Students might start by investigating the programs offered by Vancouver Community College. Not only does the college offer students an opportunity to become a certified dental assistant, dental hygienist or a dental reception coordinator, the faculty works with students to find ways to advance their credentials. A good example is their program to advance certified dental assistants towards becoming dental hygienists (Dental Hygiene Access for CDAs). Future dental hygienists can consider the program available at the Vancouver College of Dental Hygiene for an accelerated program of just 18 months. For dental students working towards post-doctoral certification, the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Dentistry is known for the depth of its overall program.
