I recently completed the phlebotomy program at CA Trade Academy in Ontario. While the enrollment…read moreprocess was quick and the hands-on training with my instructor Oscar was a strong part of the experience, the program was ultimately undermined by inconsistent communication and lack of administrative support. Oscar was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to student success. Being in a one-on-one setting allowed for focused instruction, and he even continued to assist me after he left the school--something I truly appreciated. However, after the classroom portion ended, the experience became difficult. I completed my classes in mid-January and was told I was ready to begin my externship, but didn't receive placement or meaningful communication until mid-March. I had to follow up repeatedly just to get updates. The clinic I was placed at was also in Los Angeles, which was not convenient given the school's Ontario location. Additionally, I received several forwarding emails that I was meant to be out of, other student email responses from a licensing issues--something that should have been handled more professionally and privately. While I'm thankful for the instruction I received from Oscar, the lack of structure and follow-through on the administrative side left a bitter part to my experience and was slightly misled by some of the faulty 5 star reviews left

My instructors were very kind and great at teaching the curriculum and I'm very pleased with the knowledge I've left with. The only issue that keeps me from giving them 5 stars is the fact that their financial aid representatives are a nightmare to get into contact with. I used my GI Bill to go to school, and for some reason they just forgot to submit my enrollment to the VA for two whole months. I had to talk to three people just to get in contact with the department head and remind them to submit the paperwork so I could get my housing allowance for the month and pay my rent. 1/5 experience on that end.

When I was ready to obtain my CADC, my instructor at Healthstaff, Miguel Palos, went above and beyond to support me. He provided exam review sessions, guidance on study materials, and insight into what to expect on test day. Thanks to his support, I passed my exam with confidence and without anxiety. I have recommended Healthstaff's program to many people and will continue to do so--especially the classes taught by Miguel. This program truly prepared me for success in the field.

One of…read morethe zone in the front yard didn't work and the valve was leaking and my backyard sprinklers were a mess. I tried calling around but no one was picking up. I was SOO FORTUNATE that I called Irrigator technical services. Richard picked up the phone immediately. With a friendly and welcoming voice, he asked what he can do for me. I explained to him my sprinkler problems and he asked me to send some photos of my lawn valve and timer box. He looked at the photos and then packed his truck with the needed supplies and off he went to my home on the same day. He arrived as promised, assessed the problems and knew what to do! He is very knowledgeable and it's obvious from talking to him that he's a master in his craft. He teaches courses to have other aspiring irrigation technician certified. He was showing me and explaining every step of what he was doing. He even gave me valuable insights and advices on how irrigation system work and how to care for my lawn. My irrigation system needed quite a few repairs, but he knew exactly what to do. He replaced one of the backyard valve system, front yard's diaphragm from the anti-siphon filter, redid the timer wiring, upgraded my timer box, and replace some sprinkler heads to the appropriate types for the garden. He was so nice to talk to and I can tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes satisfaction in helping homeowners get their irrigation system to work to get their lawn and garden in top shape. He knows landscaping very well and was explaining what kind of trees, scrubs and plants I have and how they grow and how I should water them. During his work, he needed some parts from his office. As promised, he came back the next day, and finished the job and now my home has a strong working sprinkler system and an improved timer box that I completely love! I am glad I found a quality and honest irrigation specialist that I can rely on to get the job done. I would definitely seek Richard and Irrigator Technical Service for any future needs. His pricing and quality of work was more than fair. Apparently, he also runs a shop that sell irrigation parts and he partakes in talk shows to help other homeowners get advice on lawn care. Richard is a great guy and a pleasure doing business with!

That's exactly what the HVAC program at UEI College offered me: not just technical training, but a controlled detonation of potential turned into skill. From the very beginning, the instructors didn't waste time with fluff. They were professionals--battle-hardened from the field--who spoke the language of compressors, refrigerant flow, voltage drops, and pressure diagnostics with the ease of a symphony conductor leading an orchestra. And like any good alchemist of air and temperature, they expected excellence... and instilled it. What stood out most was the balance--equal parts theory and hands-on application. Wiring a thermostat, rebuilding a condenser unit, calculating superheat--all of it felt less like coursework and more like shaping a fine explosive: delicate, exact, and beautiful when it all comes together. And the EPA certification? Secured. Career services? Unrelenting. They didn't just train you and shove you into the world--they armed you, with opportunity and confidence. UEI didn't give me a job. It gave me a skill set sharp enough to carve my own path. And that, dear reader, is far more valuable than any temporary safety net. If you're ready to take control of your future, to learn a craft where every degree matters and every wire has meaning--then this is your battlefield. And trust me... it's a glorious one.

Luke and his team are incredibly professional instructors who are truly dedicated to bringing out the best in each student. Ladies, if you're feeling a bit intimidated or worried that you'll be treated differently, don't be. The only thing you really need to survive AFA is a sense of humor (that goes for the guys too) I remember sitting in college, debating whether it was the right path for me or if I should take the leap and pursue a trade. I'm beyond glad I did. I have absolutely no regrets about attending AFA. Ralph, Ronnie, Doc, and Kyle not only taught me during my time there, but they continue to teach and support me even after graduation. Whether I need extra practice or advice, before an interview or for a weld test their doors are always open. Luke, Robert, Marcio, and Gus have also been incredibly supportive and instrumental in helping me grow in my welding career. Never in a million years did I think I'd find myself in aerospace, but here I am and I couldn't have done it without the amazing team at AFA. And of course, shoutout to the wonderful ladies in the office, they are always a delight to talk to and often the highlight of my day. Whatever I needed, they were there to help. P.S.

From day one, the American Fabrication Academy taught me the foundational skills I needed to enter this trade and gave me lifelong mentors I now consider family. Before attending AFA, my only work experience was babysitting. After graduating in March, it took a little time, but by May I had job offers from SpaceX and Anduril Industries at just 19 years old. I'm beyond grateful for how much this school helped me during and even after the program. If you're looking for a trade school that truly cares about your future not just your tuition this is the place. The staff here go above and beyond to set you up for success, and that support doesn't end when you graduate. I want to give a special thank you to all the instructors who were a part of my journey: Luke, Marcio, Kyle, Ronnie, Doc, and David, Robert, as well as Gus, the recruiter, and Silvia at the front desk. Each of them played a role in my growth. They're not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they also know how to keep things fun always joking around, but dead serious when it comes to teaching you the craft and work ethic this industry demands. In my opinion, AFA is the top trade school in California. To this day, I'm still learning from the advice and lessons they gave me things I never got from traditional high school or anyone for that matter. Forever grateful for the family I made at AFA. Thank you for everything. -Christine class #39
