They have one clinical instructor Maya, who is very informative and will help you with upcoming exams while at Clinical's . Mary is an instructor and she over talks students belittles the students. She lies always comes to the clinical site late and uses her authority . She likes to save face to make herself look good in front of Jen and Meghan to keep her job . She tells students to do the job incorrectly unless board is there . She's very unprofessional I would attend clement career college in Gardena it's 11 months and has a high passing rate .

You'll be in a nursing home for pretty much all your terms . Go elsewhere where !

But before we took the exam, me and those two other students were talking about how we weren't confident about taking the exam because of the instructor and her horrible confusing teaching. The instructor, which I'm guessing is the business owner, was 10 minutes late to the class and then she started the class an hour late and only checking in like six students. There were barely any students there. So an hour of teaching time was wasted because she was lollygagging. As the instructor sat down to start teaching the class, she kept stopping to text message somebody and I don't know if it was her boyfriend, but she had a huge smile on her face, Every time she was texting somebody. She did not answer questions that I had for her. She kept saying that those questions weren't necessary to answer because they weren't on the test. I paid almost $400 to take that class. I would much appreciate if you answer the questions that I have, regardless, if it's on the test or not. And then, when I finally passed the exam after having to take it a second time and after having to purchase an online Notary course by EZ Notary. I spoke to the owner on the phone and asked how can I get the rest of my supplies which is a journal, my bond and my seal. She said I would have to pay for the shipping since I don't live around there and I'm not willing to go get it in person to pick up the supplies. Her team or her emailed me the invoice for the shipment, it was $31, just to ship my bond and then I would have to pay for a second shipment for the rest of my supplies. Talk about ripping students off. Another thing is you have to pay for parking. when I called before I placed the order I asked her assistant or her front desk person do I have to pay for parking, he said no that we can get it validated for you. But nobody wanted to validate the ticket unless you bought something in that building. The parking was $20. Do not pay to take the in person class and do not pay for any other Notary course from her. She is a horrible instructor. I would not waste your time or your money. There is a much better chance passing the exam through someone else online course. Good luck!

For those of us who are wanting to level up their own skills sets so that they can enhance their career (and progress upwards into new possibilities), this is a great fundamental class that introduces you to the product manager style of thinking. What enriches the class are the in-class discussion topics on trends and sharing of professional and personal experiences. A key take away is to understand the different point of views that people are expressing themselves. Point of views are influenced by experiences, culture, and circumstances, and its always great to have this insight. I also did enjoy Lenworth - he made it relatable and he was quite approachable. Good times.

These two items are critical to your success, in addition to what you put into it. I have taken 2 courses so far: Data Analytics and Product Management. Both instructors (Andy Chu and Lenworth Gordon) have been outstanding - they really make Product School worth it from a teaching stand point. Both are established Product Managers and make the course more than the material. Andy specializes in Data Analytics and gives you a good analytical approach to Product First Thinking. Lenworth is on the money in terms of Product Management principles and helped us outside of class to network and grow professionally. Both instructors get you focused for a possible job transition if you put in the effort. I highly recommend both instructors if you see a class available with either of them. The cohorts have been good and the teams focused on classwork. I think we meshed well for the most part and it is good for networking outside of class too. The only downsides about Product School: The courses are fast! You have to put in the time and effort to get every dollar out of them. The teachers will help, but make sure to invest all your available resources to get that value out of your time. Also, the classroom we had was not good. They should use another location (I told them that directly). Additionally, the course material for Data Analytics needs to be built out a little more. Andy really helped to make the course material a better product and deliver true value (see what I did there :)). Just to note, I will be taking 3rd course in Digital Marketing.

I am so surprised to see nothing by five stars, while the ratio of passing the state test is only…read more20-30% ccording to what i heard, direct from horses mouth in BRE test room. I went to this school and paid for their online and class, which BTW is useless since they only cover 5% of the 1500 pages of the textbook, and for someone like me who failed twice the state exam after using this class, i have to say their classroom material are totally not test questions and are way off Overall i feel it was waste of $500, and here why? 1- Their book PDF come in within their site not as PDF file, and search in it is impossible. not practical for study purpose. 2- They suggest you to pass the three certificates on open books, its a wrong method because, you really need to know every single page of those 1500 pages. 3- The test questions are totally different with certificate test questions, or even their simulators, not by how they are phrased but by subject matter, as a whole. 4- I really threw myself into their site and their classes and put lots of time like 7 hours a day for 30 days prior to exam plus three months of going to those waste of time blue cart postal classes. I pass their state exam simulators three times at over 90% but the CA state exam I was at 61% and 62%!! 5- They use finance as their third subject which is one of hardest material. Try to choose an school that they don't have finance as their 3rd material since practice and principal are mandatory. Recap: For me, they are way off from the state exam. Having said that CA state exam is extremely hard and according to what they told me at DRE test room, only between 20%-30% pass the test on any given test day. That what those examiners told me.DRE website said they get 3000 applicant a month and issue roughly 1200 license. The way that State Exam sentences the test questions and wording definition, its not English, you need to be a code breaker to pass the test. Extremely hard to pass, and do not pay the $400 for finger print and background stuff, in our class three students did it, and they all failed, so now they are stuck with $400 background check. its waste of money, pass the hardest part first, state exam, then pay for the bureaucracy. This school suggest you to pay everything, but don't listen to them. Wrong school, not recommended at all, and it even turn me off to want to become an agent.

After my daughter became visibly upset, cried, and explained that she felt anxious and her heart was racing, the coach continued to push the exercise. I asked the coach to let it go for the time being and she agreed, but minutes later told my daughter that she would have to do it next time regardless of how she felt. Anyone working with children, especially in a swimming environment, should have at least basic training in recognizing and responding appropriately to anxiety. The coach's approach showed a lack of understanding, empathy, and judgment. This experience was unacceptable. I would not recommend spending your money here. The school appears to invest very little in properly training and preparing its instructors to work with children.

I checked out quite a few Real Estate training programs in the interest of knowing more about real estate in L.A.. I reviewed a number of websites and reviews from past students. CA Realty Training quickly revealed itself to be the best in my opinion. Their training program offers many flexible options for training: in-classroom, both weekday evening and weekends, or the online option and do everything from home. I highly encourage you to attend classes. Real Estate is a people business. Learning to create the right personal interaction with others is really a key to success in Real Estate. There is no one that better illustrates the kind of outgoing enthusiasm than Renee Despins, trainer extrodinaire. She's been in Real Estate for 40 years and has seen it all. She has a great sense of humor and makes learning a lot of fun. There's no better way to gain seasoned insight into what it takes to be successful in Real Estate than listening to her many stories and practical advice. One of the other advantages of CA Realty Training is their association with Keller Williams Agency. They are really about continuing education no matter what level of success you've achieved. I highly encourage anyone that is interested in knowing more about real estate to sign up and take Renee Despins' classes. read more

I signed up with CA Realty Training earlier this year, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I initially signed up for a specific night, but decided to audit a different class prior to attending. I audited the class of Kathryn Shafer, and my mind was quickly made up. In all fairness, I did attend the other class with my original instructor, just to be absolutely certain. Attending that class only reinforced my decision to stay in Kathryn's class. She seemed thoroughly informed, she was well spoken, their wasn't a question that stomped her, and she had a dream line up of guest speakers. She had Escrow, various Lender's, and a host of other useful experts that were all delighted to hand out their cards and make themselves available. Kathryn eventually changed her Saturday class to evenings, and I got a capable but not quite Kathryn replacement. I felt I was getting the most for my investment in Kathryn's class, so I moved my class once again, to evenings, as I wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity to learn from the industry's best. Kathryn has since become a great mentor, coaching me and others like me, and helping us achieve our greatest success as new Realtors. Kathryn goes above and beyond, and is highly recommended. read more

I graduated from my Real Estate coursework in October via CA Realty Training in Beverly Hills. Renee Despins was a fantastic trainer! She presented material clearly and simply and brought a great energy to the classroom. She answered every question any student had and even stayed after class to speak with students that had questions about the content or post-course concerns. She was an overall joy and made for an inviting and comfortable envrionment. CA Realty Training has a dashboard that has tools and features that are evident and unequivocally constructive. I highly recommend purchasing the online videos for each course, taught by instructor Robert Rico. Aside from Renee's extreme clarity, the online videos give a pre-recorded course that you can revert to at any time for up to a year. I will now be continuing on with CA Realty Training's 2-day Crash Course, in which you are discounted if you initially take the 3-college course class with them!

The Realty Training offered at The Keller Williams offices were a great introduction into the Real Estate realm. Our instructor, Kelly, was very vibrant and animated, making each class enjoyable and engaging. Kelly was able to relate subject topics to real life examples from her career experience, which significantly helped understand otherwise somewhat dry material in the textbooks. You may be able to do your license online, but it really helped having in-class lessons where you can interact and keep motivated with the rest of the class. If you're thinking about getting your RE License, I would definitely recommend this course, plus having night classes made it easy to fit into a schedule. read more

She keeps it 100, gives real life examples and goes above and beyond to make sure the material is clear and simple. Her energy is infectious and will keep you very alert during the evening classes. I highly recommend her class. read more

After I took my exam and passed, I realized how important this course was for me to take. Real Estate Principles, Real Estate Practice, and Real Estate Finance were covered extensively by our teacher, Renee Despins, and her patience and experience prepared me for everything. I highly recommend the program, and highly recommend Renee as an instructor. read more

Absolutely brilliant! Veronica Jones was my instructor at the CA Realty Training program's 3-month training session, and I honestly have to say it was one of the best classes I've attended in a long time. Veronica is personable, patient, and always readily available to answer any questions. Highly recommended!!! read more

I give her class 5+ stars!!!

Trying to find a security school that offers these classes more than once a month is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, so Google is it to find a trainer. These guys, like Covered 6, cater to GI Bill folks and EP programs that run around $10,000 so I called them to see if they offer stand alone baton training. Called on 4/8/24 at 10:29am, got John Gill's voicemail, left a message. As of this post on 4/14/24 at 5:48pm, I have yet to receive a callback. Appears that they only cater to those that want to enroll in one of their multi-week courses and looking to pursue a career in EP so if you're just a security guard, this is a no-go.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Richard and Emma for creating this wonderful place and…read morefor being phenomenal teachers. I just concluded my first international festival after being a student of LATA for a year, and I could have not been happier with my knowledge and ability to dance socially. Hearing the maestros and maestras telling me that I have a good technique was a testament of LATA's teaching quality. I don't write reviews unless I see results, and I now realize the magnitude of the results. From the moment I entered LATA ( thank you Instagram algorithm for suggesting it!) not only I felt welcomed but also I felt the teachers' knowledge and expertise. I don't throw these words just for anyone- I have been in an executive role for many years and I sense the lack of competence from afar. I still have a very long way to go in my tango journey, but I know for a fact I've got a good start. I need to give a credit where the credit is due! If you want to learn Argentine tango and be able to dance socially, look no further. I promise this place will become your home away from home!

The instructor and owner Richard came across as rude, cold, and unapproachable. He rarely greeted…read morestudents, smiled, or made an effort to learn their names. Instead of handling questions or concerns professionally, he publicly raised his voice at students and reprimanded them in front of the class, creating an intimidating and uncomfortable learning environment. For complete beginners, the step-by-step instruction may be useful for learning the fundamentals. However, the beginner curriculum was highly repetitive and appeared to require students to spend months repeating the same material before advancing. Rather than evaluating students based on their ability, advancement seemed to depend primarily on completing the studio's prescribed class sequence. As a result, students with prior experience may end up spending significant time and money on repetitive lessons that provide little additional value before being allowed to move to the next level. While the instructor demonstrated the dance steps accurately, his dancing felt mechanical and uninspiring, with little sense of connection, musicality, or the spirit of tango. The class felt more like memorizing patterns than learning an expressive partner dance. Overall, the teaching lacked warmth, encouragement, and respect for students. Rather than helping students develop according to their ability, the program emphasized a rigid progression through repetitive classes instead of meaningful improvement.

I was challenged to look honestly at myself, my patterns, and the kind of person I am committed to being. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the opportunity to reflect deeply on my values and the way I want to show up in my life. The impact of this experience extends beyond me. My daughter will grow up in a household where both of her parents are committed to doing the work, growing, and living intentionally. That alone makes this experience invaluable. The leaders and staff may never fully know the ripple effect they create, but I can confidently say they made a difference in my life and in my family's future. If you're willing to show up, participate, and be open to growth, this workshop can be a truly powerful experience. I'm grateful for what I learned, the people I met, and the opportunity to be part of it I wish i could do a 10 star review

I went in hoping to gain a better understanding of myself, but I left with so much more than that. I walked away with a deeper awareness of who I am and understanding the ways my past experiences and unresolved trauma have been shaping my thoughts, relationships, and decisions for years. What stood out to me most was that this experience wasn't about fixing anything that was "wrong" with me, but rather it was about helping me recognize my own power, uncover patterns and beliefs that were no longer serving me, and giving me the tools to choose a different way forward. The work was challenging, emotional, and eye opening, but it was also incredibly healing. Ariya created a space where I felt safe, supported, seen, and empowered to do the work. Through the process, I gained a level of self awareness and now have a much better understanding of myself, my emotions, triggers, and patterns that have been holding me back. I've been able to apply what I learned to both my personal life and my career. My relationships have improved, my communication has become more intentional, and I find myself approaching challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self trust. My advice is simple - trust the process and be willing to show up fully!! The growth, healing, and transformation that are possible on the other side are far greater than I ever could have imagined. I am incredibly grateful to Ariya and the entire EAC team for creating such a powerful experience. It was truly one of the best things I could have ever done for myself, and I know the lessons and breakthroughs I gained will stay with me for the rest of my life. I am forever grateful to the people who introduced me to this work
