Dental Assistant

The primary duties of both registered dental assistants are the same as those with a CDA. RDAs help dentists care for patients in the treatment room and through administrative tasks. ICATAP Academics and on-the-job training with a minimum of 1000 hours are completed with the candidate taking the RDA exam, a national credential the American Medical Technologists issues that qualify an individual to work as a registered dental assistant.

  • An agreed-upon schedule begins with full-time apprentice training on-site while coursework commences in the hybrid academic setting with ICATAP outside of the workday.

  • Apprentices will be employed full-time for 52  weeks of on-site training ( a minimum of 2000 hours of skill development).

  • Apprentices move out of the program and remain in employment after completing the board exam for the program.
