Home › Pennsylvania › Dental Assisting apprenticeships
5 registered apprenticeship programs in Pennsylvania 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: Basic assisting is learned on the job with no schooling requirement; there is no apprenticeship substitute for the RHS exam (x-rays) or for the formal education required for EFDA certification.
