Why Pursue Professional Office Assistant Certification?
As a dental office assistant, you are not required by law to be licensed or certified, but you may choose to become a Certified Professional Office Assistant. This is a voluntary certification that can be earned through the Advance Dental Training’s Professional Office Assistant Certification program. This certification shows that you have met the detailed qualifications required to earn the credential. If you intend to become a dental office assistant, chances are your employer will want you to become certified.
There are many reasons to become certified. Certified Professional Office Assistants have taken the steps to show that they are highly skilled and knowledgeable. As such, employers often prefer certified dental assistants over job candidates that are not certified.
