How long does it take to finish dental assistant courses, need advice fast?

I am wanting to become a certified dental assistant and then move on to become a hygenist. There has been courses offered around where I live that lasts like 10 weeks, which seems so short. I was interested in them but didnt have the time to pick them up during the time they were offered. I found out that the college i will be attending next semester offeres the dental assistant courses but it may be too late for me to register for them. Do they last like one full semester at colleges or for a full year?How long does it take to finish dental assistant courses, need advice fast?
It will probably depend on the requirements of the state you live in, so it's pretty hard to say.





Talk to one of the academic counselors at the college.
