I'll always be grateful to you guys... ABCO was a turning point in my life.... Sam Arif taught me many of the things many of which I'm applying on my current job as a Network Administrator. For example, I didn't even know the meaning Active Directory, domain controllers and stuffs like that. Now, I use Active Directory almost everyday on my new job and I owe that to my mentor Sam Arif.... . Also, when I started having interview, he was there with me all through the journey giving me tips on how to approach my next interview till I finally nailed the it. Sincerely I'll always be grateful More...

From: Florencio Contreras III

Mr. Pascal,

Hi there, I’m glad to say that I been pretty successful with the Web Design industry. What I got into here is a really big opportunity for myself at the moment and have put together 2 websites for a Law Center in the city of Downey. The Gentleman who I work for is offering me an incredible deal so when I started to think, of course, your name popped into my head because of your godly knowledge of SEO and Optimization. Now currently he has put my nose to the grindstone pretty much just having me to put together these websites. The Objective I’m facing is kinda as follows.

He has 2 websites that he has as bread and butter websites. which pretty much are pay per click websites and is rather normal and you are probably not going to laugh at it, but he spent 30,000 dollars on PPC. Yea, So, my 2009 SEO Class I took with you still have a big impression on us today here in 2017. It’s so interesting when you told the class that by 2015 most people would be going to Organic Websites rather than PPC. But really in my opinion it’s getting worse.. I find lots of people abandoning their websites and getting screwed by their so-called webmaster. Did you even know that there is a long beach based club meeting every once in awhile while their club name is OUT OF WORK INTERNET JOB. I think it’s funny only because first of all, they should have taken your course and wouldn’t be sitting in the coffee house like a bunch of geeks and fools. Ha ha ha just kidding.

What I’m really doing is really hoping you give me solid advice as what to go on and some tips as of how to, and maybe a little knowing of what inexpensive add ons I can use in order to get this website off the ground. Here are labeled as 1 and 2 the both websites that I made him and Please can you offer me some sound advice. I can even maybe offer you some compensation at the law office expense.

Thanks, I know you’re so such a busy person and always helping people. Would be nice to get some solid input from you.

Thanks Again,

ABCO technology is an outstanding school. Students learn not only by the lectures but also by performing hand on practices where they get trained to implement and also troubleshoot real life issues. During the Android APP development class I was faced with many challenges and the instructor(Arif) always went the extra mile to make sure that I fully understand the subject of the matter. Having finished my training I was able to become a certified Android App developer and was not only able to submit APP to the Google Play Store, but also take on the code challenges that well knowm companies gave me to take on.Charles Pascal is a very knowledgeable and caring counselor that not only teaches one how to make a resume to properly match their knowledge and the skill that he/she has acquired at ABCO, but also how to present oneself in an interview with confidence and demonstrate the capability to take on the tasks at work.Overall ABCO is an excellent for any one who is willing to become an IT professional in any field - being a Network Engineer, System Administrator and/or a programmer. The training at ABCO prepares students for professional jobs that require skilled individuals and sets its trainees in the path of success and accomplishment in the field of IT. More...

I went to school here in 2012, and the staff will still help me out if I need it. To me, that's proof that they really do care about their students.

Yessssss, before I joined ABCO, I saw all these reviews but I never wanted to base my judgment on hear-say and I gave it a shot.  From the hustle of being a security guard, shuttle driving, Uber-LYFt and Warehouse grind....Every other day was grey. ABCO has illuminated my future with hands on experience to manage and administer Networks. Without an IT background i just got hired as a Systems Administrator and all this is because of ABCO. From Robert(A+),Henshaw(CCNA)Arif and Ralph(MCSA)I owe you ONE!!! More...

My time here at ABCO has been a good experience. I don't come from an IT background, but I was looking for a career change. Initially I was concerned that I may not be able to keep up with the class because my job experience had been on a different field. However, the instructors are have been encouraging and always there to answer my questions. What I really enjoyed about the classes were the hands-on labs that allowed me to visually see and walk-through the scenarios, and in my case, I learned much better this way. In addition, the study guides for the certification exams were very useful that I felt comfortable walking into the test room and taking the test. Long story short, with the help and guidance of ABCO Technology, I was able to complete my Oracle DBA certification. More...

I just completed my HTML Photoshop and Dreamweaver classes here. I must tell you this place is excellent. The training was very systematic, and step by step. I loved the project idea, which helped me a great deal in learning photoshop and web designing. I'm going to continue to sign up for the CIW. I'm very picky about training , and I'm usually the one asking many questions. This place is really the best secret in town. It helped me in getting my career started. I must say the instructors were very helpful. If you want to learn web designing or IT,  I would enroll at ABCO for the best training. More...

I attended the CIW program at ABCO technology to learned the fundamentals on e-commerce with the purpose to getting into the online sales industry. I had a great time there, and learned so much. Because of this training I was able to get a job as an e-commerce sales representative in a large well known auto retail company. I highly recommend the school. Do not expect miracles, expect to put in time and work. Instructors are very clear from the beginning that it isn't easy and that you have to practice. Thanks ABCO. More...

I was a student at ABCO back in 2012 and finished the Certified Internet Webmaster course. ABCO actually got me a job after I finished. It was only temporary, but I found another, permanent job a couple months later. I work in a different industry now, but I still make websites on the side for some extra cash. I've gone back to Arif a few times since I graduated and he's always been willing to help me out.They go over A LOT of information. My only critique would be that maybe they could make the course a bit longer because of all of the information to absorb. But I learned a lot there. I am naturally more of a designer, and some of the more advanced coding was tough for me. But I can now confidently create a website, and know enough PHP/MySQL to make it work.I've only had good experiences with the staff. It was well worth it for me to go to ABCO. More...

ABCO is a great choice when wanting to enhance your skills in the IT field. My experience at ABCO was great. Not only did I had an instructor that cared about me learning the material, but also took the time to explain and showed me visually with the lab. They prepare you from beginning to end so that you can succeed when taking the certification exam and when going to look for a job. More...

I am now a certified CCNA thanks to ABCO Technology.... I have been trying to earn this certification since the last 1 year and I have attended a few schools but have failed miserably until now.  So I would like to thank the Cisco professor and the school for helping me obtain this certification. Attending the  Cisco CCNA class from ABCO helped me understand all the complicated concepts, and I gained thorough understanding of all the Cisco commands and other router functions that are used commonly. Lectures and Labs really helped me with the knowledge I needed to pass the exam.I would like to share my experience in detail about ABCO and what makes this school different from few others I have attended -1) Small classroom sizes, private instruction from live instructor - I had the opportunity of learning in an almost 1 on 1 basis with the instructor because there were 6 total students in class. This helped greatly because I got the answers to all the questions I had right away. It also really helps to have a live instructor present at all times in the classroom and this is the best way of learning, unlike many other schools where I had to watch an instructor on a monitor and the instructor was never on site and I couldn't get many of questions answered. 2) Motivating and helpful staff - The entire school staff is also very helpful as they helped me with ordering my books and materials, they also assisted me with updating my laptop and installing labs on my computer which helped a lot because I could continue to study and practice at home. They also provided me with exam prep materials which greatly helped me in passing the much dreaded CCNA exam.3) Full access to labs and computers systems 7 days a week - school stays open 7 days a week and till 10:00 PM for most nights. This allowed me to continue studying and completing the labs during the days and some evenings which greatly helped in passing the exam. I had full access to classroom computers, routers and labs so I could concentrate on studying. Also when I got stuck a few times someone was always there to help me.4) Free class retake option- the school has free class retake program through student has the option to retake and attend the entire class for free for a second time. I was given this option but I didn't need to use it since I passed the exam on first attempt, yayy :-)5) Job placement - now that I have graduated and I'm certified, the school's job developer is helping me update my resume. The school counselor sat with me and explained in detail on the current job trends, and provided me with great tips on what I needed to add/remove on my resume. The job developer provided me with great job leads and I have a few job fairs I am scheduled to attend. Having said this I have to say that to successfully graduate and pass the exam is a shared process.  Let me explain-Tips to succeed-1) Prior Knowledge - prior to attending the schools I had worked in the technology field for about 2 years on and off. So I had some knowledge and understanding of computers terminology and networking.  Also I had attended a few network fundamentals classes before , this really helped me catching on the terms and understanding class topics. So for new beginners , I would recommend to start by taking some network fundamentals training and classes and you can talk to Schools counselors , admissions reps for guidance.2) self study & practice - In addition to attending the classes I put in some extra time during the week to study and practice the labs.  I would say I spend an extra 8 - 10 hours per week studying and practicing router sims to understand concepts. This is what helped me gain confidence and learn the materials better.3) exam prep-  even though the school provided me with exam prep materials and questions to study from , but the professor had clearly explained that we shouldn't just rely on the exam questions to pass the test. We had to completely read the book , take lot of notes in class pay attention and practice the labs in addition to studying the questions. I followed the advice and that why I passed the exam on first attempt with a high score of 902 :-)So to conclude I want to say learning is a process that involves both the school and the student. So to succeed , students should take classes seriously and put in full efforts of studying.Once again thanks  ABCO , our Cisco professor Mr. Emmanuel and the staff for helping me accomplish my goal :).

If you are looking for IT training in LA , I recommend ABCO technology, they provide hands-on training, a wide range of courses and certification programs, the instructors are very knowledgeable and their prices are definitely competitive.
I took the CIW program and I’ve completed it in about five months, I have learnt so much more than what I expected to learn in such a short time, it opened me a whole new world; to get into the IT field has been a great choice, there are so many opportunities and there is so much to learn that you would never get bored!
I don’t think that you would find the same enthusiasm and flexibility anywhere else, it’s hard to find good web development training, here I have found a great training in php, which is one of the web’s most powerful programming languages.
The instructor was very professional and passionate, he took us through the development of all the most common web applications, It seemed very hard at first, but he gave me the help and the motivation needed to succeed.
I am really grateful for their training and help, I have tried other vocational school before but I have to say: ABCO Technology has been the best one so far… More...
