      Your pushed so fast to enroll and start before you get the full opportunity to do your research before beginning class. I've also found out from reading Job postings that who ever gets you enrolled gets a commission. They push sales experience on job postings. This clearly explains the pushy enrollment with just a hint of intrest of furthering your education.Outdated Programs and Expensive Books: The program content felt very outdated, and it was clear that the curriculum had not been kept up to date with current industry standards. Additionally, the cost of textbooks was very high, yet the same books could be found cheaper on the same website CDI College usesexcept with lifetime access instead of the temporary access provided by the college. To make matters worse, one of the required textbooks had been discontinued, and only the newer, updated version was available, further highlighting the outdated nature of the program.Unresponsive Administration: Attempts to address issues through the colleges dispute resolution process were met with delays and a lack of transparency. The administration was unhelpful and seemed more interested in avoiding the issues than resolving them. Additionally, it appears that CDI College has not had a Campus Director since at least March 2024. This prolonged vacancy raises serious concerns about the management and oversight of the institution.*******-Based Learning: A significant portion of the program involved watching publicly available ******* videos as a primary teaching tool. This approach is unacceptable for a program costing tens of thousands of dollars. Why are students paying such high fees just to be "******* certified"?alifications offered by CDI College

      I will be submitting a more formal complaint. I graduated in January ********************************************************** my diploma. I have emailed repeatedly and called, and I always get passed off to someone else who forgets about me. This is a fraudulent organization and I want all my money back, I don't even care about the diploma anymore. The place I did my practicum in hired me after giving them 240 hours of free work, but I am $20, 000 down. I hope the feds shut this place down.

      I hope people shop around first. I wish I had. The same diploma at a BC university will be around $10,000 at most. CDI charged over $40,000! and I'm making just over minimum wage. AND none of the other girls in the office I work with got a diploma, they learned on the job. We all make the same income...

      Horrifyingly expensive. A one-year program for ******************* that is supposed to give you a double certification somehow cost a similar amount to a 4 year business administration degree. The certificate has as of yet not been accepted as a qualification for any of the related jobs I've applied to. Advisors are all too happy to rush you through the process of getting a student loan. Oh and CDI? It's not an acronym. It's just letters.

      I am delighted that I am taking Early Learning and ********** (ELCC) classes at CDI College. Both of my instructors are exceptionally well-educated and have consistently provided tremendous support throughout my classes. Their expertise and guidance have significantly enhanced my learning experience. Their dedication to helping students succeed is truly commendable, and I feel fortunate to have such dedicated instructors.

      I made a mistake spending so much on this college only for them to harass me consistently and threaten to drop you for the slightest inconvenience.The Practicum portion is a joke and so are the coordinators, who want nothing but for you to fail. They don't help and are some of the most emotionless people I've ever met. It doesn't matter if you have Covid or are literally dying in the hospital, these people do NOT care. I wouldn't recommend this college to my worst enemy for the amount of stress and panic attacks it has given me.

      CDI College is awful I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. I had to fight for my student loans to be released this took months. They lost courses I had finished and requested I retake them. They completely forgot about me and I was never contacted for my practicum. I graduated a year later than I should have because of this. They don't respond to emails or calls, as a online college this is the only way the student can make contact. Basically they just want your money and don't care about the success of the student. I have never been so displeased in my whole life. ********************** !

      I am glad I have not had to go through the horror stories some people have had to go through. I spoke with more than a few individuals before making my choice, and I am glad that they all informed me not to go through CDI. Do your homework. Its like buying a car, without looking under the hood, be very careful people.

      This college only wants your money. They do not want to help you and guide you as they make out to believe when they call you **** Times a day to get you to enroll. The 3 people I spoke with before signing up promised me the world and then when I asked to speak to those people once they had my money, those people were no longer there. Im completely disgusted that Im 10k in the hole because of this school. All the material is seemingly just taken from online sources that I could have just read for free. I paid 800$ in book charges and revived two 16$ books in the mail. The rest were all online materials from the internet. My instructor was lovely and I truly enjoyed my time with her. Thats the one star.
