Estoy muy contenta de haberme inscrito en D.A Academy of NC. Desde el primer día sentí que estaba en el lugar correcto. Aprendes mucho, lo que no quita tu propia responsabilidad de estudio y esfuerzo. Pero muy útiles sus enseñanzas y practicas. Muy agradecida con la profesora Claudia y el resto de profesoras que con sus métodos lo hacen todo más fácil. Si solo hablas español, este es el sitio para ti. Y si hablas inglés this is also a great firt step to star this new beginning in a dental industry.

D.A Academy es una de las mejores escuelas donde puedes estudiar para convertirte en una Asistente Dental y para continuar creciendo en está carrera, yo tome el curso en Español con la Instructora Claudia es la mejor, todo lo que necesitamos aprender de conceptos e instrumentos en inglés y lo que debemos saber bien que es la explicación y la práctica en español. 100% recomiendo esta Academia el curso es rápido e intensivo, sales preparado para obtener tu trabajo profesional!!!
