Little information is provided by Assist to Succeed regarding class information, but the website indicates that tuition for classes can vary from location to location. Students pay a one-time fee for classes with the promise that there will be no hidden fees or additional costs because the school provides all necessary dental supplies and materials that are used in the clinical training sessions. Training is provided with a hands-on emphasis so that students get the benefit of learning the practice of dental assisting. Some lecture and bookwork is also included as part of the curriculum. Students receive a copy of "Modern Dental Assisting" by Hazel Torres and Ann Ehrlich. Coursework can vary from location to location as can the length of time needed to complete it; this usually varies by state requirements. Students are trained in general dentistry assisting and in various specialized fields as well.
Upon completion of the program, students receive a "Certificate in Dental Assisting," which qualifies them to work in the dental assisting field. Students must complete all classes with a passing grade of 85 percent or above. Doing so qualifies them to also receive a letter of recommendation from the school as they apply for dental assistant positions. In order to further help students obtain positions upon graduation, further assistance is provided through interview training, a job referral service and job placement assistance as well.
