"My favourite part of the program has been going out and job shadowing all the different types of dental offices in town. I get to see the different kinds of job opportunities that are available and determine what kind of office I would enjoy working in after graduation."

"I actually graduated from this program at CNC. One of the previous faculty members encouraged me to complete my provincial instructor diploma to allow me to teach in the Dental Assisting program. The program at CNC is nationally accredited and our graduates are sought after for their level of knowledge and skills.  This program is an intense 10-month program; when students graduate, they are career-ready."

"There aren’t very many MLTS programs in Canada, especially out west. Most other programs are in major cities. Because we’re in a smaller city and we’re a smaller program, we’re able to deliver a much more personal experience for our students."
