Florida Technical College
Florida Technical College was founded in 1982 to provide post-secondary training
in specialized business fields. The main campus in Orlando opened in 1982, followed
by the Lakeland campus in 1990, and the DeLand campus in 1997. Classes began at
the Kissimmee, Pembroke Pines, and Tampa campuses in 2011, and the South Miami campus
