Pros

Seems legit enough to be real

Cons

This isn't a job, you have to find one. Tuition is 18k, you have to pay them

Thanks for your review and for the opportunity to address your concern. You are 100% correct that DCI isn't a job, it's an apprenticeship that supplements a full-time job with relevant, integrated learning. Our primary role is as the training provider, working in conjunction with the employer. While we do support our apprentices with securing a full-time job (if they don't already have one), we are not recruiters or a placement agency. We hope that we make that clear within any postings, but will review them again to try to eliminate any confusion.

Pros

This program has taken my marketing career and skills to the next level. I've learned more hands-on training and had more experiences/coaching than I ever received with a four year college degree. I recommend this program to any hard-working marketing professional!

Cons

Requires a lot of hard work, you get out of it what you put in.

Pros

My peers were the only good thing about this program

Cons

FIRST they make fake job postings which trap you into the apprenticeship. They really are just out for your money. I decided I wanted to disenroll after finding a job (I knew I would have to pay SOMETHING) but they wanted me to pay the WHOLE $7,000. They claim that they've been helping for the past six months when in reality before you actually START the apprenticeship program you have two weekly calls for literally 30 minutes. Then its YOUR job to apply to 10 jobs a week. They had NO HAND in me getting my job, that was all me. I was under the impression that they would help set me up with partner companies but that's not the case until you absolutely can't find a job. The only reason they do this is because they're about to lose out on that person paying their tuition. ALSO if you quit the apprenticeship without a job and they find out y ou get a job in the 90 days after that (in digital marketing) they will still try and charge you the $7,000. You also think you are making really good connections with the staff but that all changes when you want to leave.
