CertificationALD Recognized Course ProvidersThe Academy of Laser Dentistry initially launched the process for renewal and recognition of dental laser course providers in October 1999. This process follows the standards of education set forth in the Curriculum Guidelines and Standards for Dental Laser Education. In March 2002, June 2004, and January 2007 the Education Committee of the Academy revised the Procedure for Renewal and Recognition of Dental Laser Education Providers and Teaching Faculty to provide current educational standards for the safe and effective uses of dental lasers. This review of course materials is important to insure that the teaching faculty in a Standard Course meet the educational goals of the Guidelines, since successful completion of a Standard Course defines the minimum standard of proficiency for dental practitioners to use lasers. Moreover, only a certificate from an Academy-recognized Standard Proficiency Course can be used to make application for the Advanced Proficiency examination. An applicant who has taken a non-recognized course would not be accepted. Course providers should submit their course documentation directly to the Academy for review by the Education and Research Committee. The committee reviews the submission and makes one of two determinations: Recognized and Not Recognized.
