The school has all the knowledge required to become successful in the field, and the staff does an amazing job instilling that knowledge into students. The best part about the school is Simone, the program director. She is the absolute hardest worker I know, while also being the one who cares the most for the students. As a student, even if you do not have many interactions with her, she still knows who you are and she works hard for you, especially in the background where all the work that she does is even more thankless. I do not understand how she can accomplish everything that she does, but my only explanation is that she must have more than the 24 hours in a day that the rest of us have.

We kept getting passed between different directors and hearing promises that never got followed through. On top of that, they don't even have proper clinical sites set up. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I had such a great experience with my admissions advisor, Andrea Nunez…read more Going into the process, I felt pretty overwhelmed with everything that needed to get done, but she made it feel so much more manageable. She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and was always patient and kind whenever I had questions. What really stood out to me was how supportive she was throughout the whole process. She checked in regularly, followed up when needed, and made sure I stayed on track, in a way that felt encouraging, not stressful. Overall, she made the entire admissions experience feel a lot less intimidating and something I could actually handle. I'm really grateful for her help getting started at WCU.

As a new-grad RN trying…read moreto find my first job, I honestly didn't know where to start, but Alla was there for me the whole way, throughout nursing school as well. She helped me apply to multiple hospitals, fixed up my resume, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect during interviews. What meant the most was how she always checked up on me, making sure I was doing okay, reminding me about deadlines, and helping calm my nerves before interviews. She never made me feel like I was bothering her, and she always had good advice ready. Alla truly cares about her students, and you can feel it. I'm really grateful for all the support she gave me and how much time she put into helping me get ready for my career. If you're a new-grad or a student in school looking for guidance, she's the best person to have in your corner.

What stood out to me most was the accessibility of the instructors--they genuinely want to see you succeed and are always willing to provide extra guidance on complex topics. The curriculum is straightforward and high-yield, focusing on exactly what we need to know for the boards and for our future roles as nurses. The clinical placements were also a huge plus, providing meaningful patient interaction that helped build my confidence before graduation. It's a demanding program, but the quality of education and the professional network you build here are worth it.

I completed the IV Therapy & Blood Withdrawal Certification course at Los Angeles Career College,…read moreand I have to say--this place runs smoother than most hospital floors I've worked on. The staff was organized, check-in was easy, and the hybrid format made the whole process painless (unlike some IV attempts I've witnessed in real life). What really impressed me was how efficient everything was. Once I passed my exam, they handed me my certificate the same day--no waiting, no chasing emails, no mysterious "processing time." Just boom. Certified. I wish everything in healthcare worked that fast. Now for the real highlight: Instructor Steele Erickson. Steele is the kind of nursing instructor you secretly hope for but never expect to get. He breaks down IV therapy and blood withdrawal with such clarity and patience that even tricky techniques suddenly feel manageable. He teaches with a calm, supportive energy that makes everyone relax. He's incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely invested in every student, and somehow keeps the class both educational and entertaining. As someone with 25+ years in healthcare, I can confidently say instructors like Steele do not grow on trees. If you're considering getting your IV Certification, go to Los Angeles Career College and hope you get Steele Erickson as your instructor. You'll walk away confident, competent, and wondering why every nursing class can't be this smooth. Highly recommended!

Here's the same version with favoritism added:…read more I am writing anonymously as a recent CNA student and state skills test candidate at Los Angeles Career College. My California CNA skills exam was confirmed in the official TMU/Headmaster system, but days before the test the school emailed and told me it was cancelled and that it "would not take place" if I showed up. TMU told me my exam was still scheduled and even had to call the school to remind them they were required to test me. On test day there were other students testing at the site, even though the administrator had told me there was no exam and that exams would no longer be offered there, which left me feeling singled out and misled. Throughout the program, it often felt like some students received more support and opportunities than others, which gave me the impression of favoritism rather than equal treatment. The school promotes itself as professional and student‑focused, but the way my exam was handled did not feel fair or transparent. I recommend future students closely monitor their TMU account, save all confirmations, and be ready to advocate for themselves.

I want to sincerely thank North-West College for everything I learned during my journey there. The…read moreprogram was challenging, but it helped me grow both professionally and personally. A very special thank you to Dr. Arvella. At the time, I did not fully understand some of the difficult decisions that were made, but now I realize they pushed me to become stronger, more disciplined, and more serious about my education. Because of that experience, I improved my English, gained valuable medical knowledge, and became a better future nurse. Dr. Arvella truly cares about students and wants them to succeed. Sometimes strict guidance is exactly what helps students reach their potential. Looking back, I am genuinely grateful for her honesty, support, and dedication. Thank you again to North-West College and especially to Dr. Arvella for helping shape my future. I wish all the faculty continued success and happiness.

This school is so unorganized it's a shame. My theory teacher was so all over the place when she…read morewas teaching, she revised the syllabus for term one 3 times and still had dates wrong. We barely got a syllabus for term two before she went out on medical leave. My clinical instructors Mr. Dexter, Mr. Nino, Ms. Val and Ms. Donna was wonderful always helping us and making sure we understood our skills. If you needed to speak with any one in the office Ms. Tameeka, Ms. Ethel, and Mr. Noel was always accommodating and will resolve your issues as soon as possible. When it comes to talking with Dr. Arvella , honey be prepared to have thick skin because she come off very abrasive, rude, condescending and didn't care what you are going through. Yes I didn't make it pass term two however speaking with her about trying to reapply back into the program she said that she will have to feel it's in her best interest for her to allow me back into the program and not wasting her time. How the curriculum is set up. I don't care how long you study when it comes to the HESI specially dosage calculations no one really taught us the formulas and which formulas to use for different dosage. On top of that they only gave us a week in between to study for the next HESI with 12 additional assignments that is due that same week. Yes this is an accelerated program but you not giving your students the proper information to succeed. Arvella doesn't care about issue that arise in the classroom or how we feel like we are not learning from our theory instructor. She will tell you that she has personal hand picked her instructors. She hand picked them alright the new clinical instructor Mr. Muhammad kept making sexual comments towards the class when we were doing injections on an hot dog. Saying and I quote "don't put it in your mouths" and laughing about it. Where you have other instructor Mr. Victor getting dropped off by a student. Mind you when you sign up for the program you sign a contract stating no fraternizing with instructors while in school. So I impale Dr. Arvella to ask Mr. Victor about the student who drive the pink Mercedes G wagon who he has been seen having a disagreement with during clinicals. I will not be reapplying to this school and I'm not going to allow someone to dictate when I can come back and be force to retake term one to prove that I'm worthy of her time. But it is okay for a student to be out on medical for 3 weeks and have to option to go back to the term she didn't complete before her medical leave or start the next term. Dr. Arvella plays favoritism with students. Please deeply think about signing up for this college and this location. This school needs to be audit by the board of education.

So I dressed accordingly. How wrong was I.... Tasha Smith (professional actor and teacher) conducted a Master Class Scene Study, and let the public (Yelp) in to sit in the back rows to watch her conduct coaching sessions. She was quite insightful as Tasha offered valuable feedback that could easily be applied to your (my) own acting work. The evening started with a motivational talk. Then, Tasha's close friend, Brandy (actress and singer) joined in on the conversation. There were plenty scenes to go through.... Still, during and/or after every scene, Tasha critiqued and coached performances into betterment. Tasha produced immediate results from her students. I found her to be lively with methods, experience and stories. When the night was coming to an end, her producer friend showed up with a Martial Arts Grandmaster to Bruce Lee (r.i.p). The Grandmaster gave the workshop a lesson in martial arts and meditation with his son. I smiled at everyone, and talked to Tasha. She was so down to earth and knowledgable about acting. It was totally inspiring.... I am sooo ready for the feature film arena. I love Acting! TSWA in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California offers 1 class per week for a whole month at $200 (Raquel Gardner, Kevin Benton, Ryan Travis, Tasha Smith).
