the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with an hour for lunch. Weekday classes run Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday from 6:00 p.m to 10:00 p.m.

Dress Code
For the Dental Assisting and Dental Radiographers courses, it is required that students go ahead and buy a uniform since some of the materials we work with in a dental office can permanently stain or damage clothing. Also we believe that students should get use to "being and looking like" dental assistants. Khaki or Navy Blue Hospital scrubs are the preferred NCDATS attire.
Training Aids
Instructors are supplied with teaching manuals, appropriate charts, videos, diagrams,
human mannequins and all dental equipment and supplies necessary for laboratory and operatory
training.

except in emergency situations.
