Norfolk Dental Assistant School

Empowering the Next Generation of Norfolk Dental Assistants

Norfolk Dental Assistant School is a partnership between Zollege and local dental offices built to serve the community with affordable, in-person education.

Zollege was founded in 2010 as Vandelay Education by Thomas Ince, a dentist who found it difficult to find properly trained dental assistants to hire. He discovered they were often inadequately trained and in debt upwards of $20,000 due to costly traditional training programs.

As a dentist, Dr Ince understood the importance of hands-on training for dental assistants to get the skills needed to provide quality patient care. He created an affordable, accelerated training program that has helped over 20,000 students become successful dental assistants.

Success in Healthcare Begins at Norfolk Dental Assistant School

Dr Ince’s brother, Ryan Ince, is a physician who had a similar challenge. He found that medical assistants were often poorly trained and also burdened with at least $20,000 of debt.

Based on the success of the dental assistant program, the Ince brothers collaborated to create an efficient, affordable medical assistant program with hands-on training. This program has helped over 5,000 students graduate debt-free and find success in careers as medical assistants!
