ICDC College – Van Nuys Campus

The worst school ever, never helped me finding a job. My massage teacher was a pervert. Didn’t teach us anything. The lowest of the lowest.

You have to wonder why a learning facility would choose a spokesman (Romeo), who speaks like he has never been within 100 yards of ANY type of school.

Can you remember the last time you saw a commercial for UCLA? CSUN? USC?
Never, you say? Well that’s because those schools have quality courses and good reputations.
When’s the last time you saw a commercial for ICDC, with a famous spokesperson who has NEVER TAKEN A COURSE THERE? Why do they have to pay a spokesperson to coax you to call their 1800 number when LEGITIMATE colleges don’t need to?
What kind of college takes students that can only read, write and speak at an 8^th grade level and provide a loan?
Schools like these are legal scams. They talk you into believing that as an «accredited school» they’re able to properly educate you, and help you find work after you’re done with your schooling, but what really happens is that they will have you sign up for a loan for an essentially bullshit program that does next to nothing for you, and then you’re in debt AT LEAST $ 15,000!!! Plus interest of course, and the «good» jobs they claim to help you find are practically craigslist jobs you can sift through yourself. The pharmacy tech program is unnecessary for you to work in a pharmacy. That was the course I took and upon hiring, I was told that I didn’t need to have my certification, or have schooling as they’re willing to train on the job and certify you. I work for a large chain and it’s policy Is to help the career advancement of their employees whether it be pharmacy techs or not. A lot of the «skills» you’ve OVER-​PAID for, can be learned in 20 minutes or less. The only thing i apply on a daily basis is some basic math skills that your average 7^th grader can do, and they sell this «invaluable skill» as education to you in hopes of taking your hard earned dollars. In my course of schooling, I realized that the program had loopholes as far as attendance and credits which makes me think that if you want to slide by, this school will simply let you slip through and without warning will dump you from the program leaving you without anything to show for the time there except a full loan that you’ve got to start paying back within two years. These people prey upon the poor and truly uneducated and sell you a story– however they’ve got to spin it so you’ll sign the paperwork and they can get a nice check. For certain programs, they don’t tell you that you can’t have certain details on your criminal record to get your licensing. Nowhere in the brochure does it really give you information on the requirements for your licenses, and many people who successfully complete the program, are in massive debt for something that’s absolutely useless to them, as they can’t be certified. Even if you do go through the schooling, and finish, there’s still the job search. Now, these schools have limited contacts and because they use the same well of internships for ALL of their students, the well dries up fast and you’re stuck with a shitty position pulled off craigslist. I know for a fact that a lot of major retail pharmacies are INCREDIBLY reluctant to pick up students from this college specifically because the caliber of the graduated students are so poor. As a total stranger in the check out Line of the grocery store, a woman overheard me say I was going to that school and I was told to stay far away. She never went into full detail as to why she would warn a complete stranger about a «school» and now I realize that it’s because when you take a good, long, hard look at what’s really being produced out of these kinds of schools, you’d come to find out its mediocrity and lots of wasted money. Don’t just take this one review. Read online about it. Everywhere and everything you can. I just hope they shut down and stop exploiting the poor.
