PTC John Ness Memorial Education Grant



Background

Productivity Training Center (PTC), teaches dental technician courses that use proven learning systems to help new and existing technicians quickly improve their technical ability. These courses are unique as technicians not only increase their productivity and quality of work, but they also leave with reference materials and tools to reinforce what they have learned.

Grant Overview

Recognizing the need for increased accessibility to fundamental education in dental laboratory technology, PTC and the Foundation for Dental Laboratory Technology have partnered to bring you The PTC John Ness Memorial Education Grant.

The PTC John Ness Memorial Education Grant will award two recipients a PTC Ness Academy Hands on Course at no charge. The charge for such a course would typically retail for $3,000; however, due to the generosity of PTC, the recipient of this grant will have their tuition fee waived. All course information and dates can be found by CLICKING HERE.
