1 starThey will say anything to get your student loans or money. They went to court for misleading people and they are still doing the same thing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM COLLEGE. They lie about work load stating its part time and you only need to put 4 hours a day. That's a lie for its 8+ hours a day making it s a full time course not a part time. They will look for any reason to kick you out. Instructors are trash and half of them barley speak proper English. SO thanks to this scam college i have no degree and out 26k. IF I COULD LEAVE ZERO STARS I WOULD!!!!!Review fromLAURA C

1 starDo NOT go through CDI College On-Line. I was promised a graduation and I am told after completing the course that there is no graduation for on-line students. The person working for commission either lied to me or the website that states they honor on-line graduates at graduation is fake. This school worked me like a slave with excessive assignments. During praticum I did 8 hours of daily practicum plus I was expected to do 4-6 hours of homework daily. My days were 18 hour days to get circles, activities, assignments and homework completed. It is slavery with no graduation. Fricking awful experience.Review fromJenn F

CDI College has been a nightmare. Trying for over 2 months to get someone in Finance to call me to go over my OSAP. Left emails an messages spoke to front desk and admissions people an they left emails for finance to get back to me, they even sent emails to higher up people in finance and still I have received no call. When your with a private college the only way do deal with **** is through the schools finance team. So what do you do when these people do not get back to you?CDI College

The school pushes you to enrol quickly due to the person earning a commission for your enrolment, I am now in debt ****** for a program that costs ****** through the Comptia+ program which is all this school uses. The teachers have no idea what they are doing, if you reach out to a teacher you do not receive any form of response at all. You are left to fend for yourself, my current programs are up to 10 weeks per through Comptia but are being shoved down my throat at 3-4 weeks maximum while I work a full time Job, they ask us to read 150+ pages a day, with a progress check ranging from 5-20 in depth questions with 5+ videos ranging from 2-4 hours in length and 3 tests, enrolling the school advised me it would only be 4 hours of work a day max, I am now swamped with over 30+ hours of school work a week, the school threatens to kick you out daily for not attending 1 day but cant even help when I need help accessing the work. The school is cheap, I am currently learning python programming through a course that was done in 2010, the year is 2025, there hasnt been any changes in python programming in 15 years? If I could give this school 0 stars I would. I would never allow even my worst enemy to enrol. They are vultures preying on vulnerable people trying to make a better life for themselves. They are snake oil sales men promising you a great future while shoving it up your rear end with the other hand. I would never advise any person to go here. They promise you a ***** after graduating but to even receive your ***** you must pursue them, practically harassing them for any sorts of follow up. My work colleague who joined the program with me has already dropped out and his wife has earned her diploma in business administration but has been harassing the school for 4+ months about the ***** they promised to her upon completion. I was excited to start here , only to be disappointed in everything bout this school. Now Im back to ******** my daily career. Thanks ***.CDI College

I contacted CDI college looking for information in regard to a program that I was shopping around for. For context I am a disabled individual who works part time and already has a significant loan under her belt from previous schooling. The audacity that this business has is beyond me. First the program advisor says oh Ill sign you up here and now, after me explaining that Im only shopping around and cannot afford this particular program. I asked politely to not be contacted and I will reach out when I am ready.Well. Apparently no isnt an answer to these people. I have now gone through 3 consecutive months of harassment, asking when and if I will complete my admission. I HAVE NOT EVEN APPLIED NOR DO I WANT TO. It is phone call after phone call of me saying Stop calling me, take me off your list, I cannot afford this, I am unable to even pay for this course. Not only am I being disturbed at home, BUT AT WORK NOW TOO. They wont stop. They probably will not stop. I have had 6 separate phone calls asking to not be contacted by admissions advisors ALONE. After the 4th call I got the attention of the DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS, whom not only emailed me but called me 3 times in one day. Again, I made it very clear I do not want to be contacted again. Here I am after the 6th phone call and I am ******. Im done. I dont want your stupid program, I dont want your phone calls, LEAVE ME ALONE CDI COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!CDI College

It is a scam. They are just like vancouver career college. The CEO was also sued before in ********** for misleading students and now doing the same thing here. They are not accredited, they give out diploma *****. Guaranteed an opportunity to work but give you to employers who pay cheap. They also hire your teachers who have no experience or no idea what they are teaching. They should be in jail for taking advantage of new immigrants and students and putting them in debt.CDI College

This College does not stand by their students or their students that have graduated in any degree. They are very disrespectful, no one gets back to you in order for your graduation certificate or transcript. DO NOT PAY TUITION unless you have everything you need before you have completed your course is all I am saying. I would never recommend this college to anyone that I know or anyone I don't know for that matter. I cannot believe that they are still a college and are running programs.CDI College

I'm Currently a student with CDI, and they are accusing Me of having "ai-generated" papers, despite them relying on a inefficient AI detector (Grammarly). I've done my research and connected with numerous people about this issue, and it came to the conclusion that the website they rely on is not accurate, and is told by the website itself that it should not be relied on. It's extremely disappointing to see that because I'm being essentially gaslit into thinking that my assignments are AI-generated, which has caused me major mental distress, and has impacted my grades **************'s a quote from the Grammarly FAQ's under "does AI-Dectors really work?" "While AI-Dectectors can help assess weather text appears to be AI-Generated, currently there's no AI Dectector that can conclusively or definitively determine weather AI was used to produce text."Here's more links from other institutions proving that AI-Dectectors should not be relied on :*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************CDI College

Terrible experience with this College. I was suspended from my program because of a two weeks absence the instructor was aware of, after 4 months of attending class religiously and doing all my work. I was told I could start back after 30 days and pick up from where I left. That seemed a fair solution even if I would graduate later and not with my class.Well, I have piles of unanswered emails, messages and text. I have not been able to restart my program and my OSAP file was also closed without permission.Right now I am neither attending the course of official withdrawn from it and I can't get a straight answer from anyone. No accountability, no help, no professionalism.The program is squished and rushed through in less then a year part-time when other colleges would have the same program lasting two years full time... Some of the courses are literally thought watching You tube video while the instructor is in another class. After countless attempts to talk to someone, I was suggested to reach out to the admission representative who enrolled me at the beginning. We were communicating through text at the beginning always. She would txt me any time of day to push for enrollment. When I reached out for help regarding this matter, she asked me to give her few hours but she never got back to me. When I reached out again, she had the guts to scowl me for using a text to communicate and she had no clue who I was!Please do your research. You will be better off taking an extra year to get a diploma then having to deal with such nonsense. They enroll everyone fast, especially international students, which I feel are given a break on absence, tests and exams as I have observed in my own class. The promise of 84% employment, is also false. Check their reputation online and read the review as I should have done all along.CDI College

I would NOT reccommend this College. I was short 2 work hours for my 240 hour work term. I was instructed to complete a ***** course and obtain a certificate to make up for those few hours and write a paragraph. I did what I was told, but because I had already done those courses through the course work which CDI should know that, I was to pick from the courses, and it wouldn't allow me an updated certificate due to me already doing them. I get told repeatedly the same thing, complete that. I've tried telling them multiple times the issue and I still can't get my diploma/certificate. Almost $16,000 wasted. DO YOUR RESEARCH!CDI College
