What will your learn in DDI’s Dental Office Administration Course?

Our Dental Office Administration course is ideal for someone looking to be in the workforce in a short amount of time. Our online course offers you the flexibility of learning online and you’ll be certified in 16 weeks from start to finish. This course is perfect for a student just graduating high school or someone wanting a career change.

Our Dental Office Administrator Course is divided into two parts, both must be completed to receive a Dental Office Administrator Certificate from Alberta Advanced Education (link).

1)    12 weeks of online learning

2)    4-week practicum

During our 12 weeks of online learning, you will be instructed by both Filomena Cioffi and Chantelle Warren who have 40+ years of combined dental experience. During your instruction time, we encourage interaction and class discussions. You’ll be able to ask questions and seek support along the way. You will learn:

·      Basic clinical dental theory.

·      Legal and ethical privacy regulations.

·      Patient relations and care.

·      Dental insurance claims, fee guides, and basic accounting procedures.

·      Customer service and reception duties.

·      Effective communication with co-workers and clients.

·      Oral anatomy and terminology.

·      Records and scheduling.

·      Dental software management.

Following the online portion of our Dental Office Administration program, we will secure a practicum placement for you in a dental office. Your dental office practicum really prepares you to begin your career. It gives you valuable hands-on experience to reinforce what you have learned.

We have found that many graduates actually secure their first career position during their practicum placement! Being a practicum student introduces you to the dental field and many make connections with colleagues.

We are excited to take this journey with you! We hope to see you in our DDI Dental Office Administrator Course.
