Trading Academy - Los Angeles - Woodland Hills, California

Mango 2.

I attended the free introduction and enrolled to the 3 day classes taught by Darren, then 1st time in person CORE strategy class taught by Jordan before end of the year 2024. Feb 2025, I took the online CORE class taught by Nikki, then just last week, I retook the in person CORE classes, also taught by Nikki. I also attended short classes online by other instructors. They have different styles on trading and speed of teaching.

I love the instructors, but I love Nikki a lot! Her trading style, suits my style better and she was patient enough to break the things down using layman terms that I understood better.

I have been practicing on trading with paper trading and made profits out of the skills and knowledge I've learned! I'm still learning and sharpen my skills. I am sure, I will get better and better as time goes. Then, I would use my real cash for it. I'm getting there on my own pace, slow but steady!

I got to say, the decision I made in taking the classes at OTA Woodland Hills Center, was one of the best decision I made so far for myself. Opening new possibilities for me and my future stream of income. It's true the tuition was not cheap! BUT... once I enrolled as the student for the class of my choice, I have unlimited access to the classes and materials, with access to retaking the classes and materials again and again, as much as I needed to!
To me,... That is AWESOME & PRICELESS!

The staffs (that I've been communicating with; Frank, Bertha & Keith) and instructors were amazing! The center was well maintained and organized! Only one minor flaws in class though.. The wiring on the computers and modem, were not installed properly, so sometimes if someone kicked the extension cord, it shut down the computer or internet. Although, it was easy to turn it back on,.. It was distracting!

Other than that... This place and the instructors, helped me established a better foundation for my retirement.

I highly recommend OTA Academy to those interested on learning how to trade!

I had a great experience at the Woodland Hills center, thanks to the exceptional hospitality and professionalism of Bertha Perez. She created a welcoming and well-organized environment that made everyone feel comfortable and valued. Her attention to detail, warmth, and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly truly stood out. It was clear that she cared deeply about the experience of every student. She would also assist our instructor Chris Muldoon with the students that needed assistance. I highly recommend this center and commend Bertha for her outstanding service.

I received a notification about the free 1.5 hour class of this academy at Woodland Hills. I spent incredibly time with an instructor that practically gave a lot of useful information for someone without any knowledge of trade. I signed for 3 days classes at their facility. Here we had Darek, instructor that claimed to be very successful and knowledgeable about a trade. He can be all that, but for sure he was very bad to bring the knowledge to someone that doesn’t have any. He tried to put humour in his presentation, not too successful. Without any concept, without giving any point to the topic, he was starting a lot of topics, and he didn’t finish any of it. The worst of all was their concepts of breaks where they put us in a different rooms with different instructors and talk about anything else than trading. I went twice on those breaks, and skipped the rest. After day one I felt that I’m wasting my time and energy, and wanted to save the rest of the weekend and I skipped the rest. I don’t know if I can ask for refund, but I would gladly take it!

The Woodland Hills location of Trading Academy has been an unbelievable experience for me. Keith, the executive director, is so professional, supportive, and genuinely committed to helping students succeed. I was initially unsure about trading and skeptical about what the Academy could actually provide (especially after charging me for enrollment) — but the more I learn and engage with their approach, the more inspired and confident I feel about this new path.

I just finished taking a 3 day class with Gregory. It was such an amazing experience. He was the most wonderful teacher. The class was super fun and I did not for one second got bored or wanted to skip. He gave us a lot of information and its very obvious he is pro at this and loves teaching. He answered all of our questions. The class was like a family. I just came home now and honestly feel really sad that it ended. So Gregory if you read this, your class was amazing. Thank you. 🌟
