Professional Learning Services was THE BEST way for me to reinstate my Dental Hygiene License in Colorado. I submitted the certificate and other supporting documents to the Colorado Dental Board and was approved for an active license! Definitely a very positive & purposeful experience with Joyce Turcotte and her team! Outstanding results from my investment in Professional Learning Services!

The dental hygiene remediation program is a necessary tool for achieving the desired results on the exam and for acquiring knowledge and skills for future practice. I recommend it to all international dentists, even those who are already licensed. It's a great way to refresh your knowledge and hone your skills. Also note that the entire staff of teachers are wonderful and very qualified to teach you everything you need. Love this course.

My experience with the remedial course was truly a total success.
I have to admit that failing my exam was tough—it really hit me—but now I can say it was one of the best things that could’ve happened. It gave me the opportunity to go through this incredible and transformative experience.
Even with my limited English, I always felt supported. The entire team of instructors were not only highly professional but also kind, patient, and passionate about teaching. Their knowledge and techniques made a huge difference in my preparation.
I learned something valuable from each instructor. They didn’t just help me pass the exam—they helped me build confidence and believe in myself. Today, I’m proud to say that I passed, and I’m more certain than ever that I will become an excellent dental hygienist.
Endless thanks to the entire team for your dedication, guidance, and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who needs real, effective support to reach their goals.

The PLS Professional Learning Services program exceeded my expectations .The curriculum struck the perfect balance between theory and hands-on application, equipping me with practical skills I could immediately implement in my practice.
The facilities were outstanding ,modern classrooms, a fully equipped simulation lab, and a clinical space that mirrored real-world environments. The instructors were not only experts in their fields but also exceptional mentors, dedicated to ensuring every participant mastered the techniques.
What set PLS apart was their focus on evidence-based practice and patient-centered care. Whether it’s refining foundational skills, this program is a must for any hygienist committed to excellence.
I left feeling more confident, competent, and inspired
Thank you, PLS
Thank you Joyce, Barbara, Claudia, Melanie

Taking the dental hygiene remediation course with Professional Learning Services LLC was one of the best decisions I made in my professional development. The instructors were not only highly qualified, but also incredibly patient and dedicated—especially with students like me, whose English was not strong.
Despite the language barrier, they took the time to make sure I understood every concept, procedure, and important detail in the curriculum. They adapted to my learning pace and found clear, accessible ways to explain the material. I never felt alone in the process; on the contrary, I truly felt they cared about my success.
Thanks to this course, I not only strengthened my clinical knowledge but also gained the confidence to move forward with my career in the United States. I highly recommend it, especially to internationally trained professionals who need solid and compassionate support during their professional transition.

It warms my heart to share just how transformative the remediation class for the dental hygiene program has been for me. From the moment I walked in, I was met with an atmosphere of unwavering support and a genuine commitment to my success. This wasn't just a review of material; it was a carefully crafted experience designed to rebuild confidence and solidify understanding in a way that truly resonated.
The instructors were nothing short of exceptional. Their deep knowledge of the subject matter was evident, but even more impactful was their ability to break down complex concepts into manageable and digestible pieces. They fostered an environment where asking questions was not only encouraged but celebrated, and they patiently addressed each concern with clarity and insightful explanations. Their dedication extended beyond the scheduled class time, offering extra help and resources that proved invaluable.
What truly set this remediation class apart was the personalized attention. It felt like the instructors took the time to understand my specific areas of struggle and tailored their approach accordingly. The use of varied teaching methods – from engaging discussions and hands-on activities to clear visual aids – catered to different learning styles and ensured that the information truly stuck. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on practical application, which helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical scenarios.
Beyond the academic reinforcement, this class also provided a much-needed boost to my confidence. The positive and encouraging environment helped me overcome feelings of doubt and approach the material with renewed enthusiasm. I left each session feeling more prepared, more knowledgeable, and, most importantly, more capable.
This remediation class was not just a second chance; it was an opportunity to build a stronger foundation and emerge as a more competent and confident future dental hygienist. I am immensely grateful for the dedication of the instructors and the thoughtful design of the program. It has made an indelible positive impact on my educational journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking to strengthen their understanding and skills within the dental hygiene program. Thank you for providing such an invaluable resource! I appreciate all of you!

As overwhelmed one can be trying to obtain their dental hygiene license, Joyce and Mark Turcotte made this mandatory class a very positive experience. The webinars were exceptional, and new products and technology were taught so that we were well informed. The instructors provided were very hands on, and knowledgeable. Thank you Joyce for all your help in my personal journey. If you are in the need for continuing education courses, this organization is exceptional.

This course is excellent for enhancing hygiene skills. The instructors are not only dedicated and knowledgeable but also bring a wealth of experience to their teaching. They create an engaging learning environment that encourages questions and discussions. The hands-on approach and real-world applications of the material made the lessons particularly impactful. I feel much more confident in my skills now. I highly recommend this course—100%!

Después de tantos años sin ejercer, necesitaba saber por dónde empezar y cómo reincorporarme al mundo laboral; ¡estoy tan contenta de haber encontrado PLS! La profesionalidad, la comunicación y la atención individual son inigualables. Sé que este curso me dio la confianza que necesitaba para el examen WREB, así como las herramientas que ahora puedo tomar en mi carrera. Si usted es un higienista dental que busca reingresar a la carrera, ¡póngase en contacto con Joyce! Ella te ayudará a guiarte. ¡Gracias a todo el equipo de PLS!

Excelente experiencia con Joyce y Mark de PLS. Ella hizo que este programa fuera extremadamente factible para que yo pudiera participar virtualmente. Aprendí muchas cosas nuevas incluso después de 25 años de experiencia. Fantástica experiencia con los cursos en línea y con la clase clínica de actualización también. Muchas gracias Joyce por ser tan agradable para trabajar y hacer esto tan complaciente para mí.

La Sra. Joyce es una profesora increíble. Ella te da toda su atención y responde a todas las preguntas con paciencia. Tuve una gran experiencia, especialmente después de estar fuera de la industria, este es un muy buen curso de regreso. No sólo me ayudó a entender las técnicas actuales, sino que también me levantó la moral. Me siento afortunada de haberla encontrado, gracias Sra. Joyce 🙂 .
