99% of the course is handled by a third party service, TestOut.
Just pay TestOut directly for their courses, you won’t gain anything extra from CDI.
If you care about networking, do Cisco courses from Cisco, not CDI.
I can’t even begin to list everything wrong with the CDI course, their staff, their systems and the costs.
Just take a look at their website and how barren it is of any resources.
You get 0 contacts, and everything is sent by e-mail. You cannot find anything yourself. You cannot schedule anything. I consistently had classes after 7PM for months, then suddenly had them at 7AM.
I strongly recommend you google this place and read every single review… They are not accredited and there is a good chance you will not be able to get a job after completing your course. They are much more expense than other places that can offer you much more. Stay away from this place no matter what… Trust me it may be the best decision of your life.
Hopefully this place gets shut down before the screw over many more individuals just trying to better their lives.
The dean at CDI Surrey told me i could choose an easier course. So i went back to Burnaby to talk to my rep who said that I could change campuses for graphic design. The dean didn’t like that and stated i had to stay in the same Campus. And was told its stay at the Campus or lose my student loan. So I’m forced to be in a class, that i need accessibility in.
The class has both IT techs and web and mobile design development from different stages. The teacher often ridicules me, often rude, compares me to other expectations from within the class. She won’t even allow me to use a larger font or my own screen reader, or its disruptive. Applications that are used, she doesn’t help to set it up for accessibility until 3 days before a course ends. And tells me to download apps that has no accessibility in it. Within the Web and Mobile course, Photoshop and illustrator software are not provided by the school, so we need to use free trials to do our course work with. Content for homework, and exams have massive spelling errors and hard to read. In CA-PTQRS, the progress checks, i can’t hand in on the portal. There is no spot for it, so i have to email the content. She doesn’t even mark my work in a timely manner. I even asked yesterday how do you do the coding for keypad letters for my assignment, only to be met with, oh its not needed. Its easy to do so, just forget about doing it. I wanted to know how for future references as in Java, i need to make another ATM machine.
This sums up some of the issues, that im having.
Also thanks to our program instructor Adam Bhinder (our instructor).
Had a great time!!

Had a great time!!
Thank you CDI for brightning my future!!
I’m student at Montreal branch.
All the staff are going to laying you without scaring.
When you tell them the right things they said you have miss understanding and you are the first student that tell such this things…
Very be careful of choosing this college. In my opinion, joining to this college is going to be waist your time and money.
It would be nice if we can get lawyers here to help the many students.
I would like to know, if one can sue the Government (Education) for not protecting the students.
Do not go to CDI College, Vancouver Career College or VCAD as they may even close down before you complete your diploma, just like Everest College in Ontario.
“….the Vancouver Province has reported on court documents from the Superior Court of California dating back to the early 1990s. In those documents, it was alleged Chung and his companies (Wilshire Computer College) had committed more than 10,000 violations of state business code……”
“The school was ordered closed and Chung, who never admitted to wrongdoing, was fined $12-million. “
“I never admitted to wrongdoing — to this day I don’t,” he said when interviewed ….”
I did CDI in Vancouver in 1999. 12k for the network admin program, I finished it in 5 months, but I had to pay in full to get the paper. Got hired with first job making 40k, stayed a year and after next job was 55k. Now I am in USA after promotion and I am Regional Director making over 120k. Funny joke in my company is where my education came from when they realized what CDI is. However I learned more than what they taught and I learned to sell people on my strength. So I agree CDI is not the best but it worked for me. The course that was the best was not about computers but how to make a proper resume and how to properly and successfully do an interview.

EDMONTON- A group of nursing students from CDI College is speaking out, concerned over the quality of their education.
In December 2012, Practice Permits for seven Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), who graduated from CDI, were suspended by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA). Since then, Bow Valley College, which oversees the program at CDI, has stepped in to re-test those nurses and make sure other students are being properly trained.
Last week, 15 students who were enrolled in the 18-month LPN course at CDI walked out of school. They say the situation at the college hasn’t improved since concerns arose last year.
The students began their course in July and say everything was great for the first few months.
“The end of October things started to fall apart,” said Jenna Bath, a former CDI nursing student.
Bath says their clinical placements were cancelled without explanation and several instructors quit, leaving students to teach themselves at times.
“We’ve gone for weeks at a time sitting there doing absolutely nothing with no instruction, no teacher, sitting in a common area. For over two weeks were told we had to be there, attendance was mandatory,” she explained. “These things shouldn’t be happening in a college where you’re paying $30,000 to get an education.”
“We were sitting in a classroom with no instruction, but those hours are still being counted as instructional hours towards our program. We’re not learning anything, how can you count that as an hour?” added Chelsea-Lynn Ketsa, another former nursing student. “I paid $30,000 for an education, I don’t intend to teach myself.”….. more stories at:

The best thing is that I have been told that CDI provides the placement for you now they are telling me to find it myself and if I dont finsh it in a certain time frame right after my graduation I will have isues with OSAP. Now if all these agencies dont take CDI students how the hell I will ever find a placement and finish it on time. I am not talking about finding a job I am just talking about finishing this school and get the hell out of there. Here are some things you should read on the CDI wep page and how they lie to students.

https://www.cdicollege.ca/about-cdi/why-we-re-better/
all of this is jusr BS. I have been in this school for 9 months and the campus in Mississauga i new it has been open for about 17 months and check this. There have been quite a few people that have graduated but so far there was no grad party nobody got a chance to even get whole graduation costume and I have been told that they are goe do it later when more students graduate well I wanna see that.
CDI is NOT Canadas leading college well maybe if you count it from backwards lol.
The curriculum has NOT been developed by any experts and I know that for a fact.
CDI does NOT serve as practicum hosts.
CDI does NOT motivate you all they want is your money that is their only motivation.
ONe of the students at CDI was told by an employee at CDI that she should sell her car if she does not have money and enroll in the course I mean how fed uo is that WOW.
CDI career services.
https://www.cdicollege.ca/community/career-services/
CDI does NOT really offer workshops for resume writing or job searching at my campus there were 2 workshops related to that and thats it they only did that just to fill a gap or something, They were really BS anyway.
I do not believe that employers are looking for CDI graduates becasue that college is a total joke. Your paying $15,000 $20,000 $30,000 for what? a piece of paper.
Have a nice day people.
Course cost: $11000
Hours of course in school: 880 hours
Now divide the $11000 by 880 hours you will come up with $12,50
The $12,50 is how much I would be paying for this course an hour in class if I would be paying by the hour. Of course I have already paid in full the amount and I am missing 150 hours right.
So now multiply 150 hours by $12,50. That comes to $1875.
That amount is just for one person (ME)
Now of course there are mroe students in the class.
The amount with all the students can even exeed over $20000
So you tell me who is ripping off who.
If you wanna talk and have any questions or concerns about this or other things regarding to private colleges please email me: [email protected]
Cheers
I am just thinking what can be done about all if this. After all the EMINATA GROUP is d
a huge for profit business. I know that there are many students that made many complaints, but there were no dramatic measures done against the EMINATA GROUP probably they schools I’ll never be closed down, wel, at least maybe just one by one. It is really too bad that the ministry can’t really do anything because it is a private institution. To me I learn as I go about this craziness that is going on at my campus. I do have a lot of info thanks through different websites and many complaints agains CDI.
I started this school and was very excited and happy. Now I regret it and think of it as one of the worst decisions in my life. However I think that it was ment to be because now I know that thus situation has its advantages I have learned that I am a fighter that does not quit easily. I know that it’s not only me fighting for this worthy cause and that I believe in myself and I believe that I can win. This whole thing is pretty tragic but also funny at certain times it just the kind of matter where you shouldn’t laugh, but you still do. For me it’s more sad of course and my anger about this is quite high sometimes, but hey you gotta learn to with it.
Cheers everyone.
got a job at the hospital right after she finished…………
she gets 20 an hour and loves her job…………
plus the class was only 5 hours a day ……
she missed a lot of classes too but than caught up on her work really fast
I’m glad I managed to get out in time before completing the program. I plan my family and friends about this school, so others don’t fall trap to this so-called college. Now, I’m stuck with a 15,000 dollar student loan to pay back & no job. I plan on applying to “public” schools in the future. I had a teacher who claimed to have been university for 7 years and 12 years of experience in their field. However when my class got handouts for assignments etc. I could find this information from several sites. The information wasn’t even theirs. Never again will I go to another private college.
Personally, i felt that the meeting with MTI was the most comfortable and informative. VCC felt a little pressuring and intimating for me , CDI , now i know from this site to avoid them.
just my 2 cents
Employers want official vendor certs, not college diaplomas. I gurantee this statement.
My advice: study on your own, buy the books, 2 computers (3 is better) and challenge the real vendor exams like CompTIA, Cisco and Microsoft when you are ready. You’ll have more time to study and you’ll save thousands.
Im thinking of taking the pharm tech program at CDI for their Burnaby campus as well i’ve called the BC Pharmacist Association and said that CDI is accredited just like VCC, im on the waiting list for VCC which is 2 years, i called into CDI and they told me the program is now 17,500. which includes a flight to Ontario to do a practicum there for 2 1/2 weeks. How was your experience with CDI burnaby? im trying to get as much information as i can because i dont know if CDI is worth forking out 17,500 for and i really dont want to wait 2 years + for the VCC program?
thank a bunch
“Truth about CDI College”
“Vancouver Career College Complaints”
“University Canada West Complaints”
Coincidents? I think not. These are highly orchestrated scams. Same owner Eminata Group, same management, same M.O, hundreds of complaints, lawsuits, and abuses to maximize profit from students. Facts are facts, these are not false accusations, or hundreds of students happen to know each other. Go figure people. Wake up, you Zombies!
FIGHT BACK. DO SOMETHING AND STOP WHINNING

Mr. Peter Chung, Executive Chairperson
Eminata Group
1800-400 Burrard Street
Vancouver, BC V6C 3A6
Dear Peter,
SUbject: Unethical, Integrity Issues, Unfair Practices and Unacceptable Behavior
“It is not known what “PRIVATE” college you received your education from, but it is obvious that you did not gain any schooling on people management. Your managerial skills are so poor that your employees are surprised that you have survived this long in the corporate world. Sometimes they question the intelligence of this company for hiring such an incompetent individuals such as yourself.” – common quote from the majority.
The purpose of this letter is to notify you ALL but most importantly Dr. Peter Chung about what upper, middle, and lower management is doing behind his back and the negative and devastating effect it’s about to take on the company(s).
We’re a group of people who work for the EMINATA group and a large number of
students who have attended a school at some point owned by EMIN AT A group who have decided enough is enough. We have started a systematic attack on this company to make things ethical and fair not only to the employees of the company but the general student body and public. We are giving Dr. Peter Chung an opportunity to learn and take personal responsibility as to what is happening behind his back and most importantly to make things right. So the same mistakes are not repeated from the past like they were in LA. We wish someone had given you heads up and we’re very confident you would have
resolved the issues in a proper and ethical manner.
Let’s start with unfair practices:
Mid and low level management hires who they want (friend, girlfriend,friend, family, ex-coworkers) and this is by them deciding which positions to advertise and which ones not too. Their qualifications are always overlooked and rest of the people are asked to cover for their work because they’re “NEW”. We demand that you ask your staff and get a consensus of who hired who and who do they know within the company and if they worked together elsewhere.
Campus directors and most new regional directors have no clue as what PCTIA policies are and are always breaking them but most importantly what can really get EMINATA shut down entirely is the FACT that both regional directors and campus directors COACH the staff to fool PCTIA. We have a proof of this in mwtiple forms and we are 100% confident that no court system will throw this out the window. Campus directors are not following exam policies written by the company when it comes to students failing
exams and are not unifonn. We have proof some directors make indirect sexual favors to give an attractive student another attempt where if a unattractive or old student it’s a complete NO.
There is way too much staff recycled from SPROTT -SHAW, VCAD, AI, MTI,
ACADAMY OF LEARNING, etc. Think about it this way, if these rejects were not
successful their why do you have them hired here? Are they friends perhaps? Someone else’s garbage is now your garbage and you’re paying them to keep this garbage. People like Vic Tesan have infested this company by bringing in his friends and family who have gotten more incompetent heads into this company. Did you know they have also gotten free education for their family and friends as well? A fair practice would be to hire and promote within if you want success. There are a lot of dedicated staff that should be promoted. We have a list of most of the people who have hired in this manner and they know who they’re and majority are struggling to gain control.
Remember the person you hired to run your company is the same person who was
bidding against you with CCI to buy it out under your nose with this “investors”. This is how the price was driven up and Randy Cox couldn’t come up with the funds to outbid Dr. Peter Chung. Talk about sabotage, and we have voice and video proof of Randy blabbering his mouth about going public so he and his hired friends can take control of the company because they them you’re a cheap Korean Jew. This is the best tip here alone is worth what you’re going to spend in legal fees.
Since our numbers have been growing faster than we expected we have decided to fonn a student union because no one should be treated unfairly and to get Employment Standards involved we the majority employees are fonning a union to put an end to unfairness. We are watching all levels of management and keeping detailed records and if changes are not made and implemented within this month class action law suits will take place from both employees and student side and we would hate to see this company repeat it’s mistakes and get crippled twice as it did in LA. We want to see all the incompetent staff from other schools fired who keep bringing in their friends and bully the old staff.
You have staff from other institutions that constantly talk to their friends and share trade secrets on how EMINATA operates. We have recordings of this and campus level staffis willing to take a stand to this statement. There are also plans to take control of the company as soon as it goes public. Someone is having power/control issues.
Student Issues:
Integrity issues due to campus directors no following policy and giving students false hope as there are too many ESL students that are setup to fail by sales people and this practice is promoted by the campus directors and DOA.
Too many mid-level managers hired who are friends of rejects from other organizations. Basically the staff keeps changing every few months and students are frustrated because they’re promised different things by different people. The directors are not taking responsibility .
Students feel frustrated with the campus directors because they cannot fulfil what has been promised to the student. Students are being enrolled in a unethical manner sometimes two or three months before their actual start dates. This leaves huge gaps in their schedules and student load frowns upon this and will be notified. You are messing with innocent people and their lives by wasting someone two months of time and messing up their car payments or mortgage payments.
Student body has determined that this company’s goal is profit or market dominance at any price because there are more students now under new ownership that the reps have brought in who are crap quality and don’t deserve to be in school at this point in their life because they lack the basic reading and writing skills. Students have complained the fact
reps are helping students cheat with the entrance exams and make them do it over and over.
It has come to our attention that a certain DOA has sexually engaged Vancouver students and staff and as a reward they’ve been promoted. DOA is a piece of garbage that hits on every student and makes negative and sexual comments towards students and staff. Sexual favors have been performed and documents. He has been seen drunk with students at bars and touching them in a very inappropriate manner. Proof and legal action pending …
There is no consistency from campus to campus and staff should have a good command of the English language! Students should be qualified thoroughly before being accepted and same with the staff.
EMINATA group is cheating student’s hard earned money by setting them up to fail by playing tricks to get them in. This is on your conscience Dr. Peter Chung.
We’re watching you and change is required immediately, this letter is being forwarded to many authorities and to the competition. Ie PCTIA, sprott shaw, Korean council, BBB, Board of trade, CTV, MTI, Stenberg, global, CDA, pharmacy/medical authority, all employers who hire your graduates.
Sincerely,
Occupy Campus ….
We are watching to see changes. In 2012 you better make changes before you go IPO, otherwise image, impression and public reputation can be easily tainted. We will be keeping a close eye on your businesses.
Peace!!
good reviews here IMO…this and on another website not a single good thing to say about CDI? that’s wrong man.
But this little interview will be fun…:p go in go out..am not gonna sign up…been in this situation before (waste of money, time) don’t wanna get back in the same routine again.
In addition the staff in this Bull s**t college play sneaky smart and work in team to nail you if you get started to query any thing about their low standed operating system or any related issue.
Iam glad that I got admission in Kwantlen college for Technology Program. Unfortunately they will not return $150 admisson fee. They make you sign legal papers Man!!!
I have also noticed educational enterprise ( School Team Memembers of Canada )warned everyone in red writting to avoid this CDI College including Vancouver Career College. Canadian government should close this type of Rip off coleges.
Now I have changed my mind not to take CDI College, I rather choose some other school instead. I swear these school really sucks, Big time money making process school.
They show you dreams that are not fulfilled.
CDI made all efforts to rip me and my career apart.
In my experience A LOT of places won’t hire you if you got your diploma at CDI.
This place is a s**t..
Plz save your lives peeps ..
bunch of liars !!!
This school is the worst school ever, filled with unqualified teachers and financial advisors who have no idea what in the world they are doing!!!!
I attended in 2010 .. had Sim Minhas as a teacher.. all she did was joke around about her own life all day and not teach a single thing SOMEBODY SLAP SOME SENSE INTO HER WE DONT CARE ABOUT UR LIFE !!!! that ugly ogre looking monster with the messed up body shape and face deserves to get fired for her unprofessional behaviour.. your supposed to be a teacher not a tranny clown!
Unfortunately since you went to CDI College, your diploma from there might not even be worth the paper it’s printed on.
I attended this campus. Dont waste your time with this school. The instructors are there but they arent actually there for you. I had a teacher named Amrit. Who was a complete cow. She was constantly snotty, told me things, and told other students to do it a different way. She had an pretty easy job i could have done. How hard is it to know what to teach your students, multiple times we were given tests and there were pages on the test of stuff we never got taught. So they would tell us to skip over it never teach us it, and give us the full marks. When we had tests or exams by Amrit the whole classes average would drop miserably. She didnt take time time for lectures, or reviews. i dont recall once ever being in the classroom for more then 3 hrs. The Dental Reception course at CDI is a complete joke. This course was suppose to be full time 5-10pm, Monday-Friday. But its not as it seems or as they tell you. The admins that help you enroll dont give a crap the only reason they are there for you is to make the sale. your there commission. I heard of admins taking there time to see possible students for an hr or 2, then the person says they want to check out a few other schools. The admins are so high on themself and their wage that if you dont take the spot right then they wont recieve you call afterwards because you cost them money and wasted their time. Well we as students are paying out our asses for what you want \”Good Post Sencondary Education\” But if fact were get the worst treatment ever. You speak your mind and tell them how you feel about how they are running things they jus write you up. You continue to speak your mind you get the boot and still have to pay the rediculous amount. My course took me 7 months. When in theory if we were in class for 5 hrs a day like we were suppose to be, not 2 hrs, guaranteed we would have be actually able to finish the course in 3 maybe 4 months tops. 9600.00 for a course you can take at BCIT for 3300.00. If you can find some better place to take any course take it there. Dont waste your time money or effort on this place they call a college. The only teacher that was worth mine or the other students time was Donna. She would make us stay full class length, actually teach us stuff that was on the exams and tests, she would follow through with reveiws for tests, lectures, anything you needed help with you ask her, shed be right there to help you. Monica and sonica- What a joke family those 2 are. You are being taught a computer course well 3 by these two retards. Windows, excel, and Introduction to windows, we all taught ourselves. You pay an extra 2000 dollars for the rad module and you have a choice whether or not you want to take, but not whether or not you want to pay for it, you have to pay for it. The stupid thing about having this module is you cant use it in a dental office, they will not let you. Dr.\’s Hygenists will not give up money they can make for some receptionist to take x-rays. All in all i have to say to anyone planning on starting a course or have enrolled in your course but havent paid yet. Drop-out, dont enroll yourself, youll never forgive yourself for not listening to everyone who has posted posts of this bullshit school. Check out other campuses comments too, burnaby, every campus owned by Eminata in canada is like this, i have seen so many posts about this joke of an company. I just wish i would have seen the posts before i enrolled in this course. I wish more than anything there was a way to go back in time, because if i could do it all over again, would i do it differnt, hell yes i would!! All these posts about this school are not bullshit, this school is bullshit! Like the girl above says, They need to change there Logo from \”CHANGING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION\” to \”DESTROYING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION\”!
. It is nice to know not to waste my time.
