To apply for the NDAEB Written Exam please be prepared to provide: ❑ Full legal name, valid email address, phone number and mailing address. Candidate names will appear on the NDAEB certificate as printed on the application. Use only legal official family and given names – DO NOT use nicknames. If the name appearing on academic records is different from the name as stated on the application, the candidate must upload proof of name change e.g. marriage certificate. Candidates that do not present with a legal last name may put a “dot” in the required field. Please indicate your personal email address (do not use school or work emails). ❑ Proof of completed dental assisting education (Diploma and/or Final Official Transcript) including Level I if taken separately. If a final diploma/official transcript has not yet been received, candidates must submit the Letter of Enrolment from their current dental assisting school, confirming the expected successful completion date of the program (which must be no later than the last business day prior to the date of the examination you are applying for). Letters must be on school letterhead with the signature of the designated faculty member, and must state the candidate’s full legal name, start and anticipated completion date. Candidates submitting the Letter of Enrolment with their registration are required to submit to the NDAEB a copy of their diploma and/or final signed transcript as soon as it’s been received. Documents are to be submitted in PDF format. Scanned copies of academic documents must be full-size and of high quality. Poor quality copies and/or unsecure official digital records of documents will not be accepted and will delay the application registration. In the event a student is unsuccessful in their DA program, the candidate must advise the NDAEB before the exam date so that he/she may be withdrawn from the sitting and for fees to be reimbursed. Confirmation from the program instructor is also required. All exam fees, except the non-refundable application fee, will be reimbursed if a candidate is unsuccessful in their education program. ❑ Digital photo of yourself. The photo must be in colour and taken against a plain white or light-coloured background (resembling a picture that would appear on a license or passport). Do NOT submit low resolution pictures and copies of ID/licenses/passports, as they will NOT be accepted. Additionally, candidates must not submit an altered photo. If a picture is suspected to have been altered/enhanced/filtered/ in any way, it will not be accepted.
