I completed my Medical Assistant program at this location. I had a good experience overall I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Matthew the career advisor director he went over and beyond helping me with finding a clinical site, to words of encouragement and guidance throughout the whole process he truly cares about the students and helping us find good jobs after completing our program I will forever be grateful for that if it was not for Matthew I don’t know how I would have completed my clinical he gave me that push and motivation working and being a mom while trying to complete a program is not easy having the right staff and teachers you can count on will always be a plus I definitely recommend this location they are the best !

My experience in the esthetics program was mixed. For the first seven months, I felt that my class was not receiving the education and guidance we needed. We had very limited hands-on practice, rarely worked with clients, and often felt left to figure things out on our own. When we did perform services, there was little supervision or feedback to ensure we were using proper techniques and procedures. Many of us expressed our concerns to both our instructor and the school’s administration, hoping for support and improvements. Unfortunately, we never felt that our concerns were addressed, and the situation remained unchanged. Everything changed when we received a new instructor about eight months into the program. ms. amal was knowledgeable, organized, supportive, and genuinely invested in our success. In a short amount of time, she helped us build the confidence, skills, and professionalism that had been missing earlier in the program. She pushed us to meet higher standards and made sure we understood both the practical and theoretical aspects of esthetics. I can honestly say that Ms. Amal is the reason I felt prepared for and ultimately passed my state board exam. While I am grateful for the education I received in the end, I believe the program would benefit greatly from more instruction and better responsiveness to student concerns from the beginning. Overall, i did enjoy this school. At the end of the day it was an affordable program and if there is a way to request Ms. Amal I cannot recommend her enough!

My experience in the Dorsey RN program has been truly rewarding. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in student success. The hands‑on clinical training helped me build confidence, and the supportive environment made it easy to stay motivated. I’m grateful for the growth, guidance, and encouragement I’ve received throughout my journey.
