Learning Without the Roadblocks

Nikki worked closely with me to complete my Certificate III a few years back and I have just completed my Certificate IV with Nikki’s help again as well as Marita. They are both so willing to make things happen to make sure that you don’t have to organise too much and you can just focus on your studies. For example my practice does not have an OPG machine so they organised another practice for me to complete my OPG assessment. They’re both very encouraging and helpful and it makes it so much easier to get through the course with their support. Cloud assess is easy to navigate and track your progress and the content is relevant and easy to understand. I’ve learned so much from completing my Cert III & IV and can’t recommend AADA enough.

Falling in Love with the Dental Industry

I’ve recently qualified with AADA College!
My trainer was Loren, she was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable throughout the course. I also had the pleasure of meeting Nikki, who trained me in First Aid and CPR, and has been an amazing support ever since. I’ve truly fallen in love with the dental industry, and having people like Loren and Nikki on this journey has been a real blessing. Shout out to Marita as well!
If you’re looking to get qualified, I highly recommend AADA College. Definitely 5 stars only because there isn’t an option to give 10.
