- I really cannot give my review about this College to anyone, because I have no experience with it, so many negative feedback.I believe when you go to college you go to fulfill your dreams and when you graduate it is up to you to find your job on your on, not the school, and if the school was so horrible why continue on there and graduate.

- I was thinking about enrolling in icdc college until I read the reviews, so I have decided to go back to a community college for additional training. I had to remind myself of the medical assistant course I took in 1994 and couldn't find a job, that these fast track programs are rip offs. And they want their money six months after completion whether or not you get a job.

- I was enrolled in this school for substance abused counseling. I became very ill and hospitalized for a short term needing and operation. They sent leave forms and such to put me on a leave. These were filled and sent in. When i returned i had emails stating that i was cancelled from the course for lack of attendance. Placed on academic probation. Single father with 3 children and no support. They were paid for nothing. I struggled with this schools lack of help and support in hard life situations. Then they started harassing me for the full amounts owed while i was still enrolled? Wasn't this supposed to be after you graduated? Crazy! Do not advise as i was informed that the credentials from this school didn't help much for others who graduated in obtaining jobs either...

- I am currently enrolled in this college and I find the entire staff to be very helpful! the instructor is very well versed and willing to help you no matter what. As far as all of these reviews it is not up to ICDC to get you a job, its their job to teach you how to do a job! In order to get you have to give! Some of you people writing these bogus things on here really should go back to elementary school because your spelling and grammar have major issues! Overall I would give this learning experience a 5!

- I've said it once and I'll say it time and time again best decision I've ever made. I started with a paid externship a whole month before I even finished school. I am a substance abuse counselor who works directly with youth 13 through 19 years of age. Social services PO's deans I mean the works. I am currently enrolling in there Associates degree program to continued education. All from the comfort of my office all I can say to all the negative comments is try a little harder next time guys it pays off. You wool get out of the school only what you are going to put on.

- I got talked into taking Homeland Security course, short story don't fall into the same trap. You get no real world experience from a computer. On top of that most of the teachers are for lack of a better word crap. This place is right on the line of being a scam.

- I'll have to hand it to their recruitment/admissions staff, once they have your phone number, they're persistent as hell. I was thinking about taking the "Homeland Security" course, but as I have a B.S. in Public Administration and most security certifications, I'll just stick with the security industry until the economy improves (or if I find a better post).

ICDC's slick marketing literature and high pressure marketing representatives and loan advisors imply that their Homeland Security graduates will be eligible for jobs with the CIA, FBI, TSA, Border Parol etc. The reality, those high paying jobs, especially with the FBI, CIA, ATF et al, are only available for college graduates from an accredited 4 year college. ICDC is yet another in a long list of cheeseball vocational education colleges, and I use the term "college" loosely, whose units are non-transferable to a "real" college or institution of higher learning. As for the Border Patrol and TSA, you don't need a college degree. I also discovered, after it was too late, that ICDC's 1st Aid, CPR, and police baton training was taught online. As such, those "training certificates" were basically meaningless and are not recognized by employers. Save your thousands of dollars and go to a real brick and mortar college. ICDC is a joke.
