Skip the form. Talk to Atticus.
Atticus is our AI admissions advisor. It knows every program, every deadline, and every next step — and it’s available right now. Tell it where you are, and it’ll help you figure out where to go.
Hi — I'm Atticus, the admissions advisor for Florida Institute of Dental Assisting. I can help you figure out which path fits — the Entry Level Dental Assisting diploma program (for new students) or one of our Professional Development courses (EFDA, Radiography). To start: are you currently working as a dental assistant in a Florida dental office?
What people ask Atticus first.
Is this actually an AI?
Yes — Atticus is a real AI admissions advisor built on Claude. It answers questions, helps you compare programs, and hands off to a huma FIDA advisor when you’re ready to enroll.
Do I have to decide anything right now?
No. You can talk to Atticus, explore programs, and walk away. There’s no pressure and no commitment.
Can I talk to a real person instead?
Absolutely. Submit a ticket and a FIDA staff member will follow up. Most people find Atticus faster for initial questions, though.
Ready when you are.
Atticus is standing by. Start the conversation whenever it works for you.
