How to Apply to Dental Assisting Programs At Clackamas Community College

Clackamas Community College, or CCC, offers several certificates in various medical fields, including a dental assisting program. This program takes one year to complete and during this time you will learn everything you need to know to work as a professional dental assistant in a dental office. Once you complete the program, however, you must pass a certifying exam through the Dental Assisting National Board, or DANB, to be eligible to look for work. Applying to the dental assisting program at Clackamas Community College is the first step to take in this process.
