  • ICDC College you delivered everything you promised me in the beginning,you made me feel very comfortable from the start to the end, and when I completed and graduated with my degree in "Associates of Occupational Studies in Alcohol and Drug Counseling". I found work immediately as a chemical dependency case manager in Lahaina, Maui Hawaii. All I had to do was discipline myself to do the best I can, study hard, log in daily, and follow the directions from my instructors, It was that simple next thing I knew I completed school withing two years.
    If you are a person in search for higher education, I highly recommend ICDC College to you. they made going back to school very easy and informative.
    Thank you ICDC College I am proud to have been your student from Jan 2010 to Nov of 2011, and prouder to be your alumni of your college. Aloha from Hawaii KM.

  • I just recently graduated from ICDC with an Associates in Occupational Studies in Drug and Alcohol Addiction Counseling. I found the school to be way over priced considering that I was only able to transfer only a few credits toward my Bachelors degree and they could only be used as elective credits. So now I have to pay out even more money to take some classes over again. Almost 40,000 for a 24 month course is a little outrageous

  • I am in school with ICDC for my Associate of Occupational Studies - Forensic Scientist degree. I have been in school for 7 months now. My instructor is probably the smartest guy on earth and my student adviser calls and checks on me every week. I love this school.

    If you apply yourself to succeed, you will.

  • 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...

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 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.
