2023 was a rough year for me. I lost a lot but I also gained a lot. I desperately needed to start working, but I wanted to spend my time on starting a career and not working a typical 9-5 that I won’t grow in or be happy in. I decided to do research and stumbled upon Health Tech Academy. I gave them a call and I was very happy to know that it was at my own pace and I could get finished as quickly as I was capable. The only other thing I needed to figure out was the financial aspect of it, I was nervous about that. Luckily, there was an affordable payment plan! Because I have health care knowledge already, I was happy to see that I got through the program very quickly and was satisfied with the learning experience.

Orientation was quick and easy to follow. I expect to learn a lot from this course. Some things include types of sutures, sterile technique, and how different medical instruments work.

The DA program offered by Health Tech Academy is a cost-friendly course that really prepares you for the responsibilities of being a dental assistant. I felt that it worked perfectly for my busy schedule and was nice to my pockets! The team was very on point with their assistance and making sure that I got to experience the entirety of what the course had to offer. Overall, great communication and great course material!

The orientation session wasn't just a roadmap, it was a spark igniting my passion for this dynamic field. This bootcamp isn't just about filling my brain with facts; it's about shaping my career. The focus on practical skills like troubleshooting, data management, and user training resonated deeply. I can already picture myself confidently implementing cutting-edge technologies and empowering healthcare professionals with their use.
