InterCoast College West Covina Campus

I have had such a great experience with Intercoast! The entire staff has been amazing. They are dedicated to helping each student to reach their goal. I'm still enrolled, but let me say that I could not have had a better learning experience than this. For people that are afraid of taking that step forward, don't be. You will have an amazing team to help you LITERALLY every step of the way!!! I am extremely happy and thankful to everyone at Intercoast College.

My experience since Marlene Lopez, Student Success partner and (staff) has really opened my eyes to appreciate the compassion and hard work she does for students and other's.she is a great asset Inter-coast College in West Corina, Ca.

What I am embarking is something so much bigger than I could have ever imagined 15 years ago. I'm just getting started. I can't wait for new experiences, new friendships, and just growing as an individual. InterCoast College was a fun experience for me. I enjoyed every module, every lesson, every professor's knowledge and wisdom, and every minute of it. I wish I can name everyone. Everyone is just great. Thank you, to all the people, like Angie Pelayo. Angie, is very energetic and full of life ( thanks for all the Zoom meetings!). Thank you, to Lisa Hawkins in advance, for helping me with internship and making sure that everything goes smooth. Thanks, to Marlene for always checking-in on us and for the inspiring quotes!

Honestly Ms. Lisa is very straight forward she going to hold you accountable, she’s going to make sure you are up to par. She’s pretty much going to make sure you are doing your part. Which is def. a good thing because sometimes I would get caught up with life but she’d be there to bring me back. She tough but in a very positive way. She been very helpful, understanding, and patient. Very much so a recommendation. For that I thank you and appreciate you. Hopefully one who is reading will open up the door to grow, and she will be right there to lead you. I came across some bumps that even discouraged me but she stayed encouraged and pushed me. She continued to do her foot work alongside me and we scored. I can’t express my appreciation. Thank you again.

I have been a student at Intercoast colleges since 2012. When I started, I was 8 months pregnant and thought I would try the trial period for drug and alcohol counseling certification to see if it was something I wanted to do after I had my baby. After the week was over, I found myself signing up. I had a great instructor out of the Carson campus, by the name of Ms. Lee, and it was her experiences and tough love that made it enjoyable to learn. It didn't take long for me to realize that this field was the field I wanted to be in. Throughout the years, I have found myself facing hardships, both motherhood and financial hardships to be exact. I was able to return back to school after having my second daughter and ended up having the same teacher. I was so thankful to have someone familiar to teach me. Upon the many challenges I faced as a single mother, I decided to return to Intercoast in 2019. Although I was far away from the campus, I was able to continue my classes online. The staff has been amazing and wonderful. They are very knowledgeable and patient, they have worked with me all these years, and never gave up on me. One of the staff members at Intercoast that I would like to personally think is Leslie Perez.. she has been wonderful, an extremely patient. She's even took time out of her busy days to talk to me, and motivate me to not give up and continue pushing forward. She has worked with me every step of the way, despite the fear I had of going from campus to online. she was very clear in all the instructions that I was to follow to get me to where I am today. And because of her patients and her professionalism, I am finally finished. Thank you Leslie, you are my girl, and I appreciate all that you have done for me. If I have to recommend any colleges, I would Intercoast a 10 out of 10. I've had the greatest experience, and thanks to them I am now holding an associate's degree in substance use disorder counseling and certification in addiction disorder counseling.❤️💯
