CIEMT's accelerated program is fairly intense and also strict when it comes to attendance-- but…read moreit's only 5 weeks long so there's a good reason for that. The instructors do a fantastic job. Had no idea I could retain so much information in such a short time frame before this class. Shoutout to Matt and Vince. This class is totally doable for anyone who is willing to work hard and put the time in! I'm a humanities major who had zero medical experience prior to this. I still passed everything first try, including the NREMT. I think a lot of the negative reviews here lack perspective. However stressful this class is, actually working the job is definitely more so, especially if you want to do 911. Here's some advice, though-- don't take the accelerated program if you need to work or attend school at the same time. Excuses are not accepted here. If you like dogs, there's a giant one named Bourbon. If you're allergic to dogs, either bring medicine or consider going elsewhere. Overall, highly recommend.

This would be a ZERO star rating if that was an option. This facility has a $250 registration fee…read morewhich is non-refundable after the beginning of the course. None of the course material Is made available to the students until the first day of class. On the first day of class, the owner/administrator/instructor made sarcastic comments towards my daughter about the color of her school supplies stating "Oh, you think you have enough pink?" Also, when she was unable to answer a question regarding the subject matter, he responded "Maybe if you didn't sit in that f*** a$$ corner in the back, you'd actually know the answer". This comment was made towards a person with no previous medical experience. My daughter suffers from anxiety related to bullying in high school. So to be intimidated and belittled by an instructor on her first day of post-secondary education is uncalled for and unprofessional. My daughter did not feel comfortable proceeding with the program under the instruction of this individual. Given that she attended that first day, she is ineligible to receive a refund for the $250 registration fee per their policies and course enrollment agreement. There are multiple Yelp reviews as to the inappropriate behavior and treatment inflicted by this individual along with statements about the loss of the registration fee. Aside from bullying, this feels akin to a scam. Students are harassed and embarrassed but are left at a financial loss. There is no oversight for this individual as that he is the owner/administrator. Students have no recourse and no support. This individual is left untethered to inflict his particular brand of harassment on the students. And because they attended even one day of class, he gets to keep their money.

I took my class with Matthew Perez, adjunct instructor to Barry, and he made sure the content was clear. The skills instructors and professors only want the best for us and it was thoroughly shown throughout my time that was spent with them. A lot of attention and guidance is provided to the students and if at any time confusion was present, the professors and skills instructors made sure to clarify the topics. Furthermore, whenever students had a question outside of class Mr. Perez was always prompt on answering emails and was able to meet the student's individual needs. As cheesy as it sounds, I can go on and on about how great this program is but you would only have to experience it to understand!

Of course after seeing this I want to cancel but because of the 24 hour cancellation policy they will only give me 60% back on top of that they charged me $15 for giving back my refund. So I get back less than 50% for their unprofessionalism. They should have stated I needed a second person BEFORE purchase not after. Don't know why we need to waste other people's time for a class they won't even need and take away from any business they have during the day. I suggested I can demonstrate without a partner which should definitely suffice. They should not let people join a same day class if their policy is 24 hours for cancellation.

At the time I had just finished my MBA at USC Marshall and was looking to continue learning and challenging myself in the available months I had before I began my new role. I was familiar with Codesmith from their weekly Javascript - The Hard Parts sessions, http://www.meetup.com/build-with-code, and it was immediately apparent this was a well-designed program with serious promise. It was an intellectually challenging experience. My previous programming experience was limited, so the initial learning curve was steep. The full 12-week program is designed around a 30% - 40% working familiarity with Javascript starting day 1, so I had some ground to make up, but I did. Within a few weeks I was working on teams building full-stack applications, browsers games, and a hilarious web scraper that kept you alert of everything Donald Trump was tweeting. The progress I made in a matter of a few weeks was pretty remarkable. Learning by building is the approach at Codesmith, and it's effective. The first weeks of the program cover computer science fundamentals like algorithms, data structures, APIs, and databases, but they are taught via coding challenges and mini projects that merge theory with real world application. Some topics come more easily than others, and some days require an inhumane volume of coffee to finally debug an application, but the rate of concentrated learning is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. The remainder of the program is dedicated to working in teams on group projects. The Codesmith engineers kick off each day with hack hours as well which help you continually hone your coding chops. The building is spacious and crackling with a palpable feeling of enthusiasm and hard work. Everyone is there to help, and you can feel it. I highly recommend the Codesmith program.

A huge shout out to everyone involved in making this such a great, well structured, professional and fun learning experience!

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!

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.
