Dental Assistant training program

I cannot recommend Indigo Institute enough! Every member on the team is hard working and dedicates their time to help us students succeed. The instructors are very knowledgeable and love to see their students grow. Highly highly recommend Indigo for a career in Dental Assisting and even Registered Dental Assisting. Such a fun environment!

I had a wonderful experience here at Indigo Institute. All of the instructors are extremely attentive and truly want to see students succeed. I would highly recommend Indigo Institute as an alternative to other "traditional" colleges.
Jeremy Willey
I took two classes here and I loved it!  Indigo Institute made it easy for me to get my certifications and work full time. Andrea was my instructor and she was always quick to help and consistently applied her real world knowledge to class content.

Everything we do is driven by the question you care about most: “How can I land a great job?” Unlike organizations that prioritize tuition over employment, our success is measured by your success. We accomplish this mission by leveraging the “Indigo Network” to keep the “Indigo Promise.” Here’s how it works:

The Indigo Network – leading local dental offices and dental service organizations that support students in three critical ways:

1

Network offices help shape curriculum to make sure students contribute on day one of employment

2

Network offices host in-person training sessions, providing students with critical real-world experience

3

Network offices post open positions — actual jobs — that are available for student application upon graduation


The Indigo Promise

Your Career, Guaranteed.

We’re confident Indigo is the best way to launch your dental assistant career—so confident that we back it with the Indigo Promise. Simply put, we help every graduate secure a job offer or externship within three months of completing the program. The Indigo Promise is our way of aligning our success with yours—something no other school offers.
