(Students taking 12 credit hours per semester can complete this certificate in 1 semester)

Health Professions Required Courses (9 Hours)

Note:

Not all courses are available each semester; consult the Catalog to aid in planning.

Completion of the CP Dental Assistant will reduce the number of hours in the first semester of the Technical Certificate Dental Assistant by half. The TC Dental Assistant is an application program and requires students to apply for consideration and admissions. 

*This certificate does not result in a state or national certification or licensure.

Possible Placement Requirements

These courses are for developing college level skills.

NWACC strongly recommends that students enroll in English and math preparatory courses within the first two semesters.

These hours will not fulfill any degree requirements at NWACC. These courses will not transfer to a four year institution.
