About the Dental Assistant Program
If you want to become a Certified Dental Assistant, you will join the ranks of thousands of professional women and men in British Columbia, and many more thousands across Canada.
Dentistry is a growing, dynamic profession that provides much opportunity for employment, education, and advancement. If you are caring, like working with people as a team member, and enjoy variety in the workplace, this may be the profession for you.
People interested in becoming Certified Dental Assistants should enjoy working with others, and be able to deal with people who may be under stress. Personal neatness, cleanliness and good health are also important qualities. Certified Dental Assistants must have manual dexterity, good interpersonal communication skills, basic analytical skills and knowledge of new technology related to the field.

Discover Your Opportunities with the Canadian Forces
Our Dental Assistant program has been recognized by the Canadian Forces (CF) and now qualifies for a CF Paid Education program. Students who graduate from the Dental Assistant Program receive advanced standing as a Dental Technician in the Canadian Forces (subject to successful enrolment in the CF). This results in a higher rate of pay relative to CF members who have not graduated from a CF-recognized program.
