A simplified dental lab training service offered to all dental professionals seeking CE, Certification, or skill training.
DLT is a training service for all dental professionals regardless of the experience in their professional dental journey.
Services are structured to accommodate digital technicians, dental clinical staff, or commercial laboratories who seek dental laboratory training but are limited on time and resources.
DLT curriculum conforms with PTC Dental and The National Association of Dental Laboratories, teaching the fundamentals
of Dental Laboratory Technology.
All courses are accredited with The National Board of Certification in Dental Technology.
DLT Training & Education trains technicians to have a full understanding of dental anatomy and physiology in digital and analog technologies.
Education in dental tech fundamentals offers any technician the ability to fully understand their work before, during, and after task performance.
No matter where you find yourself in your career, DLT Training can help take any dental professional to the next level with:
DLT Training supports PTC Dental Fundamental courses:
A lab that already invested in these PTC resources and needs to offer PTC Fundamentals to newer employees, is the lab that most benefits from our services.
We embrace the PTC goal of simplifying dental fundamentals and want to make it convenient without breaking the bank. Each course delivers 8 hours of training that is delivered remotely through Microsoft Teams, two hours a day.
The training schedule is up to you. Some labs prefer four days in a row while others schedule once a week. DLT is available to train Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 7:00pm CST, and Saturdays 9:00am to 11:00am CST... whatever is most convenient for you.
We can train a single technician or up to four students at the same time. This is ideal for new technicians and experienced technicians to learn the same material, speak the same language, and use the same learning resources for a mutual understanding among co-workers and consistency in production.
This course does exactly as it says. It prepares technicians for the CDT Comprehensive and Specialty Exams.
Our curriculum is based off The NADL study plan and recommended study material.
DLT Training did all the work for the CDT Candidate to create an exam prep curriculum. This curriculum is complete with e-books, review questions, support tutorials, and a practice written exam.
We organize study groups to meet like a book club. The group connects remotely through Microsoft Teams once a month for two hours. This allows technicians from all over to prepare for the same exam.
At registration, the CDT Candidate can begin preparing immediately. An email is sent with PART ONE study materials, review questionnaire, and a schedule with syllabus indicating the subjects and dates to connect to the class.
During each session the class discusses the review questionnaire and makes reference to their study material.
After class, students receive an email with the next book in the study plan and the format repeats itself.
At the end of the course, DLT Training issues a practice CDT Written Exam where each candidate evaluates their proficiency and discovers areas that require more study before applying for the National Exam.
