History

ICDC College was founded on November 13, 1995 as International Career Development Center, Inc., by Anna Berger, an educator and CPA.

The school specializes in providing entry-level training programs for students of all ages and career phases. Initially, ICDC College opened a Los Angeles campus that offered software and computer hardware training. To respond to job market and hiring needs, the school increased its program listings to include database design, business application implementation and design, and additional tech solutions.

Seeing that employers were wanting employees with more training in computers, the school began to offer coursework and programs in desktop publishing, accounting, computer networking and repair, tax preparation, medical computing, and database programming.

In 1999, the school earned its accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). ICDC College also expanded its ability to reach students by opening a new campus in Van Nuys, California. Three years later, the school opened a campus in Huntington Park, CA. The following year, another campus was opened in Lawndale, CA.

In 2008, ICDC College was granted permission to offer Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) programs. Also in 2008, ICDC College created an online branch of its main campus that would allow students anywhere in the world to access coursework, learning materials, and more. The online branch was approved to offer Certificates, Fast-Track Diplomas, and AOS degrees.

By the spring of 2011, ICDC was approved to change its main campus name from the "Los Angeles Main Campus" to the "ICDC College Hollywood Campus." Two years later, ICDC College would merge that campus with its Huntington Park location, with the latter location now being officially referred to as the ICDC College Main Campus.

Currently, ICDC College offers programs in alcohol and drug counseling, healthcare management, homeland security, business management and accounting, paralegal, and more.

Currently, the college is closing. Today on the college's homepage: "WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW APPLICATIONS FOR ENROLLMENT." It is not in good standing with the California approving agency and it has not been properly authorized in many states from which students are enrolled. Per statute, only California residents or students enrolled in a residency program are eligible for reimbursement from California's Student Tuition Recovery Fund. Many predatory entities are advertising on the internet that they will help students with loan forgiveness. Students and former students should beware of possible scams.
