LAPC was founded in 1989 as a computer training school in Los Angeles, California. We have been granted institutional approval from the California State Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education [BPPVE] and by the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA]. To expand the range of opportunities for conducting quality job training toward professional objectives, we obtained federal authorization from Immigration and Naturalization Services [INS] ---now Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services [BCIS] ---to enroll foreign students in 1990. In 1992, we began to offer English as a Second Language [ESL] courses to meet the needs of new immigrants and foreign students in terms of English language education. In March 2002, we began offering an Associate of Occupational Studies [AOS] in Accounting. In consideration of today's rapid growth in technology and the demands for English language skills, LAPC continues to modify and improve its curriculum to meet changing needs of students and potential employers. LAPC has received vendor approval from the following entities: South Bay Workforce Investment Board State Employment Training Panel
