Indigo is unlike any college or post-secondary school. Our priority is to train the very best dental assistants and office administrators, then help them land great jobs! Because of this, we design each dental assistant course with “the end in mind.” This means we form class sizes based on actual job openings in the Indigo Network, only admit those students we think are capable of filling dental assistant positions, and then train them with all the skills and qualities our dental industry experts have identified as important for today’s modern offices. We’re so confident Indigo graduates will land a great job that we offer the Indigo Promise — our post-graduation job placement assistance. We also offer more advanced Registered Dental Assistant (“RDA”) certificates and an RDA exam preparation course.
At Indigo, we believe in the convenience of online learning and the value of hands-on, in-person training, which is why we teach using an accelerated "hybrid" model. You will have weekly coursework online supplemented with weekly in-person training sessions, focused on the skills you learned during the week. This model provides you with the critical repetitions you need to confidently perform your best starting day one. Our curriculum is designed, and taught, by dental industry experts who have identified the critical skills necessary for modern dental offices. The flexible online curriculum and weekend hands-on training classes enable you to easily transition from your current job or schooling into an exciting new dental career. The in-person clinical training and externships are held in leading local dental offices. In the end, Indigo's programs ensure that you become an effective and confident dental professional.
