Continuing Education

HOME STUDY / DISTANCE LEARNING

The following resources are available for dental technicians who are interested in obtaining Continuing Education Credits through directed home-study or distance learning.

PLEASE NOTE: Many of the courses available through the CDAA and UBC are non-technical and registrants may only claim a maximum of 6 non-technical credits in a three-year cycle. In order to qualify as "technical", the material must be directly related to a registrant's practice of dental technology.

If you are unsure about whether the course you are considering is eligible for technical credits, please contact the College. Direct all inquiries to the office manager, Susan Still, at 604-278-8324 or by email at manager@cdt.bc.ca.
