E-learning products for the Dental Assisting National Board's (DANB) General Chairside Assisting exam now available

The DALE Foundation, the official DANB affiliate, recently launched two new online e-learning products: the DANB GC Review Part II and the DANB GC Practice Test.

Both of these e-learning products will help exam candidates prepare for DANB’s General Chairside Assisting, or GC, exam, which is a component of DANB’s Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) national certification exam.

The DANB GC Practice Test, at only $15, is an interactive, self-paced study aid that guides learners through more than 200 questions and answers based on DANB’s GC exam blueprint.* The GC Practice Test is a great way to assess and improve your test-taking skills before exam day. You will have six months to access this e-learning product, which allows you to use the material as much as you like to check your progress, work on trouble spots and make sure you’re ready for the GC exam.

For a more comprehensive exam preparation tool, the DANB GC Review Part II covers the fundamentals of general chairside assisting and then guides you through virtual patient scenarios of dental assisting functions for specialty areas such as prosthodontics and oral surgery procedures. With an estimated 12-hour completion time, the DANB GC Review Part II includes 10 pre-assessment questions and 75 post-course assessment questions. You can take the post-course assessment as many times as you wish during the course’s six-month access period, and you’ll earn 12 CE credits after successfully completing the course.

"Our learners may now access a complete series of review courses and practice tests for all three of the component exams for DANB’s CDA certification exam,” says Cindy Durley, Executive Director for DANB and the DALE Foundation. “We are very excited to provide such high-quality online interactive products for the oral healthcare community.”

Until the end of 2012, the DANB GC Practice Test, DANB ICE Practice Test, and DANB RHS Test are all available at the introductory price of $15 each. As of January 1, 2013, the cost will be $30 each.
