CDI college is one of Canada's major Private Educational colleges with
more than 30 locations across Canada.

I am interested in knowing the QUALITY of its IT training programs

 I need specific information on the following:

 - Quality and Education of the IT instructors 
   (brief background on 2 or 3 instructors would be great)

 - Summary of no. of IT related courses offered by CDI College 
   and very brief breakdown of Curriculum.

 - Amount of Classroom INSTRUCTION a student can expect per day?.

 - Specific help in achivieving formal certifictions (Microsoft , CISCO 
   etc) 

-  Examples of 3 employers who have hired CDI graduates (IT) because of 
   gaining a CDI diploma?

-  How are students measured in terms of exams and Instructor 
   feedback? 

-  How are students Measured in terms of project work? What feedback will the 
   instructors give to the students so they can better handle their 
   projects?  Brief example of a typical project   

-  If a Student is struggling with the course material what help will 
   instructors/college provide him/her?

-  For any location ratio of instructors to non-instructer CDI 
   employees?

-  Duration and Cost of Current courses?

-  If a student has a complaint about the college/course /instruction , what 
   avenues do they have air their complaint?  

-  While doing the program , opportunity of getting real industrial 
   experience with actual companies (either paid or Free)?

Please note I need specic answers to each of my above points.
I do not want an answer to any of my questions just by reference to a
web site. I am OK with reference to a Web Site so long as it
specifically backs up then answer to a specific point.

Many Thanks for this

Hello again Mongolia,

I took a look at your question because I had tried to answer some
prior questions about CDI College. Here, you?ve posed 12 questions and
some of them are most likely unanswerable. Because of this, I doubt
that any researcher will make more than a cursory stab at answering
this question as posted.

I suggest that you modify the question and offer payment for whatever
a researcher is able to find. For instance, I could provide you a
complete answer to your second question, ?Summary of no. of IT related
courses offered by CDI College and very brief breakdown of
Curriculum.? As currently posed, I can?t post an answer because I
don?t have anything for the other 11 questions you?ve asked. My
proposal is that I post what I?ve found in the comments section on
this question and then you ask a new question directed to me so I can
get partial payment. Adopting my proposed approach might get more
researchers interested.

Your 12-part question is tough to answer because private career
colleges like CDI have a troubled and controversial history ?
sometimes for very good reasons.

It looks like you?re trying to find objective information to sort out
reality from the invective. I think it will be possible to find
answers to some of your questions, but not all.

Please let me know how you want to proceed. I look forward to your clarification.

Many thanks for your comments. My sole reason in posing the separate
questions under one umbrella is that they are closely related. I do
need most of the questions answered.

I will however take your advice and start to post separate questions.  

Regards

Mongolia
