We are a “hands-on learning program”. This differs a bit from traditional education. Our classes take place in a dental office and a class learning center. A majority of the learning is hands-on. Our classes begin with lecture/class discussion, but a majority of the time is spent in lab where students are in the operatories learning one on one with instructors to take impressions, pour up models, etc. When our professional students complete the program and start working, they feel comfortable in the office setting because that’s the environment they were trained in.
