Cristina NodinoJanuary 25, 2023.Loved everything about the class, all the hands on training to all the staff, They really help you get out there and get you prepared for this new career. I graduated and found a job right after and it wouldn’t be for this academy. Thank you Altrain!
monique abeitaJanuary 11, 2023.From my experience going through the dental assistant and ortho assistant program at Altrain was the best experience! I love my instructor Randy, he was the best instructor! He taught me so much! It was a lot of hands on and visual learning , not too much reading& not too much homework ! Tiffany went step by step with me on getting into the program, she was alot of help! I went to school without any knowledge of anything in the dental field and left with knowing so much! getting a career in the dental field has been always something I’ve always wanted to do! Annette is an awesome instructor for the ortho program !! Tannis was a lot of help as well she went over job placement& resumes with the class and I got a job right away in a dental office before graduating ! I loved my classmates as well! I am happy that I chose Altrain medical and dental assisting academy. If you are looking into getting into a Good dental program and affordable dental program ,Go to Altrain!! #Altraindental
