This program is offered in a hybrid training format, a combination of distance education and on-campus classes. And, with American Institute’s hybrid approach, an instructor is available to help students even when they are not on campus in person by using a learning management system that students can access online. The distance education portion of the Dental Assisting program is available to students via any high-speed internet connection. Our online LMS allows students to log in for lectures, ask questions, and do homework assignments according to their own schedule. Faculty, administration and students can utilize live chats or video chats in an individual setting or with all students at once. Questions can be posted for the instructor to respond, which allows for enhanced communication – a key to the success of students in the hybrid program.
