SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arch Dental Assistant School is proud to announce the opening of its new SLC campus this winter. Launching winter 2025, the 10-week program offers affordable dental assistant training that combines online classes and hands-on training, designed to prepare students for certification and employment in Utah’s growing dental industry.

Located at 8846 S Redwood Rd, Suite N201, West Jordan, UT 84088, the school combines practical learning with real-world experience through a partnership with a local dental office, providing students with valuable externship opportunities inside a working dental practice.

“At Arch Dental Assistant School, we’re focused on building confident, capable dental professionals while supporting the needs of local dental offices,” said Sam Gildkey, Program Manager of Arch Dental Assistant School. “Our students gain real experience before graduation, which benefits not just them—but the community’s dental workforce as a whole.”

Students at Arch Dental Assistant School complete online learning that fits within their busy lives while gaining essential, hands-on clinical training and and externship within a local dental practice, where they apply classroom concepts in a real patient care environment. Before entering their externships, students complete rigorous laboratory coursework and earn their CPR certification, ensuring they are prepared to contribute on day one. Through the externship network, students gain experience working directly with dentists, hygienists, and clinical teams—developing both technical and interpersonal skills essential to success in the field.

By hosting Arch externs, dental offices help shape the next generation of dental professionals and gain early access to job-ready talent trained in sterilization, radiography, charting, and patient management.

“The externship is at the heart of how we prepare students for success,” said Chris Lofton, Chief Executive Officer of Zollege. “By giving students direct access to clinical environments, we’re not just teaching skills—we’re strengthening local dental teams and empowering practices to grow with confident, well-trained assistants.”

Arch Dental Assistant School’s 10-week program is structured to make education attainable and efficient, offering flexible payment options that allow students to graduate without student loan debt. The curriculum covers key areas of dental assisting, including dental anatomy and physiology, infection control, chairside procedures, radiography, and office administration.

When our students pass the State RDA (Registered Dental Assistant) exam, they receive their RDA license. They also receive a Certificate of Completion and BLS (CPR) card.
