DCI Digital Career Institute

Teachers who aren't really teachers and don't know how to teach. Frustrating. Class support doesn't respond to students' urgent requests for help or complaints. Absolute waste of time. Look for other schools or online courses. Job support doesn't exist,... Read More even if they say it does. I wish I could go back in time and not choose this school.

I want to give an honest and straightforward review of this course to help other people who are putting all their effort into a career change and trying to make the best decision about where to allocate the resources they have. DCI has been a terrible... Read More experience. After 8 months of classes with 2 teachers who arrived every day without having a lesson or material prepared, they tried to explain concepts that were very confusing because of their lack of preparation. Not to mention that when they tried to do live coding, and as they were unprepared, the code never worked out (never!), they deleted it and did it again several times; it was impossible to follow them. In 8 months, nobody learned anything. Most of my classmates came from the IT industry, and even they were complaining. DCI threatened to expel the students from the course if they continued complaining about the bad teachers' quality. Most of us had to buy Udemy courses to get the knowledge, and it was a real solution. I could mention many other things, such as the disastrous 3 weeks of substitute teachers in the backend, each day a different one not knowing what he should teach because DCI contacted him that morning. This post would be very long if it went into all the details. The icing on the cake was when I received a formal written reprimand by email from the class manager in a highly aggressive manner, formally accusing me of "allegedly" falsifying sick leave certificates, which I, not knowing that DCI would reject, obtained through telemedicine from the health service provider DrAnsay. I submitted to DCI all the documentation provided by Dr. Ansay about the legal validity of their certificates and showed that they were issued after telemedicine payment. The point is that the DCI team had 1 year after the first certificate to warn me that they didn't recognize this provider's certificate of illness so that I could go to another doctor in the future. However, they did not acknowledge their mistake and lack of professionalism in notifying their rejection promptly, and they arbitrarily decided to record those absences as unjustified. The ridiculous thing is that the sickness certificates were 2 days of flu (certificate 1), which turned into 15 days of COVID certificate (the flu became that after 5 days) in 2023, and again 1 COVID certificate in January 2024. Something totally within normal disease parameters for 18 months in human life! In summary, teachers who are not certified or prepared to teach, the mistreatment of students, and constant threats that they will report to the Agentur für Arbeit/Job Center are worse than the worst school. To top it all off, wait to learn about coding. If I could go back in time, I would have given this opportunity to a serious and committed education provider who treats students as people, not as immigrants living from the German government. The truth is they are the ones who live from the German government receiving money without being able to offer the education they promise.
