23 Student Reviews of Berkeley College : Dover

  • Do Not Go To This School ! I attended this school for a short time it was a complete disappointment. First they lie to get me in they told me their won’t be more than 12 students per class I had classes with 25 students. I was also told they would provide books all the books are in the blackboard which was blocked a bunch of times. I had to go to the library and call to unlocked it which took forever it made me miss class so I was behind. I had a teacher that dint know anything every time I ask him for help he would ask a student for help the students had to help each other! I ask him u don’t how to do this ? And he said no that’s why I’m nervous. I had another teacher that look like a crack head. She was hating on me the minute she saw me I don’t mess with anybody. But she kept trying to embarrassed me in class non stop making rude comments tours me. I had another teacher that kept taking smoke breaks. I realize this school is a joke so stop going and know they want to charge me a arm and a leg. I attended for 2 weeks but their charging me for 3 weeks.

  • This school is alright. I liked some professors and the classes were alright. I liked the hands on experience. I was disappointed because I finished school six months ago and I still haven’t found a job yet. They made a lot promises that career services would help you. I understand that you have to keep in contact with them but when you call them all you get is a voicemail and they never call you back. Just disappointing.

  • Please DO NOT attend this college. I am a graduate of the PN program and it has been a terrible experience from start to finish. Completely unprofessional/unorganized, I could go on and on. There were three great Professors out of a dozen, not a good ratio. Having been a previous college graduate, attending this school was of no comparison. Any real college over Berkeley Dover hands down. Not one of the offices ever have a ‘real’ person answer the phone so leaving message after message is the norm, with rarely ever a call back. Hugely disappointing as far as education is concerned and highly frustrating trying to work with, ask questions of, or deal with any administration department. DO NOT ATTEND THIS SCHOOL. I could write a book about the difficulties and I passed the program. Six months later and they still have me down as a ‘bad debt’ account even though the program was paid in full by federal loans. Highly NOT recommended.

  • I DONT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO MY WORST EMEMY!

    This school really screwed me and other students, there was a lot of false promises. When i went to apply to the school i was in the admissions department promised a lot of stuff, meaning good education, good equipment, etc. I was really worried about loans i didn’t want to get into debt so i didnt know what to do and i was really new to going to a tech school or college. But the person at admissions insisted that this was a really good school, the graduates get great jobs with good pay and insisted that i would have a job wit good pay to pay the loans off. I went for the IT program, let me tell you it was a waste of time, i regret going to this school so much. The teachers didnt teach good at all, Everyone was struggling in my class and the teachers just passed everyone. My ex classmates and complained everyday saying we arent learning what we are suppose to, the teacher’s arent teaching good, the equipment we used meaning the computers were totally outdated and some didnt even work. My ex classmates and i went to the deans everyday complaining nothing was done about it and we were told to go for tutoring. Why go for tutoring if im suppose to be learning in class? I was told that i can take the classes over for free, NO! i dont even want to do computers anymore this school made me lose interest. Also what im going to get the same teachers that couldnt teach the class again? Now i am stuck with 20k loans and probably more now because of the interest rate. I really wish i didnt go to this school it was the biggest mistake of my life!

  • When I started this semester I realized they stretched the truth a bit. They told me they’d have small classes when I asked about class sizes when I’m in classes of up to 25+ students. Student parking is horrible I leave at 6 30 for my 8 o clock class because the parking lot fits 35 cars for a school and I live 20 minutes away. The first day of school I got a parking ticket from using a pay lot that I didn’t know was a pay lot. It’s either get there earlier than everyone else, pay 3 dollars for parking or park in 2 hour parking, take your chances, and move your car every break period or the nazi meter maids will fine you. The classes are absolutely rushed. MOA class goes through 2 chapters a day and the homework is just learning the chapters and doing bookwork and the day its all due you relearn the chapter and if you’re one of those people who can just learn it one way then you’re fucked. Blackboard, which is the student/teacher online interface where you check updates, assignments, etc. sometimes doesn’t work. Either teachers say they put stuff up and it’s not there or it’s there and it won’t activate or open and it’s not fixed until the night before or the day of the assignment is due. The professors themselves aren’t too bad. But some will not give a damn what you do or what happens to you because they can say theyve done it once so anyone can do it and turn out fine. I honestly think they’re just after you’re money from what I’ve been seeing here. The transfer credits only go to Berkley (go figure). I really think I made a mistake going here.

  • I am a graduate of OSM (Office Systems Managagement) here at Dover Business College. This course was a one year program that included courses such as Microsoft Applications, Business Management, Oral Communications, Web Design and Administrative Technologies to name a few. I came into this school without any knowledge of the Microsoft applications and I am proud to say that I have earned all my Microsoft certifications. I am now a Microsoft Specialist. The courses here provided me with background information and hands on experience to get me started in today’s world.

  • Today as for September 12 of 2012, I am finally a graduate of Dover Business College. For the past year , i learned that I will always be looking forward to better opportunities, better life, better education, making a better salary, you name it. Then I realized that Dover Business College was the place to be.

    My father said to me that I need to choose to either become a simple person or a successful leader. It made me see life in a different way. I learned that the more you stress the more you want to become better, the more you want to fight for your dreams the more you are a step ahead to becoming successful.

    In past year at Dover Business College I learned that We are made to be followers or leaders. If you’re a follower, be sure you do an outstanding work, to understand as much as possible… If you are a leader, make sure the follower becomes a leader…. There are always reasons to be better, our families, friends and our love ones, you name it. You make your own decisions to make it better and only if you make this happen, then “you will keep moving forward”

    The techniques that I learned at Dover Business College made me realized that in the past year I learned that becoming a leader is not always being or knowing everything … its about asking for help, that the reason to be positive is asking for help. Therefore … Being smart doesn’t have to be knowing everything but just starting by asking … For help

  • DBC was also a big joke for me. I am now enrolled in the nursing program at CCM. Thats a real school and i can now see the difference between the two. I graduated in September 2010 Surgical Tech program. Today is 7/23/12 and i just got a CST job in a hospital WITHOUT DBC help. They did place me in the bronx at a surgical center tho. It didnt work out due to the 90 minute commute with very mild traffic. I do not recommend DBC to anyone and tell peopple of my experience there. Very disorganized, untrained, and callous staff. Thanks for nothing!

  • The school is a joke. My student teacher in high school when I was sophomore ended up working for dbc and saw me at my schools college fair. He told me of how dbc was a great school and how they will help me, such a lie. The first semester was ok, after that the teachers were a joke. One of them didnt know the material. The student had to pretty much teach her how to do what the book says to do. They also had us do certification test on excel, access and powerpoint. I passed all of them but I only got one of the certifications in the mail so now i have no proof that i am certified in the other two. I dropped out of the school because the school is a joke. The school is located in a corner next to a salon and next to a mexican resturant. The school is garbage and they should take the building down. Now i owe 9k on student loans. Thankfully i could postpone 6k of it but now i got a letter from a collection agency saying i have to pay 3k, most likely dbc went to charge them, now i gotta call and see if I can suspend the 3k too since im starting county soon. Please dont go to that dump of a school, its garbage.

  • Cont..This school is a joke. Some of the daytime students do not take their education seriously, so the students who do value their education are forced to learn as if you are not in college.

  • This school lacks professionalism and has a dress code that is useless. The school calls students if their absent for one day because they say they want the students to succeed, but it is really because if your absent for three consecutive days financial aid won’t pay them. I have only had three teachers that were actually good at teaching and one left. You can only transfer the credits to Berkeley College because it is their sister school. If you do not have to attend this school, please do not, it is not worth the time or money.

  • I attended Dover Business College from 06/29/2011 to 06/22/2012 and I could not wait to finish. Some of the teachers treated some of the students as if they were still in high school. There were only three teachers that were actually good at teaching. The admissions representatives will say anything to get students to attend, but the school is not what they say. I did not get a job as told; a placement staff called me about a job the day I finished, and after that, I have not heard from him yet. In addition, not to mention this school is a for-profit organization.

  • I attended from Sept 2010 to Sept 2011. The teachers were excellent and they taught me alot. I was told they had 89-90% job placement. They have done nothing to find me a job. We were led to believe they worked with companies and had positions available when we finished – NOT TRUE!!! I can not even get them to call me back now. I have had the opportunity to meet quite a few people who attended in the past few years and not one of them even had a job interview through DBC. I would ask Dover to show me one person who has a job they placed them in….

  • Like most of the previous reviews already submitted, it is sad to say that Dover Business College is a joke. In addition to a poor management team, a large number of the instructors lack professional and communication skills. I too was duped on my initial visit with overwhelming information and the urgency to sign up immediately due to the next session starting soon. I did not have enough time to research the organization or I would have gone elsewhere for my education. I was shocked to find out after my third semester that through NJ Unemployment I could have taken a 12 week course through the Career Development Center and for about 2/3 of the cost. The same exact exam through the NHA is administered to receive your so called certification. So if you are interested in pursing a career in Healthcare, IT or Business Administration, seek out your local community college or a four year college/university and do not waste your time or money on DCB.

  • i attended dbc from jan 2010 – dec 2010 in the med asst program. This school is the most unorganized and backwards place I know. Most of the teachers don’t know their schedule, can’t teach the classes, and there is so much confusion in the administration it’s ridiculous. i was told i had a year to take the phlebotomy exam and now that i am trying to schedule it, the passcode i was given has expired. i called the school and was transferred to a few of the wrong ppl before being transfered to someone who is now telling me i have to come in person to the school and register with them. he just called me and when i called back the receptionist wasn’t aware that anyone by that name worked there; so i was transferred to the asst dean who is a moron with an attitude problem. she knows nothing about the protocol for getting this phlebotomy exam handled and is rude as hell telling me the guy i’m looking for is in class although he called me a few seconds ago literally. THIS IS THE WORST PLACE TO INVEST YOUR MONEY – DEFINITELY A LOSING INVESTMENT!!!

  • I would not recommend DBC to anyone. I am a single mom, and signed up to take a course in Medical Billing to advance myself and make a better living to support myself an my child. They made it seem so easy when I registered, they did everything they could to seal the deal. It turns out, they are the most difficult people to work with from getting the proper books right down to getting tutoring help. They would not let me return do to my difficulties in two classes and my low grade in them and tried to say that financial aid would not let me continue because of the grades. I offered to set up payment plan and pay them as I finished my last two semesters, and they said no, but, they are chasing me for $9000.00 in penalty fees for not completing the course, and I have a $7000 student loan because the government already paid them the first two semesters. So, needless to say, since I never got to finish, I can only pay the student loan, and they have pushed me to bankruptcy with the penalty fee they are trying to collect. I would not recomment DOVER BUSINESS COLLEGE to anyone

  • I did not get an invitation to my own graduation and was unaware that there was even another ceremony in addition to the pinning one in September which I attended but they failed to call my name because they didn’t put it on the list -I am an honor student for crying out loud!!! Thank you Dover’s for your amazing organizational skills; I have missed my own graduation thanks to your unprofessional staff…

    I loved most of my instructors and enjoyed most of the courses but the administration needs more experienced staff. And they need more connections when it comes to job placement. Sterile Processing Tech DOES NOT have 100% job placement, that is a lie. I know students from my graduating class that are still waiting to be placed.

    In my opinion, invest in a 4 year university education and make sure you do your internships so you don’t end up like most students; jobless and unhappy. I am lucky I met somebody with 7 years of experience at my job who recommended me to a good hospital.

  • I went to DBC back in the mid 1990’s to learn IT, Computer Operations specifically, and the so-called “class” that I had consisted of 3 students myself and two girls.

    The instructor we had spent most of the class day pining away about some stripper that he thought was his “girlfriend” and would cry on the shoulders of the two girls that I shared the class with. The training was absolutely terrible and the technology even at that time was obsolete and of late 1960’s vintage.

    The lifetime job placement was even worse and if I remember correctly the 1st job placement officer was let go because she was spending all of her time searching for a better gig for herself.

    After I graduated with a 3.8 GPA, they found me an IT job working in a warehouse for $10.00 an hour that wasn’t even IT but I was able to use it as a launch point to get to where I am, an IT Manager whos is also a professional in my field.

    As for the two girls, one wound up a housekeeper, and the other working in a mall somewhere. The instructor was later let go due to his personal issues.

    I even remember a year or two after graduating calling the school to use the lifetime job placement services and was told since the course was no longer offered, they no longer can help you find any placement.

    Although I used this 20K experience (mostly paid for by the GI Bill) as a stepping stone and later went back to Community College and obtained a degree, I now think that all of these so-called “tech schools” are pretty much nothing but legal scams preying on the naive and the desperate who are looking for hope and a better life for themselves but since they lack the knowlege or the support network to get there, they seek a short cut. If you want to learn something, go to Community College, in the end, you’ll fare much better.

  • Dover Business COllege will promise you the moon to get you to enroll They promise to work with the students Schedules. Many girls are single parents working full time jobs and going to school at night to better themselves. The college requires a 180 hour internship, and doing this during the day is not an option for many students If this is the case DONT SIGN UP They will give you a hard time when it comes to doing this internship
