Student Success Story Ria Martinson

“I was extremely busy, Monday through Friday, and...the way the structure was, gave me the opportunity to learn during the nighttime hours, as well as get homework done in a timely manner.“

Student Success Story Ryan Miller

“I was looking specifically for an online program because of my family situation and my location - I was in a remote area with three kids. Being online was actually the only way I was going to be able to successfully complete the eprogram...I couldn't have done it any other way.“

Student Success Story Donahue Chase

“I wanted something that was self-paced and something that gave me the opportunity to do my school work, after work. [VDCI's online training] helped me with time management...I [would] get off work at 3:30 so that left me with a lot of time to get into the courses after work.“
