Los Angeles Career College

What Los Angeles Career College does

Los Angeles Career College is a for-profit, private healthcare career training institution founded in 2020 and headquartered at 6426 Bellingham Ave. in North Hollywood, California. It delivers state-approved certification programs targeting individuals entering or advancing within the California healthcare workforce, with core offerings including the 160-hour Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) program, a 40-hour Phlebotomy program, two Home Health Aide programs (40 and 120 hours), and a 36-hour IV Therapy and Blood Withdrawal course, supplemented by American Heart Association-certified BLS, ACLS, and PALS continuing-education classes plus CDPH-approved CNA/HHA continuing education units (CEUs).

The college operates a hybrid delivery model combining online coursework with in-person clinical training at its single North Hollywood campus, supported by a fee-based Learning Management System that tracks course delivery and student progress. Revenue is generated almost entirely from one-time tuition and associated fees: program tuition, non-refundable registration fees (capped at $150), LMS fees, equipment and materials fees, and the California STRF fee. Course price points range from $450 for the 5-day Home Health Aide program to approximately $1,890 in total charges for the CNA program, with a documented proration formula of $6.91 per clock hour for withdrawals.

Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven by the college's website, phone outreach (818.766.1000), SMS enrollment, Yelp presence (4.7 stars across 174 reviews), and required BPPE regulatory disclosures. Market position is anchored by multi-agency regulatory approvals (CDPH, BVNPT, BRN) and AHA Training Center status, which together enable same-day certificate issuance upon exam passage and support stated student outcomes including successful National Healthcareer Association (NHA) certification exam passage and CNA job-placement assistance.
