Accreditation ensures that a dental assisting program meets the national educational standards required for certification and licensing.
The Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC) accredits dental assisting programs to ensure quality education.
Graduates from accredited programs are automatically eligible to take the NDAEB certification exam without additional assessments.
Certification from the NDAEB is a mandatory requirement for licensing as a dental assistant in many provinces across Canada.
NDAEB certification ensures that dental assistants meet consistent national standards required for licensing in various provinces.
Provinces such as Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia mandate NDAEB certification as part of their licensing process.
