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.

Every class leaves me energized and deeply inspired. What excites me most is the exploration of not just our acting, but also our writing, directing, and creative voices as a whole. I feel consistently challenged in the best way, and I'm surrounded by an incredible community of artists who are welcoming, supportive, and who make it feel safe to be human--to simply be myself. BGB has truly become a space where artistry and authenticity thrive, and I'm so grateful to be part of it.

I also worked briefly with Sydney Walsh, a deeply passionate and invested instructor who helped me see some of the potential I didn't know I had. I had the opportunity to briefly meet Risa, one of the founders. She has a way of inspiring in a very authentic way. The pricing is very reasonable, and the community you will find at BGB is like no other. If you're looking for a long-term acting home, look no further.

I would like to mention the glam was very natural and beautiful; the girls didn't look over-the-top which was nice. Everyone was so professional and kind, but mostly I loved that they have experience.

I have to admit that every time I take his class, I'm shaking because I get so nervous doing improv and talking about myself, but Michael is so real and gives it to you like it is, with love and so much genuine support. He really wants to see you win and puts his money where his mouth is 100% of the time. My commercial booking rate increased substantially during 2020, which was surprising to me because of the pandemic. However, the skills he teaches are super practical. This was my highest callback and booking year and I am also now repped by an incredible Commercial agent.

When I arrived for my first day, I observed some people taking their final exam and thought how professional and skilled they looked and thought I would never get to that level. On my last day, I took my final exam with new students watching and thought how funny it was that I felt that way, since everything actually felt so simple as I took the exam. They provide in-depth knowledge in mixology and skills necessary to become a reliable bartender. They use a lot of repetition throughout classes to ensure you learn/memorize important details. To complete this course, you must take 2 classes every day of the week, not necessarily in the same week - the flexibility is great for those who go to school or already have a job, which was my case. They give you 6 weeks to complete your studies.

I audited and found out this studio was not for me (which is totally ok)!…read more Here's why: The instructions given about how to behave on set, audition, etc. I felt were dated based on my experiences with the industry in its current state, and some teachings gave off a "let's break you down" energy, which, personally, I have always found to be more distressing than helpful when performing. I think this class works for people who like long-form scene work and enjoy a strict approach to acting, but for me, the style of teaching ultimately felt too dated and unnecessarily straight-edge for a job that is often fun and not that serious (sometimes, we really are just playing Tree #3). It's also hard because art and acting are so subjective, and there really is no correct way of doing any of it :) I'm sure everyone that has been in this class for a long time is there for a reason, has gotten what they need out of it, and has found a great community within it. However, I found the class itself to be too serious and a touch ostentatious for my taste. Different strokes for different folks!
