Marcy Argote has been such an incredible support throughout my college journey, both before and…read moreafter graduation. She truly goes above and beyond for her students. From helping me build and perfect my résumé to guiding me through interviews and navigating life after graduation, she has always been encouraging, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my success. Her guidance gave me confidence during such an important transition in my life, and I'm so grateful for all the time and care she put into helping me reach my goals. Any student would be lucky to have someone like Marcy in their corner!

I'm Anthony Dominguez. I enrolled in CBD College's Physical…read moreTherapist Assistant program, passed Module 1 with strong exam scores, and balanced full-time work while caring for my hospitalized mother. I brought proof of every absence and every shift. None of that mattered. Financial Aid? A wall of silence. Calls unanswered, emails ignored. When I asked for an out-of-pocket cost for semester two, nobody could even give a number. Instead of support, I got a cancellation notice. Academics? I did the work. I submitted every essay. My English instructor, Donna Madison Bell, failed me over petty formatting and quotation marks. That one class--on paper--gave the College the excuse they needed to drop me. The rest of the staff? Either unresponsive or buried behind ticket systems so slow the problems outlived the semester. Even with proof of my situation, they left me locked out of Module 2. Here's what it means in plain language: CBD College hides behind policy and "conditional enrollment" while students like me do the hard work. They take your aid, drag their feet, and when the system they built fails you, they blame you. I believe the way I was treated--while being a Hispanic student who delivered results--was discriminatory. That's my lived experience. Don't be fooled by the handful of kind instructors. I respect Jessica in Medical Terminology and Anatomy & Physiology; she's solid. But one good teacher can't cover for an institution that cancels a student who passes exams and proves commitment. CBD College didn't remove me because I failed. They removed me because their own process failed. And now they've lost a determined, high-performing student. That's on them. I won't reapply. I won't recommend. There are stronger programs--American Career College, Stanbridge University--that respect hard work and answer the phone. If you value your time, money, and future, take your ambition elsewhere. CBD College had the chance to back a fighter. Instead, they made an enemy. Let's deal in facts, not marketing copy. You claim: "This process exists to ensure the program is a good academic and personal fit before any binding tuition obligations are incurred." If that were true, I wouldn't have been dropped after acing every exam (95 % and higher, 100 % on quizzes). Testing knowledge is the very definition of proving academic fit. Your own numbers prove me fit. Dropping a student who meets and exceeds those standards contradicts your statement outright. That's not a "fit evaluation," that's a policy weapon. You also claim: "No tuition charges... no tuition is ever collected until the student meets the conditional enrollment criteria." Yet financial aid staff (name on record: Callie Driskill) told me in writing that any aid already applied to Module 1 will not be reimbursed and that if a student is forced to repeat Module 1-- even if they didn't truly fail-- financial aid may not cover the second run. Translation: students are on the hook for up to $18,000 for general-ed classes before you ever grant "full" admission. That is money collected. Your own email trail proves it. So which is it? No tuition collected, or students risking $18k with zero guarantee of aid if you decide they must retake a module they already passed? Both can't be true. And here's the core issue you keep dodging: CBD College doesn't reward mastery of the material. It rewards ticking boxes inside an opaque policy. Teachers can fail a student over petty format quirks or simply poor instruction, and your system converts that into cash--forcing another paid module no matter how well the student knows the subject. That is discrimination by policy. To anyone reading: this isn't about one student's bad day. It's structural. You can ace every test, submit every assignment, and still be dropped because the College's bottom line wins over your education. CBD College isn't protecting students from "binding tuition obligations." It's creating them. That's the scam. -- Anthony Dominguez Former PTA student who earned 95 %+ on every exam and still got dropped

READ THIS OR YOU WILL REGRET. I am helping you…read more.. This review is not about CSULA, but this review is to help you against a crook cop. Be careful driving on Hellman Ave. The cop hides in intersection of Hellman ave and Ross ave, so he can give you a ticket for his monthly quota. He always does it toward the end of the month. The stakeout technique should be illegal. If you run 5 miles over the limit, he will ticket you. If you stop on the line at the stop sign, he will ticket you. As I said, it is his cash cow intersection.

CSULA is a pretty bad university. The aesthetics is below average. The architecture and scenery is…read morenot that good. The demographic makeup is not diverse as it's only Latinos and some Asians so you won't get exposure to other ethnicities. The social scene is very terrible. Students are very quiet and either stick to their own clique, look like they don't want to be bothered, or look too busy. Like seriously, where's the school spirit and parties at? Introverts looking to make friends will have a horrible time here but if you have to go here, go the full effort on clubs, orgs, frats/sororities and sports classes. Books, especially buying physical copies are pretty expensive. It's a crime they're charging money just for digital renting books you don't even own. I don't recommend digital renting if you're taking classes in your major as you may need to refer to them again. The university doesn't have a high rate of attractive women like UCLA and USC but there are a few attractive women if you're very patient.

Hi this is Nayrouhi Sarkissiyan. I would like to mention how amazing and supportive Jennifer Wilson…read moreis from career services. She listens to you and is with you through out your entire hiring process if not until the end of your career lol. She is the most professional and smart individual. She has been there with me through out the dreaded hiring process which I am very grateful of because I wouldn't have got hired without her advice and support. THANK YOU Jennifer! I could not have done it without you. I got hired at Valley Presbyterian Hospital as a New Grad RN!

The staff are shockingly unprofessional and rude. Their customer service is unacceptable,…read moreespecially for prospective students who are genuinely interested in joining their program. Even 1 start s not deserved for the review. It feels like they have no interest in helping students at all. The communication is so poor that by the time they manage to return your call-if they ever do-you could already be graduating from another school. It's clear that supporting students is not a priority for them. From what I've experienced, they don't seem to care about their image or reputation. The staff are unapproachable, unresponsive, and at times outright disrespectful. It's truly frustrating trying to reach anyone or get basic questions answered, especially Stacy M.

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!

I took the accelerated CNA course with Mika. I am not going to lie, it was a lot of work, but Mika…read moremade the experience enjoyable. Life got in the way a couple of times during this portion of the class and I was able to talk to Mika and figure out a plan so that I wouldn't have to miss class. I also loved listening to her real life stories of working in nursing. The course I took was 5 weeks, 8 hours a day. The first two weeks were online. There is a lot of reading, a lot of quizzes, and several tests, but you get the hang of it quickly. The second week was practical where you learned the skills. I got pretty frustrated when I didn't get the skill right the first time, but the fact is that there are a lot of steps to the skills and these are brand new things that I'm learning. It all falls into place when you go into the clinical. You get to apply what you learned in class and in your practical learning. I especially loved my clinical rotations at the hospital. It gave me such a bigger perspective on the healthcare industry and patient care. I learned so much and discovered that I really liked working in ER. I look forward to applying everything I learned in my future career.
