The Dental Assisting program provides the education required to work as a certified dental assistant (Levels I and II). As a student in this program, you will develop the skills, technical knowledge and clinical experience necessary to work in a professional, ethical and collaborative manner in a variety of settings.

The Dental Office Administration program will teach you the administrative skills and clinical knowledge needed to work effectively in a dental practice. You’ll also get ample hands-on experience off-site with a dental partner, so you’ll be ready to work upon graduation.

The Personal Support Worker (PSW) program will teach you the skills required to provide or assist with personal care for the elderly, the chronically ill and persons with accessibility challenges. These patients may live in the community, in long-term care facilities or in select ambulatory care settings.
