About this school
Florida Career College-Lauderdale Lakes is a private for-profit trade and career training campus located in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, a large suburb. Accreditation status for this campus was not found in the DAPIP database, and federal Title IV financial aid does not currently apply here, meaning students cannot use FAFSA or Pell Grants to pay for programs at this location. The school reports 5 program families, with the top programs being medical assistant programs (121 completers), dental assistant schools (56 completers), and HVAC schools (48 completers), for a total of 293 trade completers reported.
Federal Scorecard data shows the state average completion rate in Florida is 70.5%, but this campus's own completion rate compared to that average is not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
Given the program mix — medical assistant, dental assistant, HVAC, CNA, and auto mechanic training — this campus may suit students seeking shorter, hands-on career-training programs rather than multi-year degrees, though specific program lengths are not stated in the data provided. Because Title IV aid does not apply and accreditation was not confirmed in DAPIP, prospective students should verify current accreditation status and any available outcome data directly with the school by phone or through the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling.
