My wife went to this school ..Mrs Shon is maybe the most lazy unprofessional rude teacher in history... 2 people quit the first week since you dont learn anything and the other students all complained but they dont care ... you learn nothing from this teacher... it is so sad that schools like this even can still be in business stealing from people just trying to get a better job and start a profession. They just want your money and dont care about teaching you ..sad sad sad mrs shon should not be allowed to teach anything ... well my wife lost 3600 dollars and a lot of time .. it is sad these schools dont care or even try to be better.

As a visual learner, I enjoyed the curriculum as it was visually informative and interactive. It was straightforward and relatively simple to understand. I enjoyed the teachers we got each week as they were informative, engaging, fun, giving constructive feedback, and patient. I would recommend to my friends looking to become dental assistants to apply here!

seriously so unprofessional and unorganized. Mrs Shon could be very rude at times and unhelpful, made me scared to ask questions because of how rude she could be. They teach you the bare minimum and some girls in my class didn’t even get her scrubs that are supposed to come with the 4000 dollar tuition. Not to mention my professors got into a fight right before class and left the students without notice forcing us to have to reschedule the class and no we were not compensated or told in advance everyone was ready for class when we got dismissed because the teacher got into a fight and left SOOO UNPROFESSIONAL. Most of the times the professors were on the phone in a different room or talking trash about past students. Now I have graduated and the admission are so hard to get into contact with my advisor Angela is no help and lots of my classmates are struggling to apply for their licensing. I still have not been able to apply for my licensing because the school gave us no help and I seriously regret my decision ever paying for this school. Seriously think twice before applying.

Very helpful to learn all of the hands-on tasks of a dental assistant prior to entering the workforce. Ms. Shon and Ms. Courtney were the best!! Always super informative and made sure all of the students could make the most of their learning experience and benefit from the classes.

Would I pick this specific school and location again? Probably not. I enjoyed my classmates and the instructors, Ms cindy was 1 of 2 of the teachers that taught me. Both teachers have prior RDA experience and are very knowledgable. Besides the instructors, admin needs a lot of work. I think admin needs to prioritize responding back to students, maybe office hours need to be put in place so we can get what we pay for. The school is a good learning base for new rda’s trying to join the field. I was taught how to take x-rays, learned instruments names, poured up teeth models, and took impressions. Wish I was taught more on infection control and being chair-side, but I’m guessing you get that experience from your required 40 hr externship. When it comes to the cons there is a great amount. We didn’t receive our scrubs till we had about like 3 classes left of in person lab. Not to mention they really cheaped out on the scrubs, felt like paper material. I’ve heard of other schools getting greys anatomy scrubs and for 4k$ classes, thats what you would expect. Next, we were told previous classes received typodont models and were able to get some alginate impression material to practice on
