Admissions
The application for January 2026 is currently CLOSED.
We experienced a major technical malfunction with our online application. While we normally keep the application open for a week, we had no choice but to close it after 12:46 p.m. on October 6th. We had already received 300+ applications at that time. Our admissions team is currently processing these submissions. If we find we still have programs with open seats after they have been processed, we will open a new application for these programs. Check back for updates in the coming weeks.
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 $50.
Check our GETTING STARTED page for detailed instructions to apply.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: Fort Myers Technical College is NOT a Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certified institution and does NOT participate in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), or the F, J or M visas programs. We are not an I-20 institution.
