Even as someone who hates early mornings, I never left this class in a bad mood or feeling discouraged. Shajuana and Essence made each class not just educational with their hands on and comprehensive approach, but personal and enjoyable. They got to know each of us, asked about our families and jobs to help us find the right specialty and path, made everyone laugh, and overall made each Saturday an enjoyable experience. They made an effort on our last day to make OUR efforts feel seen. I’ll be happy to sleep in but miss the wonderful people I met through this experience and I’m grateful for how extensive this course was. I can leave feeling confident that I have relevant knowledge not just in the technical aspect of Dental Assisting but with real world advice from experienced mentors. Highly recommend. Thank you Shajuana and Essence!! - Paige P. Read less

I was finished this program last week. Instructor Ornela Orneta is amazing by going above and beyond. She is very smart, knowledgeable and very professional. I am very happy that I was taking this program that suited to my schedule. As a mother of two I only had weekends available, so this was perfect for me. Aside from that, the hands on training as well as the online courses we're very helpful. I've learned a lot and ready to start my new journey. Thank you for offering this program, it has been helpful to me. I Highly recommended it to my friends, families and anyone who is considering taking in this program. Read less
