NDAEB Written Exam (Dental Assistance)

Become a Dental Assistant in Canada

Course Overview

The National Dental Assisting Examining Board (NDAEB) Written Exam is an assessment dental assistants take to ensure they have met educational requirements following Canadian standards. This test is taken by both students who have completed an accredited Canadian dental assisting education program and international dental assistants who now want to practice in Canada. For non-accredited and internationally educated students, the Written Exam might be part of a two-step process to receive the NDAEB certificate. Please confirm NDAEB certification requirements with your provincial dental assisting regulatory authorities.

At Prep Doctors our NDAEB Written Exam course covers all key areas of dental assistance to ensure a well-rounded education and thorough preparation for the examination. Our course covers the essential concepts with detailed lectures, study material, a mock exam, and access to a question bank. You will cover 10+ dental assistance topics led by an expert instructor, providing you with the information needed to pass the NDAEB exam.

took the AFK preparation course at Prep Doctors, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The best part of the course was my advisor, Dr. Parnia. Her handouts were extremely useful, and I used them a lot throughout my studies.Whenever I felt stressed, she was always there to support me and put my mind at ease. She was always available, no matter when I needed guidance. Her explanations were clear, and she truly cared about my progress.Dr. Parnia is not only knowledgeable but also very encouraging. She goes above and beyond to ensure her students feel confident and well-prepared. I highly recommend her to anyone taking the AFK exam!

I recently completed the Mastering of Basics of Surgery course in Prep Doctors, and I must say it was an excellent learning experience. The course provided basic knowledge and practical skills essential for mastering basic dental surgical techniques.The curriculum was well-organized and was structured logically, making it easy to follow and progressively build expertise. Dr.Marwan is highly knowledgeable and experienced professional. He explained procedures with clarity that enhanced understanding.One of the strongest aspects of this course was its emphasis on hands-on training. The live demonstrations, workshops, and supervised practice sessions ensured that I regain the confidence to perform various surgical procedures independently.This course was a great investment in my professional growth. It prepared me to handle cases with confidence.I highly recommend this course.

The course provided a solid foundation in surgical principles, with a perfect balance of theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice. The instructors were highly knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to ensuring every student understood the material. The practical sessions were particularly valuable, helping to build confidence in essential surgical techniques. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their surgical skills in a structured and supportive learning environment.Special mention to Dipty for always answering all questions.

I recently had the opportunity to inquire about the NDECC exam and tuition costs at this center, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed with the front desk staff. They provided a clear, well-detailed explanation of the entire process, from the exam structure to the associated tuition fees. They took the time to break down everything in a way that was easy to understand, making sure I felt comfortable with all the information before moving forward. Their professionalism and helpfulness definitely made the experience more reassuring. Would recommend for anyone looking for transparent and helpful guidance for whole equivalency process.
