Best Educational Institution Lansing Near Me

Mia DuBois: Please please do not fall for this scam school. They have zero resources and always claim that they will “help you find a job” or “brush up on your phlebotomy skills”, but do NOT believe them. Most of their students receive government assistance to attend the school— only some of us pay out of pocket with our hard-earned money and we’re out-numbered by far. The reason they’re still operating as a school is because the government-assisted tuition students have no incentive to report the school for theft or a waste-of-time education. Micaela is the biggest talker. I’m pretty sure she is running the fraudulent business.Edit July 2021: I periodically visit this review that I left and still can't believe I wasted $2000 on this fake school. I wonder where the money really went.

Jessica Garfield: Very professional place

Sarah Heinritz: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueGot my CNA been using it for 2 years now. Best thing I ever did for myself.

Paige Girdley: Let me start by saying, if you are considering giving DRM International Learning Center your hard-earned money, please, I beg of you, think again. If you do not read any more of this review, just know that you will regret going into business with this company, as they are exceptionally disorganized and unbelievably inconsiderate to the extent that they will ignore your phone and email correspondence, send you invalid checks, and eventually need to be taken to court. Allow me to elaborate and in doing so share with you my experience with DRM ILC, extending over the past 7-8 months. I am a recent college graduate, with medical-related aspirations. In the spring of this year, I sought opportunities for medical training in the Lansing area to complete over the summer, with hopes of obtaining a relevant certification to use in my gap year. Having worked two jobs throughout undergraduate to cover living expenses and save for post-grad endeavors, I did not take spending money lightly, and hoped that I might find an affordable course option. Hence, my going into business with DRM ILC. At first glance, they seemed a decent company with a great mission. I happily paid them their very reasonable course fee, in full, in March 2019, in order to reserve a spot in their May 2019 phlebotomy training program. No issues. As time progressed, however, I found a new employment opportunity, which seemed all the more fitting of my future goals. So, on May 2, 2019, I requested a refund from DRM ILC. And that, my friends, is where my seven-month-long rollercoaster began. Over that time course, I had numerous weekly phone and email conversations with multiple members of the DRM staff. I was at first told that my refund, as stated in the refund policy, would be available within 30 days, later told it would be available in 90 days, and eventually a time frame was altogether discarded. Staff were consistently clueless as to the status of the refund, and blame was always handed off between them. I was made to feel at multiple times throughout this process that I was annoying and worthless and that, worse yet, I would never see my $1500 again. Finally, however, on September 27, 2019, just five months after I requested my refund, I received a check in the mail from DRM. I took the business check to my local credit union with absolutely no problems. Until, some days later, I was told that the check issued by DRM ILC had, in fact, returned for insufficient funds. I immediately told DRM ILC accounting staff, who promised that this was a fluke and I would be issued a new check in no-time. Just one month later, I received a second check from DRM ILC. Again hopeful to finally see my money, I took the check to a local bank and, what do you know, the second check returned invalid. Better yet, when I tried to contact DRM ILC staff regarding this issue, I received no response. At that point, I had had enough. In November 2019, I took DRM ILC to small claims court, and (shocker) I won. The company was given a 30 day deadline, and on the final day of the 30 days, finally overnighted to me my $1500 refund (plus court fees) in the form of a cashiers check and money order. It took seven months and a court order to finally get my hard-earned money back from this disaster of a company. I can only imagine the experience I may have had if I had actually gone through with the phlebotomy course. Would the class have even taken place? Would I have learned all of the proper skills? Would I have gotten a valid certification or a placement for my clinical training? Honestly? Probably not. And, even if I had, I would likely have had to fight the staff and disastrous organization the whole way. Not what I would have wanted for my gap year, and I hope not what you want for your future - no matter your situation. You worked hard for the money you intend to pay DRM ILC. Please, please reconsider.

Karen Sprague: Waste of time and money DO NOT GO THERE

Antanica Lyons: My experience was terrific. I completed my medical assistant program in 6 weeks. The teachers were wonderful and was always supportive. They helped you if you didn’t understand and made sure before you completed the course they you understood. Even when my course was complete they still help me with finding a job or if I need anything. I recommend this to be your first choice if you have to choose a medical assistant program.

Janice Owens: The school has a great combination of hands on and classwork. The instructors are very knowledgeable and deeply care about there students. You will have the support of the entire staff. This school has changed my life for the better and I am forever greatful.

Arykah Martinez: Classes were great ALL the staff were super friendly and instructors took the time to actually help you when needed. Definitely would recommend this place for CNA or anything in that matter.

Abby Gerics: DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME. Long story extremely short (have been dealing with them for months), Phlebotomy Externships were supposed to be provided to “eligible students” after taking the class. After passing the course with over 100% they were UNABLE to secure me with any externship for the entire summer (I started the course early June), claiming they “lost connections with the hospitals” which I discovered is all bs after talking to different training facilities. The class is EXTREMELY over priced, they do not even include the price to take the CPT National Phlebotomy Exam (which most schools do), instead months later they emailed former students offering to take the exam on their site for almost 150 DOLLARS more than most facilities. The instructor was horrible (I could have honestly learned more on my own), and I could go on forever. I felt completely taken advantage of after everything, and this is still not settled btw.

Scott Schlagel: I took the CNA course last Winter and was very unsatisfied with the course and the organization's administration. The course is grossly overpriced for the quality of education you receive. The curriculum does not prepare you with the skills for the clinical portion of the CNA State exam either.The administration is not responsive nor helpful with paperwork and are not interested in helping you. They are extremely disorganized and continually say they will do things and never follow through. Please look at other options of courses before choosing DRM.

L G: Very knowledgeable instructors. Instructors make sure you understand & apply the skills correctly. The staff is friendly & pleasant. They've overcome language barriers & difficult learning disabilites. I overall enjoyed the CNA plus program which includes medication aide, hospice & palliative care, Alzheimer's & dementia, nursing assistant, & phlebotomy. Thanks DRM for everything.

SiMar Directories: DRM in Lansing Mi is a wonderful school to attend for an education in the healthcare field, including CNA and Phlebotomy classes. Professional, helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors. Classes taught in a friendly, low stress environment. Highly recommend!

Lamar Swanson: My fiance transferred to Ross from a previous school where she was on the presidents list. Now she is getting a C in oneshe class because she was marked down with a 0 for a assignment that was turned in. Not only hit with a 0 but she was marked down a grade for not going above and beyond. If you She was all excited for doing the school's mandatory requirements. You get you grade and that's that; when and if you go above and beyond you get extra credit not penalized for not doing. There's no live Lectures no real communication. She was all excited about school and a new life she was trying to create and now she wants to quit and throw in the towel!!! I thought school was supposed to encourage bright students, I thought school was supposed to nurture higher learning.... not at Ross

Martina Hoffman: I was told I’d be enrolled in a course and become a certified phlebotomist by the end which was a lie. I also joined when I was 18 weeks pregnant and was told I’d have maternity leave and once I got to about 35-36 weeks pregnant I was told if I was off for more than 7 days I would be dropped from the course.

Mrs. Judy: I called about a month ago to get info and set up appt with them to speak with an advisor. Cancelled that appt, and now for several weeks,Olivia and Sasha have been calling me EVERY DAY...sometimes twice a day. Enough is enough.

Carmen Portalatin: Awesome School

Nathan Worley: Starting at Ross was a excellent jump start to my professional career and I'm forever thankful for that!

Samantha Farmer: I love Ross. Im only in my second mod but im learning alot. My instructor is the best. She explains things in a way that even i understand. Its alot of work really fast. And your learning alot FAST. There's some drama with other students but i just stay outta it. Im there for one thing and not that. But it's a good school, DA program is Awesome.

Amber Piotrowicz: Not only does Ross maintain a professional manner in not only the classroom, but the entire building... They have taught me more than plenty and helped get my career moving towards development and success!!

Tai Franklin: Great staff

Katherine Willson: The instructors and staff are exceptional and teach above and beyond. Also, if you can get past the drama of classmates (which really wasn't all too bad...just annoying) this is an amazing opportunity where you'll learn a lot and be on the road for success.

Marlette Malone: I don't like pushy people and I don't like to be questioned as if I am a child. A lady called me from Ross yesterday. For 1 she couldn't answer any of my questions. It was like her main concern was to get me in there so she can get the $$$$$ and that's it. Then she wants to get me into the school and talk to someone yesterday. I tell her that won't be convenient for me so she has the nerve to ask me what is stopping me from coming in? The nerve of some people. So I hung up on her and blocked her.I'm not a child and I will not be questioned and talked to as if I am a child. If I tell you that's not a good time leave it at that and find another time that is. So because of her lack of professionalism I will look somewhere else for school.

Alexandra Brown: Dedicated staff who wants you to succeed

Bayley Steel: Ross has great opportunities for all student and the atmosphere at school is great.

Brianna Vinson: Highly recommend this program. The instructors are really great working with us, and are extremely helpful. The program goes by really fast but it definitely worth your while.

Jessica Thompson: Ross is a great place to learn. I am in the Medical Assistant program and I am confident I will be able to enter into a position quickly and with confidence in my abilities, because of the training and support I have had with my instructors and career services.

Christina Ferris: I learned so much and was very happy with the program. The only glitch was the kindles, but I am sure that once all the bugs are worked out it will be great!

Kristen Kennedy: Ross is one the best schools I have been to.

Melinda Hayes: I have only been at Ross for a short time but I am so pleased with everything! All of the staff is very welcoming and friendly. I couldn't be more grateful for my wonderful teachers! They are kind, helpful and sincere. I really love it here and am so glad I decided to make the life changing decision to improve myself at Ross Medical! #EMIBOA #RossMedical #LoveMyLife

Alexis Dixon: I don't agree with some of the facilities rules and standards. I also have complications with some of the staff members at the specific location I am at, I will never recommend this place to anybody. There main goal isn't for you to succeed and flourish in the field that would you would like to be in. They will place you at any place that will take you. I have never felt so disrespected in my life. I will be taking all my concerns up with the head director to hopefully make a difference for future students.

Breanna Vannortwick: This is a great school to go to if your committed to the Medical Field.

Adrianna Miller: This is a great school to attend. If you are committed to hard work and follow through on your classes you will be sure to succeed.

Nichole Doyle: I attend best thing I could do with my life get a higher education

Cynthia Knight: My friend loved this college.

Justin Garcia: Easily located

Tyler Coleman: The practical electricity class needs to be looked into. I learned a lot from it but the instructors need to get it together. I showed up for 13 lectures and 12 of them they didn't show up. Yes 12 lectures I drove 1 hour for to end up watching videos. These videos I drove one hour for when I could've did that on my home computer! Gas money, time, and tuition paid for videos! Dave the main instructor, I've talked to him once and that was for orientation. Class itself does not need organization the teachers do! Get them off their butt and have them teach the class their getting paid for.
