Home › Illinois › Dental Assisting apprenticeships
2 registered apprenticeship programs in Illinois train dental assisting apprentices. Registered apprenticeships (U.S. Dept of Labor) pay wages from day one — training costs are typically covered by the sponsor instead of tuition. Most run 2–5 years to full journey-level pay, and you apply directly to the sponsor. Licensing note: Not applicable — on-the-job training is the standard entry route since no credential is required; 1,000 hours of experience is itself a qualifying prerequisite for expanded-function courses.
