National Dental Assisting Examining Board (NDAEB)

January 24, 2023

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our graduates who have written the NDAEB (national) exam for dental assisting in Canada! We continue to see the hard work that they put in to writing this high stakes examination and we are SO PROUD of them!

To date, Risio Institute has had 34 writers for the national exam, with more to come in 2023, as we begin seeing monthly graduating classes. The NDAEB examination is held every 3-months, so our next set of graduating classes will write in March!

Risio students have ALL passed the NDAEB exam to date, with success rates above 10% higher than the pass grade and consistently higher than the national average in Canada. While we do our best to prepare our graduates for this examination, their hard work, dedication and work-integrated learning experience is a true testament to these results!

Congratulations Risio students!
