Programs

Orange Technical College is home to dozens of career training programs, at the most competitive tuition rates in town.

For more than 80 years Orange County Public Schools has been making history and changing lives through education. We do this by providing career and technical training through strong technical college programs for tens of thousands of students in Central Florida, including Avalon Park, Downtown Orlando, South Orlando, Winter Park, and Winter Garden, FL. We value our students and have a strong desire to see them achieve their personal and professional goals and can custom fit an educational plan to help them realize their objectives.

Most programs enroll students every nine weeks, but all interested students should come in and speak with a counselor about upcoming start dates for their program of interest. If you’re looking to expand your skillset and marketability to either make you a keener candidate for a new job or a promotion, enrolling in courses on our campus may be the best way to do it.

Applications for our industry certification program are accepted on a non-discriminatory basis from anyone who has the interest, ability, and desire to benefit from an occupational training program. Adult students must be 16 years of age or older and withdrawn from their high school to be admitted into Orange Technical College (with the exception of dual-enrolled students).

Through dual enrollment, high school students will be able to earn college credit during their school day, leaving room for extracurricular activities and clubs after school. High school students interested in attending an Orange Technical College program during their school day should speak with their career specialist or a school counselor about dual enrollment opportunities.

Contact any of our five campuses, give us a call, or send us an email, and we’ll advise you on the next steps on your path to a great career. We appreciate your time as you explore the career opportunities we have available and look forward to supporting you in reaching your goals!”
