DCI Career Institute Academics

Officially established in 1985 as an institution providing short-term training courses for computer service and sales, the DCI Career Institute has grown from a simple training organization to an incorporated company. Now, the school offers full-time continuing education classes in more subjects than just computer networks, including business information specialists, medical assistance and massage therapy. Additionally, the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training officially accredited the institution in 1991.

Since the DCI Career Institute’s focus is on professional studies and continuing education, the school provides students with a lot more hands-on assistance as well as personal instruction when compared to other institutions. Additionally, the four, full-time, diploma programs offered traditionally require less than one year to complete.

Classes are offered either in the mornings, afternoons and evenings, so students who hold part-time or full-time jobs can work around their schedules.

Besides academic programs, the DCI Career Institute also provides corporate training and private tutoring sessions for companies necessitating employee training or individuals desiring to learn a particular software application. At the same time, the school is an official VUE Testing Center, allowing students and the general public to take specific IT tests in order to receive certifications for such programs and organizations as CompTIA and Microsoft.

Unique Programs

One thing that the DCI Career Institute offers to help students, besides their curriculum, is their resources center and career services. With a mission to help prepare students to actively compete within the work force, the career services center offers technical support for constructing both a resume and a cover letter, as well as allows students to enhance their interview techniques through their “mock interview” sessions.

Additionally, the school has listings for local employment and provides assistance for online job searches. Although current students are the majority of individuals who utilize the school’s career services, graduates are also encouraged to use the resource center if they ever need to search for a new occupation.

DCI Career Institute Students

Since it is a private, for-profit institution, the student body of the DCI Career Institute is quite small, with around 150 full-time students per year. The majority of students are women and the most populated age demographics are between the 20 to 30 year range.

Because of the small student body, the school does not offer any on-campus or off-campus housing. However, there is a variety of lodging available within Monaca, Pennsylvania, not to mention that Pittsburgh is located only 22 miles away.

Out of the classroom, the nearby city of Pittsburgh offers all of the restaurants, bars and clubs to satisfy all of those nightlife urges. Additionally, such museums as the Andy Warhol Museum are housed within the city, allowing DCI Career Institute students to check out some famous, modern art.
