CDI College”s advisors and recruitment team is extremely persuasive and deceiving, me among hundreds of others without a doubt are told we would come out successful. They show you these BS plaques on their walls of high employment rates but fail to mention the rates are so high because of the amount of drop outs so in reality a 90% graduation hire rate is because 15/20 students dropped out or got kicked out/lost funding and 5 graduated with 4 actually finding work in their field. Ask anyone that has attended CDI College and they would agree. I have very little good things to say about this college, the staff is changed on a monthly basis with “teachers” (usually former graduates) constantly quitting and others be re-hired. I was a student and a graduate of the PLA program, all my instructors were extremely unprofessional; constantly bringing their personal lives to work; except for 1 remarkable former attorney named Tom Toews who was my biggest motivator there. Upon graduation and an embarrassing display of effort from the school it took months to find me a practicum after graduating. After completing it, the career department STILL has failed to get back to me in finding me entry-level work (keep in mind it has been over a year since graduation). I have yet to receive an email of updates or any sort of response after visiting and sending dozens of emails requesting assistance to find work WHICH the college GUARANTEES after GRADUATION. Instructors are constantly slacking, on their phones or playing games on their laptops, there was little to no guidance on work being handed out, no 1 on 1 guidance even though classes are often as small as 10 students. Believe it or not, I had an instructor babble on for over 40 minutes about a party he was at over the weekend whilst explaining his life story and twitter popularity (Todd, quit forever, please, for the sake of students trying to learn) I pray that it is only this location that is extremely incompetent but i highly doubt it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COLLEGE TO ANYONE and I wouldn”t wish this even upon my worst enemy.

Cdi is the biggest scaam they should be sued. Teachers dont know anything they are so racist and never helped me with my pracicum after grad. They set me up for failure and Im getting money pulled ouf of my account every month. The cdi college burnaby all the teachers and people that work there are usiing students to pitch in money for their gambelling addictions. Once I finished school I contacted cdi they said they will get back at me in a couple of days I swear to you they never did. I tried calling over 10 times and they told me the practicum coordinater dont work there anymore . How could you do this to your student I almost suicide because of you guys was in the hospital because I had no job and I owed you guys money from student loans. I almost died because cdi college didnt help me get a job after grad and refused to conact me back left me out dry took all my money and put me in debt .I coudlve been dead!!!
CDI College Reviews & Complaints
Good morning, this email is meant to be received by head office. Im currently enrolled in one of your Edmonton campuses. For the past 6 months my entire class of 17 students have been struggling to dispute our issue with text books, and getting a refund as we either had to go buy our own to use, had them from previous or didn”t ever receive books we were paying for. Our class had gotten a resolution 6 weeks ago when the director and samantha came to our class stating what we were to receive as a a refund and that we would receive this refund within 4-6 weeks of signing the refund documents. Yesterday was the exact day of waiting 6 weeks for this refund and we were all told that we were to go down and speak to advisors about cheques and when I went down there, for one they denied saying they”d be ready in 4-6 weeks however 17 students will tell you the same thing they told us. And two they are saying they are only now sending in our paper work this week which is now going to take much longer to receive this refund and there”s nothing they can do. I”m upset as I budgeted to get this money back (money I wasn”t supposed to pay in the beginning) for my children”s daycare, food and other Bill”s that have been falling behind and now I”m being told we aren”t receiving them this week… I went in 3 weeks ago asking if there was any way I could receive mine closer to the 4 week mark as I”ve been financially struggling at home and the financial advisor I spoke to said I cant make promises but they should be in closer to the 6 week mark as at that time she was just sending our paper work in – that was 3 weeks ago…in the meantime I”m not sure where to bring my children come this following Monday as I now can”t send the money I was told we”d receive. I”m a worried parent wondering how I”m going to feed my children next week. This is not the first time weve encountered issues with this campus, were constantly being told one thing and another thing happening. I”m so tired of the games I”ve had to endure with the staff at the school, and why they feel the need to constantly continue to make ongoing issues for myself and classmates. These 17 students are extremely fed up with all that weve endured in class and with your staff, and we would like something to be done about all of this. Like I told the director yesterday we were told to pay our fees in a timely manner, so they didn”t have to chase us down for payment, and I did so, but they dont have to refund me money in the timeline stated that shouldn”t have even came out of my own pocket to begin with… there is a huge double standard and lack of professional responsibility within your staff. I could continue on as like I stated before this is not the one and only issue weve encountered, however this is our main issue currently that I would like something done about this.
CDI College Reviews & Complaints
Hi this is Saba. I want to file the complaint against college CDI. I took the admission in Montreal CDI Capmus, while I was signing up for the course, I told admission advisor that in future I might move to different province, will it be possible for me to continue with the rest of my studies, she said there”s absolutely no problem. You can change province anytime and continue the rest of the course at the province where I want to move. When I moved to Alberta (new province) I went to CDI campus here and they said that I have to pay another 10000 to finish the course as CDI Montreal and our campus don”t have the same course and cost. As I was new in Edmonton I wasn”t approved for grants. And then I had to stop continue my studies as I wasn”t able to pay 2000 every month. For 3 weeks of studies at Edmonton campus, I paid 1800$. And they said when you can afford then I can continue. I had to stop the studies because of all the wrong information given to me. Now CDI Edmonton doesn”t wanna Co-operate. When I asked for credits, they said they can”t because They can only award credits within one year period of time. I feel like I was ripped of by COLLEGE CDI. I am paying to Quebec student loan since 2014. And I didn”t finished course because of wrong informations that were given to me. If college didn”t help me I will go to the court.

CDI College Reviews & Complaints
I really regret going to CDI College, but as a confused teen I really didn”t know what to do with my life after highschool. So, I heard CDI College offered great programs, and that they helped you find a placement all in less than 1 year. “Great” I thought…boy was I wrong. Here we are 4 years later and I still don”t have a job in what I studied. I took the 8 month acc&payroll admin course, cost $11, 000 and let me tell you, I took accounting in highschool (up to grade 11) and I didn”t learn anything new at CDI (except for payroll, but I”m sure that”s covered in grade 12). This school gave me absolutely NO confidence for entering the field, it was like joke, everyone left early, sometimes even the teacher didn”t know what she was talking about, we ended later than scheduled because of CONSTRUCTION going on in the college so we were cancelled for 2 weeks because of dangerous fumes from the construction! I now really wished I had gone to a REAL community college, it would had been cheaper and I would have gotten a real education. A correspondence course would have been better since 80% of the time I spent at CDI was with a textbook and a computer in frot…I hardly got any teacher student time like they promised. I”m writing this so no one makes the same mistake I did by going to this joke of a college. I wish I had read some reviews before applying, but it”s too late for me, please save yourself from CDI aka Everest!
