History
Corinthian Colleges Inc. purchased CDI College in July 2003,[2] though this only lasted for about four and a half years before CCi sold CDI College to the Eminata Group in December 2007. CCi retained its Ontario schools in the purchase deal and re-named them "Everest College", while all others were sold to the Eminata Group, Inc.[3]
On November 8, 2007, the previous parent company completed the sale of substantially all the assets of its corporate training division, CDI Education for C$19 million (US$16 million) to CrossOff Incorporated.
In December 2007, Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (CCi) re-branded its Ontario campuses as Everest College and sold the remaining campus locations across Canada to the Eminata Group.[4]
Since 2007, new programs have been added and a new website was launched, allowing potential students to chat with school representatives and apply online.
