite is a comprehensive course and is a lot of work but is totally worth all the time we put in.
Jaque K
Dental Assistant from Portland, OR
I started working as a Dental Assistant right after graduating! This school was absolutely worth every penny, and here’s the reason why…. Tracee Godfrey!! She is the best instructor I could have ever hoped for. She was always eager to answer all my questions, and let me tell you, I had a LOT of questions. She went above and beyond the call of duty everything single day. She helped me in and outside the class room, and was ALWAYS there for me. She genuinely wanted to help you learn.
I definitely do not think I would have finished this course if it wasn’t for our instructor Tracee Godfrey. She made everything worth it. Because of her I was ready (with loads of knowledge) for my first job as a Dental Assistant which I started working as soon after graduating. I felt well equipped for work, all because of Tracee, thank you!
