Cert in Dental Office Administration is a certificate in Business Administration programme offered by Niagara College in Niagara Falls, Canada. The programme runs for 1 year, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 8,075 per semester (CAD 1,385 per semester for local students).
Even though no one knew how the pandemic would effect colleges, I feel like this year was amazing and teachers had a humility about them that I wasn’t expecting. My instructors have literally been the best instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a student of. The courses are 100% what we need in the field and have experienced in the workplace. Their advice on the reality of the dental industry goes beyond textbooks. I just enjoyed myself so much and learned so much this year.
