The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

In the conclusion of my recent complaint about the service I had from CDI College during the year and half (2013 to June 2014) it is not based on the huge amount of money that I had lost, it is more than that, much more than dollars bills. It's about my dignity, my values, my self esteem, the trust I had in these peoples that I pretend to be honest while there were hidden lies in the way they talk in the way they behave.

I remember that as soon as they've been completely paid, as soon as the 17 000 dollars was in the bank, they didn't act the same. Some of them show their true colors in my point of view.

I would not write this lines, if I never would never did anything in the actions I made in meeting the direction and talking about the problems I had with the instructor responsible of the daily group i was in. How many time i ask what it can be done either by me than by them. Asking if there were some kind of services who could be possible in the moments were I had face in pain and in indifference. These misunderstanding of what my instructor wanted me to do.

This one doesn't gave anything but asking me to prove him that I understood.

Understanding some parts that he had to explain before some home works. He gave these basic but essential explanations to a bunch of student who where in his "grace". These students were not treated the same, especially those who were paid by government institution (CSST', Immigration, SAAQ, etc). and those who were kind of friend with him.

I talk about his lack of support, about the absence of cooperation, the amount of time he spent about anything else than what he was stand for : Educating, giving support and some help when there were situation. All the time this guy spent taking about games, about youtube, about how excellent the power programmer he claimed to be. Being more annoying than everyone one else in the class, talking loud and the most of his time when he was at the College. He spent so much time chatting with peoples that I came to a point where I asked myself how come this guy still have a job at this institution. Peoples look at me like someone who have a hard time understanding, someone who have to be take pity on. I have worked about 15 years in the past as programmer in large companies but my diploma was to old and this was the reason why I was there, making a new diploma. .

I was the one to be treated with disregard, with nonchalance and disrespect so I decided to do the best that I can, without asking him anything, to make the best that i could to achieve each and every courses that i have to do. It came to a point where i was asked to redo a program four times. Four times this was not enough, and through all this abusive behavior, I told it to the direction and it went to a point where I made a complaint to a regional director.

Things began to change when this regional director saw how far this instructor went in changing the rules that we already signed in a document called PIEA. Cause not only, this instructor was abusive, but he was nearly making a power trip, in making more restrictive regulations, more sever rules, making his own rules against this document who stand for something who can't be changed only by a group of peoples who are responsible and the only one who could be involved in these rules and regulations.

But it was too late for me. When the direction asked me for the first time, on their own behalf, to meet me, it was like i never met them in the past. I was mostly rejected from the College but they accepted a last chance for me. A chance ? A chance after all i have made to ask for help, ask to be heard, a chance after all they heard from me, all they knew about the instances and the non acceptable situations that i told them during the year 2013 on several meeting with them. They were hearing me, but it seems that they didn't give a ###. .

Finally, some weeks ago, i was asked by them and they told me that there were no future for me at the College CDI. Doors were closed to me in every demand that i would asked, like for example, having the possibility to make a diploma in network management. They told me that they did it for me and for the College, and they couldn't accepted me in any other courses.

Now, I face a lack of self esteem, I lost a part of my dignity, my reputation have been soiled, I have lost all my personal investment and I have nothing who could make me employable even if Information technologies is a passion for me, even if I did a lot in terms of projects, realizations in the past. Now it is like I step back miles away from the begining of this course in January 2013 by losing more that what I had before. I am broke in pieces and like I said earlier, this is more than losing 17 000 dollars, this a lost of my personal value.

I will remember CDI College for the rest of my life.in lost, in hypocrisy, in lies, in a total lack of humanism and honesty

I completely feel this. There were times I was alone in the online limbo, and not having grades, responses, comments, or encouragement made each day more and more cumbersome. Especially because I already have mental health struggles and no support system, it is only so much keeping me together right now. And to know CDI has duped me and taken their money and ran, it is disappointing.

I also had bad experience with CDI College, Winnipeg branch. Teacher was disrespectful, unprofessional and the worst part that after some students complained to Administration, nothing changed. It seems like they do not have respect for students in this college.
