CDI College is a system of for-profit colleges in Canada. It offers programs in the business, technology and health care fields.

The schools are owned by The Eminata Group, Inc.

CDI was previously known as The Toronto School of Business. In December 2007, CDI College campuses in the Ontario province were re-branded as Everest College while all others were sold by the parent company, Corinthian Colleges, Inc, to The Eminata Group, Inc. [1]

CDI College's advertisements are not specific to their local markets, and in many cases the courses they advertise are not available in the cities in which they are being advertised. Some employers may not hire CDI College graduates as they may question the schools credentials.

Some students are dissatisfied with the quality of education offered at CDI College and have dropped out, only to discover that they will not receive a refund of their tuition fees. Aaron Laforest was the first dissatisfied CDI College student to successfully sue CDI College for false advertising and misrepresentation.[2] CDI has been ordered to pay him $5,000 in damages plus expenses. The judge said he agrees with Laforest -- that CDI did not deliver as promised and was in breach of contract.
