US Colleges - Van Nuys — Attraction in Los Angeles

So despite a few bad reviews here via Google. I am big on Reviews. I was actually referred to by a student that came specifically through my Drive Thru at my current job one evening. She was taking the Phlebotomy course program. I had completely forgot about the program. I had graduated from sister campus UEI College with my Medical Assistant Certification. They unfortunately hadn't been helping me try to find a job. Nobody had called me. I believe Gabi/y the receptionist was the one who called me about the Phlebotomy program. Thanks to Gaby she got me in the next class, got set up with Admissions made my deposit right away with Danny. Under the circumstances Danny is no longer with the campus anymore, very unfortunate because he was the one who had believed in me to go through with the program. Thirdly I want to thank Ernie Big Dog for motivating me as a Chicana to keep pushing me to succeed and continue coming and not giving up. Thanks to Ms. Vicky as well for helping me with my hours and informing me about the NHA testing, and offering the boot camp. Lastly I want to give the best recognition to Ms Liza, she is one of the best instructors here on Campus. She makes sure you succeed without a given. She's just a positive human being all around great human being and great teacher. I have obtained so much knowledge from her and her ways of teachings. She will always work with you as long as you do your work, listen, and intake information. She could not steer you wrong from succeeding. She's been doing Phlebotomy for a very long time so I can respect that from a Veteran. Thanks Ms Liza for helping me pass not only my Midterm but my Final as well. Next is my NHA. Thanks...

Offer a number of certifications (CMA, CNA, phlebotomy). "Campus" is fairly small with 2 instructional rooms, 1 lab, and 1 computer lab. Classes are fairly small too, which I like because instructors can give 1:1 help. I'm in the CMA class (11 wks, 5 d/wk) and it's hybrid (2 in-person:3 online). Staff are kind and will help you as much as they can: payment reminders, externship, tutoring, open labs. Tuition is all-inclusive: 2 sets of scrubs, books, stethoscope, tourniquet, 300hrs tutoring.

9/20 Update: Last class was on 5/16 and was told externships would start within 2 weeks. As of today, I have completed 0/80 hours. On the school portal, my externship dates kept changing: 5/14-6/3 5/14-7/14 5/14-11/11. No one reached out to me regarding these changes or to even update me on any progress, success or fail, with any site. Not sure if this has anything to do with an issue I brought up regarding the lack of masks, which the CCMA teacher took very personally and led her to antagonize me in class. Also, later found out that the career services specialist said I had "transportation issues", which is not true at all and I have no idea where she got that impression from. Wasted 11 weeks in class, 2 weeks of studying for the NHA exam, 3 hours of taking the NHA exam, and $2,000.

They ask students to write reviews in exchange for a $5...

I have read all these reviews and I don't understand what people expect from a school. I enrolled in this school to become a licensed Phlebotomist. Ernie was great at explaining the upfront cost and the expectations. Just like any other school, career or anything else you do in life; you have to want it and put in the work to get it. Things are not just handed to you. The staff at the Van Nuys US Colleges are amazing. They are supportive, informative, helpful, and knowledgeable. My instructor, Natalie was/is always there to support me and encourage me. Anytime I called, or emailed her she was there to answer my concerns and help me get through my fears. I took my NHA exam 3 weeks after finishing my class, I passed with flying colors. I reached out to the Cheyenne to help me with my resume, and with open arms, she took me in and helped me create the most amazing cover letter and resume. I finished my externship and I was offered a job through my externship. It took me less then 3 months to do this. If you want it bad enough you can accomplish anything, specially with the help of these three amazing staff. Thank you so much Natalie, Ernie and Cheyenne for an amazing experience, encouragement and your love throughout the...
