Dorse school im Madison Heights, is a joke , the interview process for the lpn program is a joke, I'm a medical assistant already I hade good reference and a paper everything they need and still got denied because of the staff was intimated by me and all my previous knowledge in the medical field, on of the interview names Stephanie didn't like me Because I'm attractive aND put together, I'm not here to make friends I just want to complete the program . I say no ... to that school is can't believe theyou really want u to jump thru hoops to get in that school, I'm paying and meet the qualifications, but got denied because one person doesn't like me , they wanted me to apologize because I said red Robin's wasn't expensive ,like what ,I'm just want to learn and keep it moving .
If you're planning on going to Wayne for the Hvac program save your money! It's a complete joke. I feel scammed.. I did not learn anything. Please beware!!
The Roseville Campus Cosmetology program is a big waste of time the director and I use that word lightly is a enabler she hired a teacher that doesn't know how to teach the senior class just the basics and when you complain nothing gets done and I feel it's a waste of time and money I have to pay back oh and threatens to drop you if you call corporal on them it's very unprofessional and unorganized. Don't waste your time signing up its a joke and they lie to you when you sign up please don't be fooled nor suckered in to come to this drama filled program because it's a big joke and Corporal needs to intervene like yesterday.
DO NOT ATTEND. FRAUDULENT PRACTICES. DON'T SPEND $19,000.00 HERE!, when you can go to a community college where credits will transfer. The teacher turnover is horrible and everyone cheats and NOBODY CARES!!
This school was horrible, I asked for help on several occasions and was told yes we'll else you but on the days I could stay they couldn't help. I also worked at night. I can't believe that the teacher ms Bertrand allowed her students to belittle students and kick teammates off of teams when they had done Thier work and allowed other classmates take credit for work that wasn't theres. I quit because of the unfairness that was done to me and I believe I should get my money back. Also Mr clemens who was another teacher there passing his students off with D's when there grades clearly were F's .the back stabbings were ridiculous as well as students getting teachers fired and the drama, do I believe ms Bertrand should be fired..? No but she should be made to apologize for letting 2 other students cheat and get credit for my work .
this school is a joke, their tuition fees are very expensive, and the courses you take are not even transferrable to other college. it cost me too much to get the stupid pharmacy technician career training and then when you get a job in retail pharmacy you're paid only a little over than minimum wage. such a big joke. all they want is get the money from financial aid and you have to pay back your student loan while making about $8 per hour.
Currently Dorsey is the only reputable school left in Michigan. Let their longevity speak for itself. People think when they say "assistance " it means given. They help those who are serious and committed to doing their best not who wants to do just enough to get buy...it's an accelerated fast paced program. My experience has been life changing!
The school sucks. The "teachers" have no idea what they're doing. It's cheaper to go to macomb. You'll get no education here.
Roseville, MI.
Dorsey school is finincial suicide. Programs are insanely expensive for just certificate.Instuctors have very limited education to be qualified teach. Biggest mistake of my life going there just 1 semester now owe over $4000!!!!! (For less 5 wks). Do not waste your time at this school. I wish someone would have warned me.
I don't know about the other campuses but the Lansing is pretty legit. I actually feel like my instructors care about me here. I hadn't been back to school in a long time so studying was hard at first. One of my instructors stayed after class every day until I got better study habits. I wish they did more fun things like student events and stuff though. And as far as jobs, a few friends went though Dorsey here and they seem pretty happy with their new jobs.
Dorsey Roseville is the worst school .... Alot of the teachers shouldn't b aloud to teach AT ALL IVE BEE. SCREWED WITH NO GREASE IJS
Dorsey Schools financial dept are liars. Some of the instructors are a joke. If you have an issue with a student or an instructor and you tried to bring it to someones attention, they tell you to suck it up and be a team player. I graduated from Dorsey in Saginaw, Mi, please don't go there. When I and some of the other students need help with school work, we were told to fill out a tutoring form and someone will get back with you and no one does. Good luck on getting a job, when an employer finds out that you went to Dorsey they tell you oh we're considering other candidates.
southgate mi campus.. If I can save anyone from going to this school I would be saving them money, time, & stress. The teachers sit back, watch the clock, & basicly babysit the students. There is no authority in the building. They change their attendance rules & policy's like you would use tissue with a bad cold. They are in business to make money & not to provide education. Half the classes don't have the supplies needed so we pretend to do procedures when the teachers decide to teach. Please stay away. Think twice! Please do your research. Talk to current students first & listen to their storys. Do not talk to the money hungry unorganized staff. Go to a better school even if the programs longer. It would be worth it I promise you! They will say anything to get you in the door and have you sign that student loan. Please, don't make the same mastake. I wish I had made a better educational choice. I hope I help someone and save them from this experience!
I was trying to get in to Lansing community college since the summer. I could not get my finical aid to help me do to some bs back in the day. I live in Lansing I have talked to people that work at Dorsey, but what I really want to know is do people really find jobs after Dorsey?
I went to Dorsey of Saginaw, PLEASE DON'T GO THERE, YOU WILL GET DISCOURAGE. I do have to admit there was two good instructors, but they are no longer there. People are dropping out like crazy, staff is leaving. If you have a problem they ignore it. Finacial aid dept is a joke, they tell you that you will be some money back and you don't, they tell you excuses on why your not getting money back. I had some good classmates and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have graduated.......
I would not take a dog walking class from this school!!
Dorsey Roseville is not the place you want to go if you are looking for a great education!!
THEY DONT HAVE GOOD TEACHER
I graduated from the PCT program Roseville campus in 2007.. I only make 11 dollars and I've run out of deferments on my 8000$ student loan. It is a bunch of lies and bs my computer class had three different programs in it I had good teachers though one was fired after she had told students that they were wasting their money.. My car was stole and my books were in it I had to come up with the money to buy new books. I meet a lot of people that I still keep in touch with now and we all either work at group homes or private duty making crumbs and then the company for your loan is always haressing you bout when and how you can pay back the loan. You dont make enough to pay bills.. Dorsey is a joke and that's coming from a graduate that had a 4 and 2 year old and was 6 months pregnant when I went to my crappy externship at Sinai Grace. I graduated with a 4.0 and I give credit to myself and my sister.
I went to dorsey to talk to the counselers about enrolling in there PCT program, when i arrived, everyone was very friendly. Well all the consulers did was throw in your face that your gonna get a lap top, small classes, and etc. Well I enroll and started my first classes was Medical term and a computer class to teach me how to use microsoft word!
My gall bladder exploded and I was out of schoool for 4 days and when i returned, i was swammped with homework and failed that class because I missed to many hours. Then my teacher said I didnt even do my essay paper and gave me a 0! All my med term teacher did was push play the TV and thats it!!! She didnt interact with her students at ALL! We even caught her falling alseep during some of our med term videos we had to watch!! The teachers are not qualified at all! The administration is a joke! They didnt even excuse my absentces for being in the hospital.
Do your self a favor... DONT GO TO DORSEY! Dorsey is a joke. All they care about is getting your money and thats about it.
To top it all off i was promised small classes. Well my current computer class is over 28 people. So many people we have to split the class off into a different room!
Save yourself the money and drama go to a community college or a university!
I graduated from Dorsey for dialysis Tech. When I signed they made me feel like they had it all together yet when I finished they did not have a dialysis site for extership for all of the students so most of us went out as pct's. Now, mind you they knew you could not take your dialysis certification without a dialysis externship. I feel scammed and hurt a whole year of sacrifice for nothing. Oh don't let me forget the tuiton is over $17,000 dollars. I will also be writing to congress. It is not right how can you pay back an loan with no job. Most employers want experience, now I can not even get my certification to help me get in the door. People please do not rush do your research before signing your life away!
