I had a great experience at Community First Responder for my BLS class. The trainer Jennifer was…read morevery nice, patient, and extremely informative. They answered every question I had and made sure I understood the skills, not just memorized them. I walked in feeling discouraged because I always thought I wouldn't be good at CPR, but by the end of the class I felt confident, prepared, and honestly proud of myself. The hands‑on practice made a huge difference, and the instructor created a comfortable learning environment. If you're looking for an affordable, hands‑on BLS class with an AHA‑authorized instructor, I definitely recommend Community First Responder. Thank you -Nacoala

I have been a loyal blood donor with the Southeast Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross for…read moredecades. Starting with a local blood drive at my church, I was invited to join their Pheresis program. I became a successful participant and still look forward to helping others in this way. When I had a 'factory job' years ago, it was easy for me to set up appointments on a fairly regular basis. At that time, I was usually once a month in my visits. In the past few years, however, I have been an over-the-road trucker with a non traditional schedule, making my availability to donate unpredictable. The American Red Cross has come out with a phone app to assist in scheduling, keeping track of donations, locating local blood drives by ZIP code, etc. A major glitch occurred when I scheduled an appointment on the same day using their app. I showed up before my allotted time and waited just inside their front door for initial screening during the 2020 pandemic. I showed my appointment on the app, however, since my name didn't appear on their printed list, I was turned away. I was so sad. However, I found out that my local church was having a blood drive recently and I happily signed up. The app made it easy to schedule my appointment and everything went well. If you are looking to make a difference in people's lives, this can be a life-saving act of kindness towards those in your local community. Just roll up your sleeve and the professionals at Red Cross will do the rest. Save a life, schedule to donate today!

This school hosted an ACF Culinary Competition the whole day yesterday. The instructors did a…read moregreat job organizing and made the event a success! Student and Professional Level Competitors within Michigan and nearby state was able to experience cooking in their updated kitchen. There's a dishwashing machine in every room which makes cleaning dirty dishes Convenient. The kitchen is well lay-out to maximize space which is a good experience for students enrolled here. One gets to learn how to work within restricted area. So far the cleanest and organized kitchen I've seen. The cooler is compact but is wide enough to store a variety herbs, vegetables and meat products. Dishes and pots are well organized in racks. Saw a computer lab, vending machine, lounge area and business office. Parking is next to JC Penny. Students from this school have a positive attitude, especially Justin (friendly and helpful), competitive and have great potential in the culinary industry! Thank you Dorsey School Culinary department for your great hospitality and modern kitchen.

To Anyone Considering Dorsey:…read more I was a student at Dorsey in 2009. Tuition for my 6 month program was $5,000. Horrible instructor that did not teach us anything. She just showed up in class. I learned the studies myself from home. Fast forward. Same 6 month program is now $16,000. In 2019 I accepted an instructor position. Three years teaching experience and excellent grades and student surveys where I used to teach. My students at Dorsey are in the A-B grade range. Good instruction confirms this; happily did work from home to enhance the program. It never mattered that I was not paid. It needed to be done for my classes. I always remembered to work hard for them vs my Dorsey student experience 10 years earlier. So overall, as a former student and former instructor, do NOT attend Dorsey. So many issues that a reputable school would not place upon any student. Unprofessional and unethical. How Dorsey remains accredited?? Chapters missing. Labs missing. Equipment missing. Top priority is money. They cannot receive student government loan money (full payment to Dorsey) if not accredited. Quality education matters less. Nothing has changed in 10 years for the better. I would recommend Macomb Comm College. A student deserves a full program and organization. Those loans have to be paid back. The value for your dollar and going into such debt to attend Dorsey? Michigan Board of Education should be made aware of multiple violations. Choose wisely is my advice.
