Digital Multimedia at CSI
What Our Graduates Say
I did my research, I knew that companies searching for IT professionals were looking for CERTIFICATIONS and job experience — not two or four year degrees, CSI fit the bill.
Today I am a systems administrator for IBM and have my own office. I wouldn’t be here without CSI.
For me, CSI is one of the best schools with best instructors, because all of them are professional. Along with that, the opportunities CSI is providing to international students are unbelievable.
Imagine that, hundreds of students are able to achieve their dreams through the knowledge which they can get from school.
I am so happy that I had the chance to go to CSI. Met wonderful people, was taught by the best teachers. A great experience overall. I will miss CSI. I would recommend it to anyone.
It’s affordable and it has very useful programs. Thanks again for the opportunity. Good luck to everyone.
I chose CSI because most of my friends suggested this school for me. CSI is a school where you can find new friends and learn something new. And it’s also affordable, which is really important for international students.
Quickly approaching my third semester of my first full year at CSI, my experience with CSI is a great institution. All of my professors are good as well. I learn many useful and stimulating things in the brief time that I am a student here. There is a delightful mix of age, class, and ethnicity…
