We’re thrilled to announce that DAPA’s Certificate IV in Dental Assisting officially kicks off on Saturday, 31 May, and enrolments are open and places limited!

Seasoned chairside pros know that precision matters. From flawless models to snug bleaching trays, the finer details set exceptional Dental Assistants apart. DAPA’s new Certificate IV in Dental Assisting delivers the advanced Dental Technology skills that keep you at the top of your game—and enrolments have just opened for the first intake on Saturday, 31 May.

Jump start with three in-demand Dental Tech units delivered by the expert team at Charles Institute of Technology:

We’re starting strong with the Dental Technology (Dental Teach) units, giving students practical, hands-on skills that are in demand:

HLTDET001 – Construct models
HLTDET002 – Construct custom impression trays
HLTDET005 – Construct thermoformed bases and appliances

Walk away with a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and the confidence to produce models and trays that fit right—first time, every time.
