CDI College Reviews

Worst experience of my life, I feel stupid and scammed for signing up with them. I wish I did a little more research into this place it has messed my life up so bad right now. Please do not go to this school!!!!

Zero stars and minus stars. This all for money and all for student loans business only cares about student loans and does not care about education in my personal experience. Incompetent staff, zero integrity as management, and extremely poor communication once you enroll. They are thieves in broad daylight in the name of education, ripping students off on their loans. Do not ever join cdi calgary south. do your research and read the recent marketplace review.

Worst experience and I highly regret ever joining them. Put out publicity everywhere and trap students for money and once question about the quality of service, collect tuition fees for staring at empty screen. 

Absolutely irresponsible and purely money minded and zero integrity as an institution. Worst decision of my life.......Highly recommend staying away from their traps.

CDI has the worst people ever working for them. DO NOT EVEN TRY, TO SPEAK WITH THESE GUYS.

I need anyone of you that have written a review, PLEASE if you can get ahold of me, It is time we band together and SUE THEM, I have a case against them, They are trying to get 5,000 dollars out of me and all, I did was watch their presentation. They never helped me, I never bought any books, all I did was sign up. Signed their paper work and now they think they have a case, NO THEY DO NOT, I have been in touch with a Lawyer and he said once they put me in collections then I can sue them.

I need anyone in these reviews to contact me so we can get together and SUE them and put them out of BUSINESS. The head owner lives on VANCOUVER and they have been stealing and scamming, INNOCENT PEOPLE for years, TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THIS, MY NAME IS LEANNE, Here is my email, [email protected]

Incredibly frustrating...CDI College is an awful school and very expensive for nothing. The college do not provide good customer services or attend to the student's needs once they have the money$$$. The staff are so rude and unhelpful. It's incredible that they are still in business.

The practicum coordinator did not do anything beside sending the papers needed to be submitted. The practicum coordinator Abinesh, could not even help me in writing the practicum letter request or give me advices about finding a good practicum host. He just said; As long as you're doing something like IT at your work it's still valid for the practicum, making sure he didn't have any work to do. I think we should gather together and expose them!

Most of us sending complaints to the news means more of a chance to expose those scammers. Please reach out to me at mishinata at hotmail dot com with the subject line Together against CDI College. Thanks!

The worst college ever. I have bad situation because of them. This College don't deserve to exist in Canada. They don't care about students and they only care about how they can get money out of your pocket. Its so sad that you use innocent people. You only nice when you try to enroll students. After you got them you, you don't care.

Pls people be aware about this College, do not enrol. This is a joke College, unprofessional, and scammers. Read reviews before you even try to enroll. I hope someone will not get scams a me.

I fell for the scam too and I now I'm stuck for at least 30% of my student loan and maybe more. Just in the process of withdrawing from my course right now. Like everyone else on here I had a very similar experience.

My classes consist of reading a textbook and watching free videos online no actual teaching. Any assignments you do don't get graded for weeks, after you're already in another class, and all you get is a mark no feedback on anything you've done. I figured out that for the 4 classes I've taken so far I could have done it all for less then $300 and had the exact same level of teaching that I'm getting for the 24k they're charging me.

The last straw was this new course I started where I'm again reading a textbook, watching videos and using a free community program for the work and I was finding I was learning more from a free course I was taking online on the same subject then I was from my class.

It sucks that I'm going to have a big chunk of money to payback for absolutely nothing received but glad to be getting away from this so called school. I hope that this site at least helps some people steer clear of this scam.

As a former student, it was the worst education I could ever think about. All they care about is money, terrible teachers and bad environment. I regret ever going to that college and wish no one make same mistakes I made.

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy, these guys made me pull a student loan which I didn't even receive, not sure if they think I got the money but I got jack, they locked me out of the courses till I have them my student loan then just dropped me completely, fast forward a year they say I owe them 14k than 10k than it's going to collections cause I got nothing out of this college but debt, these guys are hard to reach and it's on purpose I feel like it's all just a pyramid scheme.

I took Medical Office Assistant course in 2020 at Winnipeg CDI location. The teacher was not polite with students, besides, she was showing racial bias in the classroom (for example, discussing student's skin color), which is inappropriate for the teacher.

When some students complained to Administration, nothing changed. They do not protect student's opinion and rights. I would recommend to stay away from this college!

Worst Educational Facility you may consider. 17,000 spent on a program, outstanding GPA and performance in the program. It has now been 6 months after graduation and I still don't have a job. The skills taught at this facility DO NOT equip you for your future.

CDI College over-promises and under-delivers. Most of the instructors for the Accounting & Payroll Administrator program don't know the topic they are teaching. Several of the instructors were new to Canada and only read from the PowerPoint slides. Anyone looking at continuing education would be better to go to a different college or get their education online from other reputable course providers.

I really want to thank CDI College Brampton, their instructors and staff, for being a support through all my courses, building up my career. I want to give a special THANKS from the deepest of my heart to: Kavanagh, Rosaleen; Kaur, Loveneet; Al-Qawasmi, Mousa; Qawasmi, Younis; Kalsi, Yash; Sohail, Mahwish (In sequence order of classes I have taken so far) YOU ALL ARE THE BEST! Also I am very grateful that I have an excellent person as an Assistant Director of Admissions for CDI: Nidhi Vats, she help so much through all my path.I repeat again how grateful I am with my beloved teachers YOUNIS, YASH, AND LOVENEET, your are the best!!! Thanks so much for all your time and help!!!!! Stay the way you are and keep the passion you have!!!

I started CDI college in April of 2021 from the start it was a joke I paid 22 grand to take the addiction support worker... for a price of 2200 books you don't actually get a book in your hand you get the books from the computer... I finished my online training in March then it was time for my practicum for 300 hrs that you yourself have to basically find on your own... please let me tell you most places I contacted will not accept CDI college students.

Please do you're research on CDI college and the lawsuits and lack of help and proper education. I finally found a beautiful place of practicum at Emma's house where I worked my butt off for my practicum I got a raving review and was missing some hours due to 2 deaths and covid. Not once did CDI college check on me or ask how I was making out. I asked for my ID 5 times with no response. The amount of

turn over of staff tells you how atrocious that place is I believe I had 4 practicum coordinators while I was there. So I finished my practicum when I was done Emma's house called CDI and they accepted my hours twice. I got a email by the way 3 weeks ago asking if I even started my practicum that's how smart they are? I call and ask when I would receive my diploma the practicum coordinator reassured me I was good.

Then on Friday May 26th 2022 I get an email from the practicum coordinator that they won't accept my hours stating I only had 70 hrs? And they told me to go find another institution to finish my hours I already have after saying 3 times they accepted my hours. He couldn't even call me he emailed that too me... stating his boss said no...

In the meantime it's been a month since I finished and got a full time job with nothing to do with CDI as no one accepts CDI students they once again never contacted me for a month... I am reaching out for people to be aware of CDI college Calgary south campus... Please do your homework on that school... All I can say is shame on them...please help me.

I am overwhelmed with all the bad reviews! In fact I am so disappointed with CDI they do not care about their students. They only care ABOUT THE MONEY! How did the Canadian Government approve this? I'm currently a student . We're left behind with out a teacher online for a course. Nobody's dared to inform us (student). The last teacher we got was replaced the last minute. The school asked us to download 2019 version of a software and gave us 2021 data files to work with? We're left in the dark and with no teacher online how are we suppose to survive??? Can anyone help and bring this case to the attention of the authorities to take a look and investigate this college?

If I could give 0 stars I would. This school has ruined my life. I don't have the energy to even go into my list of complaints because I've been fighting for over a year now. Let's just say that the only thing I have achieved from CDI is a useless diploma (which I don't actually ever get to see or show employers) huge student debt, a bad credit score, no employment and daily thoughts of suicide. Don't do it!!

The law course is poorly presented and formatted. Instructing is minimal. Although I received good marks, there was zero feedback.

Two thirds of the way through, I was told that I was not funded to the end and they wanted another $2,000+. A month later they wanted an extra $7,000+. I told them no.

The school is so bad I can't even give it a star rating I wouldn't even give it a one star.

They are disorganized most of the time the online courses are not completely available on the first couple of days you're supposed to be working on the course.

When you try to get help or support there is none. trust me I've made many phone calls to the student resources and I use that term lightly and been put on hold or told that's not their Department to deal with and moved on to another department and not gotten answers.

Some of the teachers are good but a lot of the times trying to get a hold of them is almost impossible. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else.

This is the worst college I have worked in. They are so disorganized. Their education is not up to the mark. And, their management treat teachers as if they are their servants and they are sweet to you when they want favors from you but they are disrespectful to their employees.

Students should not join this college. It is very disorganized and the education is very poor. They just want your money.

I contacted CDI to take business administration, and all they tried to do was sell me on a course I didn't want and even after I said no they put me in that course anyway, than it took three months to sort out, and by the time was in the course I was supposed to be in I was so far behind I ended just dropping out.

IT IS A SCAM, don't enroll here! They are completely unhelpful, incompetent, and don't care, and this huge mistake of going to cdi will have to be paid off your years.
