Central Career School has built its reputation as one of the leading dental assistant schools in New Jersey. It is located in Plainfield making it easily accessible to residents of Middlesex, Sommerset and Union counties. This means you can enroll and get training and be ready to meet the challenges of dental assisting not only in New Jersey but other parts of the country. It offers a 32-week day program, or if you can't attend classes because of a job, evening classes will allow you to complete the training in 57 weeks. Dental assisting, chairside assisting and radiology make up the bulk of the program with at least 125 hours devoted to each one. An externship of 100 hours is also included as part of the training to give each student a real feel for the actual workplace. There are debates as to whether short-term or longer-term training is more effective when finally seeking out jobs. Most dental assistant schools in New Jersey understand that they need to prepare graduates not just knowledge-wise but more importantly in hands-on training to give them the edge from among a very competitive pool.
