CDI eh? I was there when it was still called "Control Data Institute", located at 300 Leo-Pariseau street in MTL at that time... It's been a looooong time! Never found a job in my field of work (programming), it seems that at that time, CDI was not well-seen by employers. I hope it got better - it should have! (Could not really get worse!)

I can't say that I regret it though, I've been programming for fun since then, and it helped immensely for my current line of work - I work with a very large system of Quantel video servers.



I'm pretty sure it's not better now, i swear this place sucks they give you books made by CDI college not the real thing ( like books made for/and ie MIcrosoft, Novell, Mandrake) the computers are old P3's even P2's and they say that we are learning high end technology , the bug in this is i'm suppose to be learning this and i have not worked on any rack servers yet, just simple computers that i installed win2k server on it. It's a self study course too so...no teacher, well there is but not in the traditionnal way, if you get stuck somewhere or/and you don't understand then you could ask the "tutor" wtf??? and that's if he's not busy or have alot of students with questions, and that's when you get a "tutor" that know's what the hell he's talking about

I get all this for $18 000 it was $14900 but a few things happened and i'm taking more time to do the course.

I don't recommend this school at all, i have $16 000 in student loans it will take me 10 years at around $250/month to pay this off, and the only job ( that's according to the employment service director) i could get out of school is help desk at $10/hrs, when i signed the contract they told me that i would make atlest $30 000/year

And to think that i went back to construction part time right now just to make end meets and i'll probably continue in that line of work after i graduate because i went back to school to make a GOOD living not $10/hrs
