Clinical refreshers are offered by some dental assisting schools in Alberta. We have a list of the dental assisting programs, including which ones offer other courses like refreshers. The fee for a refresher course is approximately $825.00 to $1,000.00. Each school sets the fee for the courses they offer, and the fees are subject to change.
Review dental assisting schools, including refresher courses
If you need to complete a clinical refresher course to meet our current practice requirement, the school will ask for a clinical refresher letter.
