Braxton had a great experience through I.P.A.A. /​Barbizon they learnt how to walk the runway, slate to the camera, commercial and monologue memorization, professional photo shoot and much more. He made it to the next step which was Hollywood Showcase where they fine tuned everything taught through I.P.A.A to get them ready to showcase his talent infront of numerous talent managers an agents. He was at Hollywood Showcase January 2015, signing a contract with German at MGMT Talent February /​March, scored a Father’s Day Omaha Steaks commercial April all over the various networks May and June !!! Pretty impressive from just taking a risk and signing up with I.P.A.A! !!

Due to the manner how my family was taken care of in the process of a refund my feeling is that something is not right about this academy. I called the number provided and never received a call back. My wife did the same. We followed every rule to cancel and over a month and a half still no refund or a call back. No one ever picks up the phone. My family REGRETS ever wasting our time with this service. I would give them zero star’s if a could. Update I think the refund is going through spoke to Victoria. So it may have been messy but should be resolved. Once 100% resolved will update post on the positive view. …

Do not waste your time or money on this organization. They have resorted to entering bogus positive reviews to have all negative reviews of their company removed from the Unilocal Review ratings… Total Scam Company of Hollywood wanna– be’s and has beens.

Me as a student at the school knows that this it’s all just basic training. I mean there are some things I didn’t know and we’re pretty interesting to know but it just seems to simple for me I need something to feed off of like events and all that stuff. It’s a good school but it might not be the right school for me. I’ve learned a lot through the months I’ve been going there but I’m older and I need to get my priorities and my career going I can’t just wait on promises agents said they’d keep I need someone to take action for me someone to be interested so my opinion about this school is ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. Like I said good school but its just not the right school for me

The IPAA is very helpful and resourcefull. They have taught me a lot about the industry and how to prepare for it. I love it. This place has taught me how to be confident and more outgoing then i have ever been. Modeling and acting are my passions and they are helping me develop my talents. I am in a class with about 20 students and each of us are taught and developed with the best knowledge and experienced teachers. I would definitly recommend this school to any of my friends.

From what I understood when my daughter went to the one in Chicago,
It was good. You have to do your research and know what you want for your career. So many people think (myself included) that I can just send pictures and my daughter can be herself, and get on disney channel .but this isnt a pageant. I realized my daughter needed training, and what some people dont seem to get is that for the $ 1995 we paid, my daughter got 2 sets of headshots (great), 40 hours of different types of classes, and the best part, we paid that 1995 tuition for a 6 month course, and shes been going back for classes for a year, apparently they have a lifetime membership so you can keep going to classes even after you’ve graduated, and thats where I saw the value. My daughter now has an agent, who signed her, not because she had a bunch of credits on her resume (though the academy did book her student films and extra roles)
but because she had training, and her agent told me that they were going to invest in her, because we (her parents) had invested in her so… it was a shock factor when we first went in to CPAA but I couldnt deny my daughter a chance, and honestly it was worth it for us, at least in Chicago at the john hancock. Also the classes are only about 15 students deep, so I know not everyone makes it into the academy. We had a good experience and I’m grateful that we now have a more, well thought out career path for my daughter and a whole team behind her. Hope this helps!

This place is a total scam not just for star-​hopefuls but for those looking to be employed by this company.
Praying on young kids and their families with empty promises of stardom and fame? Not very clever and rather Sad. But I bet they still sleep at night.
The post above me By Sofia is obviously a self review.
