Study Groups have been another alternative, if you can find one in your area.

If you know whats in the Air Force manuals you'll do more than fine.

Go to Bed! sleep on your Air Force Manuel

And good luck tomorrow!

Thanks for all the wishes, They helped out. I Passed both the Comprehensive and Denture Specialty exams I took last month in SA, Tx.

Next is the Practical in Fenton. Mo on August 27.

Again wish me luck!!

Going to killed here! CDT is great and now you have a patch and certificate to prove you have completed a study course and have the ability to perform such however,does not time in service, quality of work, Dr's referrals speak louder? If the tech turns to cheap imports and shoddy work on cases cancel the CDT out? Personally, if I get a cold call for my services, I first ask: Were you referred to HDL? if the answer is no, I simply say : "not taking any new Dr's, Thank you for calling though" It means they are not paying their lab bills and I am next on their list!

thanks for the input. i didn't take any formal classes. all of my education was OJT. Took and passed all the exam, in a 4 month time frame, I needed to be a lab owner, legally...

longest 4 month of my life.
