      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.

      This has been the worst experience I could have imagined trying to educate my self. They never answer emails, they gauge you tuition, they have constant tech errors. I pay tuition then they make me pay for courses and wait to be reimbursed. Do your research before you apply. CDI is trash DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

      CDI you never answer emails, one person does, then she tells me to email another person. You do not satisfy many of your students. Your CEO is under investigation, I did not do my research. I had this naive thought that educational faculty are trust worthy. I would have dropped from this program if the financial penalties were not so extreme. Please do your research before you waste ***** dollars and have constant problems. There is a reason they are not BBB accredited, it's because they lie give half truths and are a purely for profit institution.

      My daugher had the worst experience with *** ****** Campus. She was in the *** program. It was poorly run and disorganized from the start. ****** Campus lost their accreditation at the beginning of the program so she had to change to Vancouver Career College in ******* (Sister College to CDI). She recieved no support, the program was disorganized and eventually decided to withdraw. We spoke to an advisor who told us my daugher would owe $10,000.00 for her student loan for the 5 months that she was in the program. My daughter asked for transcripts but they never produced them. We emailed and phoned and nobody returned our calls or email. Eventually we found out she actually owed $25,000.00. We emailed and called but again no response. I finally had PTBI involved and eventually CDI/VCC emailed the transcripts. It was was a few weeks over the one year deadline so we could not file an official complaint. Nobody will help us.....Their recruiters take advantage of students and do not explain their policies to them. If you complete 30% or more of the program you owe 100% of the tuition. This was never discussed with my daughter and I. We took ***'s word and believed everything they told us when my daughter withdrew. Can you imagine owing $25,000.00 for a course you were enrolled in for 5 months. This is what has happened to my daugher her name is ***********************. CDI doesn't care about anything but money. They do not return emails, phone calls and are not willing to help in any way.

      As of March 11, ******************************************************** myself about this huge amount owing ($25,000) for the 5 months that she was in the *** Program before she had to withdraw. Recently, she received an email asking her if she would like more information about their courses. It's absolutely sad that they haven't contacted us about this problem but still continue to try and get her to sign up for one of their programs. They have obviously not even taken her off of their email hit list of "possible new recruits" how unprofessional, sad, and once again showing they are only interested in money.
