The LA office is okay, the instructors go from branch to branch but I would reccomend going to the Irvine office it is much better in my opinion, the facility is nicer and you run into other instructors more often. At the LA office some of the ppl there come on a bit too strong for my personal tastes. Either way though the education is top rate, it is so much more then just the techniques they teach but it also being able to pick the brain of everyone there and really getting awesome support and guidance when you run into a rough patch. If you have a chance I highly reccommend the XLT too. What class are you planning to take.
