CDI College - Calgary North

I had the absolute pleasure of taking the Travel and Tourism course with Denise Smith as my Instructor. She is an amazing instructor who obviously has a passion for what she is doing! She made the course fun and interesting and has many years of experience in the industry that she shares the best instructor I have ever had! The course was intense and I am feeling well educated to move forward with my Travel and Tourism career!

Thanks Denise!

Don’t waste your time and money in this college, they enroll lots of students and drop half of them easily and you have to pay student loan back for nothing.

CDI College is a rip off! Learn from my horrible Cybersecurity diploma experience and stay away. CDI College will:
1) Intentionally withhold rightful pro-rated tuition refunds to student aid, illegally pocketing loan money no longer designated for their school when you exit.
2) Maliciouly charge phantom e-resource fees like $4,875.60 for 2 semesters in Cybersecurity. What a shamleless money grab and scam?
3) Distribute an unlawful collections claim to destroy your credit.

I have been pursuing a program on Childcare at CDI College for about a year. My interactions with Ms. Kamni Kohli has been wonderful. She explains everything very well. She uses language that is easy to grasp. She has been very helpful.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding experience during the Early Childhood Education program, especially in Level Two – Childcare. Juggling a full-time job and coursework initially seemed overwhelming, but Ms. Kamni’s unwavering support and understanding made all the difference. Her dedication surpassed expectations, providing not only clarity in teachings but also the time needed to excel in assignments. Ms. Kamni’s approach to education made challenging aspects more manageable, and her invaluable guidance during practicum enriched my learning experience. CDI College’s commitment to having such a remarkable teacher like Ms. Kamni Kohli significantly contributed to my positive journey. My sincere thanks to her for being the best practicum teacher – always available, with a caring attitude. Ms. Kamni Kohli, thank you for everything; your timely responses and unwavering support have truly made a difference.

AND

Dear Ms. Kusum Makkar,

I want to express my sincere appreciation for your exceptional teaching during the Early Childhood Education program, especially in Level Two – Childcare. Your ability to make complex concepts understandable and your commitment to ensuring every student comprehends the material has been truly remarkable. At the outset, I was apprehensive about continuing, but your teaching style made everything seem more manageable. Your approach of continuously asking, explaining, and readily addressing questions created a supportive learning environment. I am grateful for your dedication, including the extra time you spent ensuring we grasped the concepts and navigated through assignments seamlessly. I genuinely hope to have the privilege of learning from you in Level Three. Thank you for being an amazing teacher.

Best regards,

We had a nice year with them, especially Denise and Mr Shaoib. Thank you so much for this opportunity with you.

My program is Accounting and Payroll, and my instructor is Emmanuel, he is very patient and helpful, he is always ready to assist whenever you need help.

Its has been my experience with this college especially with miss denise and Mr shoaib was the best teacher they teach me a lots of things. I just want to say thank you for them and I hope i will find my best career after my graduation!

Hi. I would like to say that CDI college courses are really helpful to start a new career.
I would really like to thanks Ms. AMANDEEP SAINI who was my counsellor for the course. She helped me alot throughout the admission process. And as soon as I completed the course, I got the job because of her reference. Thanks alot Ms. Aman for helping me to start a new career.

One of the biggest regrets in my life they told me I would receive a grant on completion of my studies when I finished my program they simply said that the grant is lifted and administrator that told me about the Grant does not work here anymore I have been paying my loan for the past 9 years I'm almost finished paying it off but the amount of Interest is crazy.shame on me for not reading the fine print and not being able to show proof of the grant shame on them for tricking people and advertising false information. Research different institutions, and your choice will be obvious. I don't recommend CDI. These people are nothing short of thiefs

I have had nice experience so far very nice staff. Cooperative. Teacher is very good as well. Understandable. I am in ELCC level 2 and also I have registered in level 3 as well. Teachers are very motivated. Hard working. Recommend everyone very good college.

Great college. I done my level 2 and now I m doing level 3 from cdi college. Great experience. Thank you MIs Erin brown.

I wish I can give more than 5 stars to my instructor For “Immigration Assistant” Mrs. Afshin Mufti.
I sincerely had a great experience I am a returned student and have 4 kids also a full time job and was able to complete my school work thanks to my instructor’s guidance and ready to answer questions without delay.
She did always asked if we needed help or if we had questioned for daily assessment or assignments.
She always encouraged the class engagement and participation.
I strongly recommend CDI college.
I just started my practicum and I felt ready and comfortable capable to work with clients in the first day.
CDI prepared and walked me through all the applications for the governmental funds.
I wish all the colleges and universities In canada treat students with dignity and willingness on helping students succeed.

I had a great experience at CDI College. My teachers were very helpful and flexible with my schedule as I had to work sometimes during classes. Overall I enjoyed it very much and recommended it to others.

My course at C. D. I college has been so far a great experience. I am almost half done my course and have averaged quite good marks. My current instructor Nafis Ahmed has helped me with learning and I feel confidant in my achievements. Thank you C. D. I College North Calgary!

Soroush the professor at mobile and web developer is very good he like to help the student and teach and coach his student

I'd like to commend Nafis for being an interactive instructor. Thank you for sharing your knowledge:)

I am currently enrolled in the Web and Mobile Applications Development course.
I think I chose the right place to learn this field.
Throughout my first book, my instructor Ojagh Soroush, have been very pleasant, patient, helpful and have explained everything very clear to me.
*****

Dr. Soroush has made my experience at CDI college more pleasant and worthwhile. He was not only able to help me as a student but also help me grow as an individual. Thank you Soroush!

It was my pleasure to study at CDI collage, very great experience. My course instructor Ayesha Farooq was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She was able to hep every student with every question we had.

I have been enrolled in CDI taking the MOA course. There were many hiccups along the way with one particular instructor, which the staff reached out to me to corrected the issue. Most of my course since then has been taught by the amazing Ayesha Farooq. This lady knows her stuff! She is so kind and if you don't understand something she will say it in a way that will make sense. Her references are the best. Such as chicken bones and soldiers. She is very accommodating to the needs of her students. She knows when to call you out on your nonsense and excuses as well. If she is on the list for instructors you are in for a real treat. Keep up the amazing work Ayesha. CDI you have hit the gold mine with this one.

My instructor Ayesha Farooq is wonderful, she has lead all my core classes for my MOA course and she was a delight to have as an instructor. She is always willing to help out or explain something if you don’t understand, she really has the students best interest at heart and wants to see them succeed. The past few months with Ayesha have been great, I was a little worried going into core classes that I would get overwhelmed but her teaching style is awesome and she is always willing to accommodate where she can. If you are thinking about an MOA diploma I would highly recommend CDI and Ayesha as they are both wonderful!

I’m happy with CDI school taking the MOA program especially since I have a remarkable instructor, Ayesha Farooq. She is very professional, patient and understanding to the students. She knows whatever she teaches everything about our courses which helps us in our new career after we finish the program. You are lucky if you are in her class.

I am studying Cybersecurity at CDI College - Calgary North, and it is the best college when you need flexibility. Instructors are knowledgeable and willing to help students, when they realize or you informed them that you are behind they do one on one coaching to make sure you are in the right track. When you have change of shift at your work place, they respect your job and shift your class accordingly.

Been in class since January and am doing very well I look forward to the future with my new career and diploma. Tamanna is an awesome teacher and I have a good feeling I'll learn everything I need to.

Thank you, Melissa Hall for being a teacher who cares about what we learn and who we are becoming. Thank you for seeing the good in each and every one of your students. You are appreciated!

Tamanna Malik You are a great teacher who never shows partiality and always treats every student equally. That is the best quality I ever found. You brought a world of learning into our classroom. We appreciate the job you do, and we love the person you are! Thank you.

“They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel. ” Carl W. Buechner

I highly recommend CDI College to anyone who is looking to start their career! Their programs are super fixable, you get to pick the schedule that works perfectly for you. The stuffs are overall amazing and helpful. On top of that I got lucky with my Cybersecurity Specialist instructor (Tamanna Malik) she's patient, friendly and considerate and her teaching methods are great, very clear and concise. She has adequate knowledge about the course, and always lectures with the intent to help you understand the material. Recommending her is a no brainer.

I've learned a lot from cdi so far, I enjoy the fact that I'm able to work at my own pace rather than a strict pace, dealing with anxiety that helps a lot!

Tamanna is a very good instructor and patient with the students and makes learning so much fun. She makes me look forward to the cybersecurity class as she simplifies to make it understandable.

So when I was looking to upgrade my education they were so helpful in placing me where I needed to be. Also the instructor that I have been placed with (tamanna malik) has been so helpful in my education especially with these circumstances (pandemic and all) not does she do her job but she goes above and beyond expectations and makes sure I understand everything and leaves me enough time to ask her questions if needed

I have never been into school for a long time and especially online schooling. But given the opportunity to study again and having to meet other students and an AWESOME instructor, Tamanna Malik, inspire me to never give up on my dream to succeed. Strive hard to be better.thank you CDI North

I decided to take a course in Cyber Security Specialist, I knew it wasn't going to be an easy task. I've had the chance to have a couple teachers but mainly its only been Tamanna Malik. She's an Awesome teacher, always there for questions and basically the nicest teacher I've ever had. I would recommend CDI college to everyone 100% Thanks Tamanna!

I would highly recommend CDI College to anyone who is looking to start their career!
I am currently enrolled in the Cybersecurity Specialist course since February of this year. Our instructor, Tamanna Malik, is a best instructor! She is a very pleasant, patient, and charismatic instructor who has adequate knowledge about the course. She knows how to easily deliver & share her knowledge to students the way we can better understand about each and every topic. Simply, She is AMAZING and deserve honor rewards for the BEST INSTRUCTOR.

I am a morning student in the RTA course at the North Campus in Calgary. My experience with CDI has been great, especially with my Instructor Ruby Mann. She has been exceptional in teaching us and her knowledge and experience has made the subject matter easy and practical to understand and apply. She also keeps us on our toes while still making it interesting and fun. She is professional, but yet approachable and personable. Highly recommend the RTA program at CDI North Campus.

I am taking the MOA course here at CDI and my instructor Rehana Bharwani is very understanding and patient.she has instructed me through excel and professional business writing and has taught me so much. Thank you for all your help

I called two times and everytime I was about to ask a question for assistance to for "their program" they would hang up the phone. There were no zero stars available.

If the price was more suitable then I'd give it 5 stars but sadly its pricey

1st -I started in 2020 so I have no clue how it used to be but I first started a course at SAIT and realized that with my limited knowledge and the way the program was, that I was not going to do very well so after 3 weeks of really trying I dropped it and started a cybersecurity course at CDI.
2nd - Despite negative reviews, I've learned an insane amount of stuff. The understanding I have on the subject and progress I've made makes me have no regrets. Teachers and staff have been great and very helpful. Before starting they explained the fees and breakdown of the course pretty clear. They even gave me time to choose if I wanted to actually take the course
Lastly-there are definitely some stuff I don't like especially the price is a bit high (wish was around 15k max), the program gets modified and for anyone who is struggling or doesn't learn at a fast pace, most courses here will make you regret signing up and wasting money

I took an Accounting Program at CDI North, my learning experience in this school was a journey that became less challenging because of our teacher Emmanuel Echano. He is one of the best teacher here that performs his vocation professionally and a dedicated professor that shows patience and passion in imparting his knowledge. I strongly commend for his love of teaching and helping his students.

Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care. Thanks to Ayesha who I spend the most time with and who teaches me many things. Education is the key to success in life.best college in Calgary.
Thanks to Yasmin who always support me and help me to start my career.

John Volponi makes learning a fun and great experience. He is the most compassionate instructor i've ever met. Everything he teaches us is valuable and we are able to utilize it in now and in the future. I feel blessed to have taken business management and digital marketing at CDI college its been a great experience so far the with the college and instructors. Thanks John for connecting with your students and always being kind, compassionate and understanding. You are great at your job and it really reflects in your positive attitude and big smiles during our classes. Also thank you CDI college for making sure all your students are happy!

It is my pleasure to learn at CDI College and have Dr Nermine Mahmoud as my instructor. She tried to make the technology lecture as much easy to get. I am appreciate her lecture and effort to help students as much as she could.

It's been very good so far, Emmanuel Echano has been tutoring me most of the courses and give him 5 stars. Thanks!

Emmanuel Echano is one of the best teachers at CDI College. He always presented him self in a professional manner within the classroom. He showed flexibility and adaptability with his students. Also, he willingly accepted advice and shared his ideas and learning experiences with us. Good job Emmanuel!

I attended CDI's dental assisting program, during this time not only were they letting go of teachers but myself and my class mates we're forced to try and help each other through the program while our teachers sat on their phones and talked about their previous nights events.

Due to the lack of teaching I started to struggle and dropped the class.

When I went back to set up payment arrangements on what was left on my account and retrieve my supplies we we're made to leave IN THE CLASS I was told they were no longer there.

I brought this up AGAIN later and didn't want to keep paying until my supply's we're returned. I was brushed off and sent to collections. (I have full email evidence of this happening).
I even offered a fair settlement of a full pay off with some money taken off due to missing supplies, not even the full cost of my supplies just some. I was told to deal with collections.

Thank you CDI for not only not returning my supplies, but sending me to collections during a pandemic, even though I was willing to work with you guys for more than what's fair.

I should've listened to the people who warned me about this school.

I wouldn't recommend this school or this, this class is far cheaper at SAIT.

CDI before was unknown to me, through curious in mind I tried to enrolled this school. Upon enquiring the school and they were so acceptable and open to help any student. They help me and i enrolled the CDI College. The professor were all good, well prepared, kind, patient to their students and the course i take today is fabulous but the problem was so speedy and the books we used was all spirit we never touch only by ecampus. We paid all this books but the problem is can we use this books for future reference just incase we want to review again. Thanks and Happy Day!

CDI College has been an outstanding experience. The instructors are encouraging, helpful and knowledgeable especially Flora Sorani and Brandon Bertram are the best. Highly recommend this College

The RTA program is an in depth course of A&P
it is an accelerated program so one needs to stay focused
the Professor is very informed.the only down side is Covid 19 in other words i feel that i would grasp the method and theory even better

My experience to CDI is something I am proud of. From the beginning when I inquired until I started schooling, they are very helpful. They reached me in time if I have some questions. The staffs are friendly and of course, the instructors. They.re doing their best to help me.
Ms. Flora (MOA instructor), thank you for the helping and understanding. Thank you for your hardwork.
THANK YOU CDI.

Vevlene Reddy is very helpful and committed to help students find a job. She is very supportive, considerate, and is always welcoming when talking with students.

From enrollment up until now that I am almost done, I am happy with the assistance given by staff and instructors. Flaws are normal from time to time and everywhere but with my experience here, there is always support that comes along when needed. Thank you Flora for your great passion of teaching and helping all students.

Mr. Peter is an excellent teacher he explains the curriculum in a way that everyone can understand, He also does his best to make sure students achieve their academic goal I highly recommend him.

Not the proper place for a professional like myself who has attended 5 years of post-secondary school with 2 Professional certifications.
I was hoping in this position to encourage students about some of the benefits of vocational focused schools, however, the school is run by a radical group of managers, male and female, who are so criminal in their ways of thinking and encouraging their staff, that I had to remove myself happily from their presence.
Overrated company. Slimey people such as the caliber of a sleazy used car salesmen selling online school programs with 'unlimited' enrolments.
Not worth it. Was also harassed on the way out the door. These people hardly even graduated and look to pick bullying fights still in their adult version of their childhood playground.

The course is very practical, the instructor, MR. Ashok Sidhu, is amazing, and the program facilitators are very understanding. Thanks Mr. Ashok and the whole team.

Honestly always have the WORST experience dealing with this college. Staff are so unprofessional and have zero idea what or how to respond when they're asked a question. You get transfered a dozen times for requesting a copy of your transcript and then they ask if they can call you back before making your payment. The fact that they knew i was frustrated from constantly calling back and still have the audacity to tell me they have to call me back is ridiculous. Also, the college should have a normal 403 number, not 1-800. Literally a waste of time and money this school is.

I am taking Immigration Consultants program at CDI and the way the course is designed is very good, and I am blessed to have Mr. Ashok as my instructor, he is very knowledgeable, passionate and he is not just teaching us what is in the books or designed by the college, he is teaching us for life and he shares his personal experience with us and advices us in a very truthfully and honestly manner.

I am doing my Immigration Consultant course from here and CDI is way better than I expected. Very professional and organized. Our instructor Mr. Ashok Sidhu is very experienced, great in explaining the small details of the course. Highly recommend.

I am pursuing the diploma for Immigration Consultant (online). The college has been extremely helpful in accommodating my needs, as my condition demands flexibility. The college authorities and my teacher Mr. ASHOK SIDHU have made every effort to help me through the program. Moreover, Mr. ASHOK SIDHU brings to my class his personal experiences along with the course material. His approach is not only to teach what the program dictates but he has a future vision for his students, as this program is not just academic, but also vocational. Mr. ASHOK SIDHU formulates questions and practice scenarios from his personal experiences as a consultant for us. Thank you sir MR. ASHOK SIDHU and his management team. You guys are great.

Great experience. Flexible and friendly Institution. IMM Instructor (Ashok Sidhu) is an industry and subject matter expert.
Good partnership and highly recommended.

Nermine Mahmoud is great web development and mobile application instructor. I learned technology from help of Nermine.

I started immigration Consultant course with CDI. I was not sure that how i am gonna perform but with the great help of our instructor Mr Ashok Sidhu, I was able to made it. He has is very helpful and knowledgeable in his profession. I want to personally thanks him and collage for hiring such a good staff. Because it all depends on the instructor and collage facilities. Their online classes are very effective and comfortable.
So i feel proud to recommend CDI for your professional development.

A college is only a building, but it is best when there are passionate teachers. I am privileged to have Mr Ashok Sidhu as my teacher in CDI college for Immigration Consultant course. He is a very passionate teacher and very rare to find these days where education has become a money making business.

Having online classes, since it was my first time in life it was like my biggest worry like not having face to face interaction, with time i adjusted and it really helps it got fun and the course become great

Mr. Ashok is my instructor for Immigration course that I took at CDI Calgary North and he is by far the best!
He has a very structured/objective based, yet highly adaptable approach to teaching, which has been extremely effective. He is super patient and has manner of delivery which I have found very re-assuring but also challenging when required.
I would definitely recommend Mr. Ashok if you are looking for a superb teacher!

CDI college is one of best college I found in Alberta. I am involving in immigration consultant course with this college and so grateful to the college and specially to our instructor Mr. Ashok Sidhu. When I started the course I did not have any idea about immigration consultant, no idea about IRPA, IRPR, OP etc, after finishing 5 months, now I can consider myself with lot of knowledge and it came true because of Mr. Ashok Sidhu and the college. Highly recommended for anybody who wants to pursue study and eventually a career.

The teaching staff and non teaching staff are very helpful and friendly. The content of the program I attended was very intense and relevant. I will recommend this school to anybody.

I am highly satisfied that I chose CDI college for the Immigration Consultancy diploma. Adam was very helpful in setting me up for the online course and I am fortunate to have Mr. Ashok Sidhu as my instructor. Mr. Sidhu is very professional and ensures that each of his student truly understands the content of each course.

I can’t believe it’s taking two days to be able to LOG IN in multiple accounts to start my program and still not be able to do it! The classes start tomorrow! Please be more helpful to your students!

The Best Institution very helpful and accommodating staff and especially to our instructor Mr. Ashok Sidhu who is the best instructor an instructor that full of knowledge and a kind heart.

Thank you Mr. Ashok Sidhu and CDI College for such a wonderful tutor and very helpful person and i like the program structure for study.

CDI has been extremely helpful and accomodating since starting of the course. My instructor Mr. Ashok is very knowlegable, his vast experience as a consultant help us to understand things in simple way with the practical approach.
Thank you CDI for providing us such a passionate Instructor.

Although this program was not as easy as I expected to be at the beginning of the course, but thanks to our great instructor, Mr. Ashok Sidhu, who has activated a hunger for knowledge and wisdom, inspiring me to plan my future to become a better individual, and to our amazing program facilitators team in CDI College. Thanks for everything.

CDI has been an outstanding experience.the instructors are encouraging and very helpful and knowledgeable, highly recommend this College

I have had very good experience with this College, the teachers are very knowledgeable and friendly.
