Florida Technical College was founded in 1982 to provide post-secondary training in specialized business fields. The Orlando main campus opened in 1982, followed by the Lakeland campus in 1990, and the DeLand campus in 1997. Classes began in Kissimmee and Pembroke Pines campuses in 2011, and the Cutler Bay campus opened in 2015. After 35 years serving Florida’s educational needs, Florida Technical College merged with National University College (NUC), which had been until now a sister institution. NUC also brought four other colleges under its umbrella: The Digital Animation & Visual Effects (DAVE) School and LaSalle Computer Learning Center, in Florida, as well as Instituto de Banca y Comercio and Ponce Paramedical College, in Puerto Rico. Now NUC has a combined total of 28 campuses and 20,000 students in Puerto Rico and Florida. Locations of Florida Technical College Continuing Education: Orlando, FL: 12900 Challenger Prkwy.
