It was easy, convenient, and fun. I would recommend this to anyone who is busy with work or busy being a parent. You have a whole week to go over and finish your online modules, whatever you went over that week will be reviewed the following Saturday in class. The class takes place at an actual dental office so you'll be pretty familiar with how to set up & break down a room etc. But as for hands on training its between your classmates and Dexter for x-ray practices. Mandy was my instructor she was fun but not TOO fun because she wants you to take the class seriously. I would of loved to rate this program 5 stars but we weren't given much help for the DANB RHS exam. Once the program was over we were signed up to go take our exam (it was super hard). The x-ray final you take through Zollege is probably like 10% of the actual DANB exam. I failed my RHS exam and since the $270 fee was included in my tuition ill have to pay that fee myself again. Overall I loved PDAS but if i could recommend one thing it would be additional help on taking the RHS exam. Read less
