Dental Assistant Externship

Charlotte Dental Assistant School 40-hour externship program provides our students with the real-world experience they need to become confident and qualified dental assistants.

Students at Charlotte Dental Assistant School are eligible to begin their externships after class 3. Although we encourage our students to find their own externships, our Student Success Specialists are here to help our students identify potential opportunities in the area and assist with applications.

What Do I Get After Graduation?

Charlotte Dental Assistant School is licensed and regulated by the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges, so you will receive your BLS certification and a Certificate of Completion to be a Dental Assistant I. While North Carolina does not have a state exam to be a dental assistant, dental assistants must take a NC Board of Dental Examiners approved course and pass its final examination to be able to perform radiography. Our course meets this requirement.

Ready to get started? Weā€™re here to ensure you have all the proper resources and requirements prior to enrollment, so you feel prepared to jump into your new career with confidence! Hereā€™s what youā€™ll need:

  • Provide your high school transcript, certificate of high school equivalency, or college transcript.

    High school or college diplomas will not be accepted, and all transcripts must show completion.
    If your transcript is from outside the United States, it will require evaluation through a third party showing equivalency to a high school education in the United States. Here is a provider who can help: SpanTran Evaluation Company.

  • U.S. government-issued photo ID.

    You must be at least 17 years old. If youā€™re under 18, we will require written permission from a parent or legal guardian in order to enroll.
