2. Small Class Sizes and Free Tutoring Services
We keep our class sizes small, so each incoming student gets the amount of attention he or she needs to succeed. Our instructors have decades of experience in the nursing and healthcare fields, so you’re learning from true professionals who understand the workforce. CDI also provides free tutoring services as well to help you keep pace with our challenging and exciting coursework.
