The Entry Level Dental Assistant Program (DA100-DE) is a 12-week hybrid program designed to prepare students for entry-level employment in dental practices.

Graduates gain foundational knowledge in infection control, chairside assisting, dental radiography, dental materials, office emergencies, and patient communication. The program emphasizes professionalism, safety, and real-world clinical readiness. Upon successful completion, students receive a Certificate of Completion and are eligible to apply for registration as a Dental Assistant in Washington State.
