I saw so many people talking about Mrs. Melissa Lepore Fx and i kept wondering if she is really an expert trader like they say and not a scammer like the others, then i contacted her and i was shocked and amazed that with just $1000 i invested, Mrs. Melissa Lepore Fx helped me managed my account and after 7 days of trading, i made my first withdrawal of $12,900. I’m so happy sharing this testimony with you all, you can contact her via WhatsApp or email and make good profit EMAIL: Melissalepore418@gmail.com WhatsApp:+1 (765) 351-3234

I started the AOD program Oct 2014 and went on to get my Associates also through Intercoast. I had a great experience with my instructor Jose Ochoa and Joe Aragon. The whole experience has been great. I have been in the field since I attended school there and im really grateful to them for their guidance and teachings. Marylin and Katie were a huge part of my experience enrolling. I recently past couple years have had to contact corporate for financial purposes. They have been amazing. Cynthia Vega, Student Accounts Manager with corporate has been such a great help and thorough and very pleasant each time we spoke. If she is unsure of something she refers to her colleagues. I am just pleased with the services I received and encourage anyone to go to Intercoast.

The electrical program is a lot more affordable than most of the other programs and schools in the area of Southern California they also work with WIOA/Workforce development and FASFA to get you a great discount highly recommend you to look into that! Jose Acosta the electrical training instructor is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience in this field! He is very helpful with NEC literature and hands on training! He works with you at your own pace and is there to guide you every step of the way! I would definitely recommend this program to everyone!
