About Australian Academy of Dental Assisting
Australian Academy of Dental Assisting’s sole purpose is to raise the level of graduates creating employable, desirable and well trained Dental Assistants (DA) that can enter the workforce immediately as an experienced DA. Our point of difference is to spend more time on the practical than the theory whilst not decreasing the theory program. Everyone learns quickly with on-the-job training so we have incorporated this as a key element within our course.
You will be gaining real experience on real patients in a real dental surgery with real dentists supervising you.
By focusing on hands on learning you will develop excellent time management skills with a solid understanding of dental procedures.
Your learning potential in our practical component is immeasurable and the most valuable aspect of this course. Being able to learn all this in a helpful, supportive environment instead of at your first job is the key to your confidence and success.
