Program Costs

In order to save a place in the next class, you will need to submit your application along with a $150 nonrefundable registration fee and $350 minimum down payment no later than one week before the first class.  Tuition is due and payable in advance of the first class.  Students may arrange to make payments weekly while attending school.  Extended payment plans may be available through bank financing, based upon the applicant's personal credit position.

The total tuition for the Dental Assistant Training course is $2,950.00.  This amount includes the required textbook, supplies used in the hands-on part of the course and various handouts and supplemental materials.

The total cost may be paid using any of the following options:

1.  $150 registration fee and $2,800.00 tuition paid on or before the first day of class.

2.  $150 registration fee and a $750.00 tuition down payment, then $750.00 at the beginning of the first class, and $500.00 at the beginning of classes 2, 3, 4 (4 payments).  This option will cost $200.00 extra or approximately 7% more.

3.  $150 registration fee and a $425.00 tuition down payment, then $270.00 at the beginning of each class (10 payments).  This option will cost $325.00 extra or approximately 11% more.

4.   $150 registration fee and a $350.00 tuition down payment, then $500.00 at the beginning of classes 1, 5 and 9, and on the first day of the next three months after class is finished (6 payments).  This option will cost $550.00 extra or approximately 19% more.

Since our profession and our textbook use terms that can be technical, we are requiring that all of our students be able to read at a 10th grade level.  Applicants will be required to take a Reading Level test prior to enrolling.  Anyone scoring below 10th grade will be given the option of completing remedial training and retaking the test before reapplying.  Tests will be given at no additional charge in our office to anyone who paid their registration fee.  The director may grant conditional acceptance and provide individual reading assistance to applicants without requiring remedial training on a case-by-case basis.

Upon successful completion of the requirements for graduation, the school will provide a Certificate of Achievement.

Hospital scrubs or a white uniform and a comfortable pair of white tennis shoes or nursing shoes are recommended, but are not required, for our course.

Note:  A current CPR certification and successful registration for the PA Radiology Examination are requirements for graduation.  Radiology Tests are offered by the state in various locations at varying times of the year.  Information will be provided during the first class so students can make appropriate arrangements to receive a CPR certificate and register for the Radiology Examination before graduation.  Students are advised that OSHA requires that all employees working in a potentially hazardous job be vaccinated for Hepatits B.  This vaccination is required to be provided by the employer, but can be refused by the employee.  Since vaccination requires a series of injections given over a 6-month period, we would recommend that you check with your physician as soon as possible to determine if you have ever been vaccinated and if you should get the vaccination prior to entering the dental assisting field.
**  The costs for these tests are not included in tuition. **
