CDI College keeps one or two campus up to date and lets the others fall be hide in quality, but since one or more campus in Canada pass there accreditation CDI College believes that logically if we offer the course and one campus is accredited then all campuses is accredited to teach this course, because of this poor logic CDI students often quit there course mid way for the lack of a better education and are frost to pay the full tuition, despite signed contract agreements that state otherwise. Many companies in Canada will not hire CDI College Students in the field of technology for “A lack of a better education” and a lack of training. Many courses like Medical Assistance or Accounting at CDI College are not recognized in Canada and you'll have to take the Government test on your own time and money money.
