About this school
Florida Career College-Tampa is a private for-profit trade school located in Tampa, Florida, in a large suburb setting. Federal data does not list an accreditor in DAPIP for this campus, and federal financial aid (Title IV) does not apply here, meaning students cannot use FAFSA, Pell Grants, or federal loans to pay for programs. The school's most-completed programs are medical assistant programs, HVAC schools, and dental assistant schools, with medical billing and coding and CNA classes also offered, for five program families total.
Across these programs, the campus recorded 305 program completers. The state average completion rate for comparable programs in Florida is 70.5%, but this campus's own completion rate and how it compares to that state average are 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.
Because Title IV aid is not available here, students considering this campus should plan on private financing or out-of-pocket payment, and should weigh that against schools where federal aid applies. The programs offered are typically shorter, hands-on trade credentials rather than multi-year associate degrees, which may suit career changers looking for a faster entry into fields like medical assisting or HVAC. Prospective students should independently verify current accreditation status and outcomes using the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard and by contacting the school directly, since several key figures are not published in federal data for this location.
