A Simple Path To Florida Certification
You Already Know Dental Assisting. Now Get Florida Certified!
​
This is not a beginner training course. We don't teach you how to become a dental assistant from scratch. Instead, our program is designed to evaluate your existing knowledge and clinical skills and ensure you're prepared to perform the required EFDA and radiology duties in Florida.
​
If you've already been professionally trained and have experience performing these duties, our streamlined certification course can get you certified quickly in one weekend.
