The National Entry Level Dental Assistant (NELDA) certification from the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) has 3 component exams: the Radiation Health and Safety (RHS) exam, the Infection Control Exam (ICE), and the Anatomy, Morphology and Physiology (AMP) exam. Your CareerStep Dental Assistant Program will prepare you to sit for the full NELDA certification and includes a voucher that you can use for the three component exams (RHS, ICE, and AMP).
Once you have completed all three of the NELDA component exams, you will need to meet the work experience requirement criteria of 300 hours, to meet the full NELDA certification.
