Dental Assistant Training Schools or
DATS was founded in 1988 to assist with the urgent demand for trained Dental Assistants; this demand can be described in one word -
critical.
The U.S. Department of labor states that dental assisting represents one of the top areas of employment opportunity in the United States. They further state that the shortage of dental assistants ... or, put another way, the number of available job openings ... will see a steady increase over the coming years.
Dental Assisting is one of the fastest growing professions in the country with nearly 100,000 job openings annually.
The
DATS program is very unique in many ways. It consists of a curriculum of 18 highly integrated learning sessions conducted over a 9 week span. Each of the 18 sessions are of 4 hours duration and there are two sessions each week resulting in a focused 72-hour program. The dental office is the classroom and greater than 90% of all the training is in the Operatory. Everything learned is practical and hands on with no theory or extraneous material.
DATS operates on the principle of 1 instructor for every 6 students -- ensuring a highly concentrated, one-on-one teaching and learning experience.
Our mission is to be our students' first choice, by providing them with the practical skills needed to achieve success and enter into the Dental field quickly and cost-effectively.
