What to Bring to Your AJCC Visit
What to Say at Your AJCC Appointment
Be specific. Tell your case manager:
> "I want to enroll in the CNA program at Lotus Medical Career College — LMCC, iTrain ID 32255, BPPE Institution Code 79461413 — in Pomona. I'd like to request an Individual Training Account for the next available cohort."
This phrasing tells your counselor exactly which school and what to look up on the ETPL list. It speeds up the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I go to any AJCC, or only the one closest to my home?
You generally apply at the AJCC that serves your home county. If you live in LA County and want to attend LMCC in Pomona (also LA County), the Pomona Valley AJCC is your primary contact. If you live in San Bernardino County, work with East Valley AJCC or your nearest SB County center.
Do I need an appointment?
Most AJCCs accept walk-ins for general orientation but require appointments for full eligibility intake. Call ahead.
How long does it take to get an ITA?
Once eligibility is confirmed, ITA issuance typically takes 1–3 weeks. Plan for 2–6 weeks total from first contact to enrollment.
Can LMCC help me coordinate with the AJCC?
Yes. Call (909) 625-8050 before your AJCC visit and we'll provide enrollment paperwork, cohort dates, and the LMCC contact info your case manager needs. We talk to AJCC counselors weekly.
