Certified Dental Assistant

The University of the Fraser Valley’s accredited 10-month (September–June) Certified Dental Assistant certificate program provides students with the opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes necessary for employment as a certified dental assistant.

This program combines clinical practice with lectures in preparation for a career in private practice, dental clinics, and other public health facilities.

Throughout the program, students gain extensive clinical experience. In addition to working at the UFV dental clinic, the curriculum includes two practices with local dentistry practices, which provide students with full-time experience in a dental office.
