Accelerated Classes That Suit Your Schedule
Dental assistant student support should be tailored to your needs. We understand that balancing life and education can be a challenge. That’s why AIDA provides classes to suit all schedules. Our 13-week accelerated program empowers you to get comprehensive dental assistant career support without having to worry about fitting your learning into your busy schedule.
We combine expert dental assistant student resources with long-term support to help you thrive inside the clinic and in your career after earning your certificate.
Build Your Confidence Through Hands-On Clinical Training
It takes a community of experts to inspire confidence. Our team of dental professionals draws on their decades of experience to create training focused on real-world scenarios. Instead of just practicing on models, you’ll be learning through exclusive live patient clinics that take you out of the classroom and beside your instructor.
The smaller, more intimate nature of our classes provides you with close attention and mentorship from your first day with us. It’s how we deliver fast training that gives you lifelong career skills.

Common Questions
It’s perfectly normal to have questions about what your learning experience will be like. Below are the most commonly asked questions about AIDA’s dental assistant student support services:
Our students don’t need prior medical experience. AIDA’s foundational resources, expert instructors and hands-on clinical training provide you with support and guidance from your first day. While there may be some exceptions in who we accept, a lack of medical experience won’t be a factor.
The main reason for our predictable, 13-week schedule is to support busy adults and parents. Our classes typically run in the daytime, evenings and even weekends for people with family obligations. We’ll also match you with the campus location that’s closest to you. Whether it’s our Phoenix campus or our Mesa campus, we make your commute easier for your family life.
No problem! We take great pride in how accessible our dentist instructors are. You’ll form strong relationships with them and learn from their expertise. They’ll know you and your specific career goals, which will help pinpoint any areas of clinical skill improvement and the dental assistant resources you need to support these goals.
