FMTC is a public postsecondary institution that accepts applications on a non-discriminatory basis from anyone having the interest, ability, and desire to benefit from career and technical education programs. To assist students in meeting their goals, there are minimum age, educational, and health requirements established for each program. According to the HEA Sec. 485(a)(1)(V) HEOA amendment effective August 14, 2008, FMTC must make available to current and prospective students information about institutional policies regarding vaccinations. FMTC does not require vaccinations for general admission to career certificate programs with the exception of health science programs; students applying for Medical Assisting, Nursing Assistant (Articulated), and Practical Nursing are required to have a Flu vaccine. FMTC is concerned about the health and well-being of all students, though. Therefore, the institution encourages all students to remain current on vaccinations as suggested by appropriate health authorities.

Applicants must be at least 16 years of age and should be academically, physically, and emotionally capable of meeting the essential tasks of the chosen program. Completion of a high school diploma or GED may be required for some programs. Don’t have a high school diploma or GED? The School District of Lee County offers GED preparation and the GED test throughout the school year. Visit the Adult and Career Education GED website for more information!

Programs are filled on a first come, first served basis, with the exception of Practical Nursing. Your seat is not reserved until you have successfully completed the enrollment process and paid your non-refundable application fee of $45.

Check our GETTING STARTED page for detailed instructions to apply.
