Career Certificate Programs

Orange Technical College proudly prepares students in Central Florida for various careers and provides programs of study ranging in length from a couple of months to a year or more. Graduates can earn future college credits in most OCPS career certificate programs of study.

Apprenticeship Programs

Earn while learning new skills through real work experience. Apprenticeship programs combine paid employment with no cost training. Completing each year of training elevates an apprentice's hourly pay rate and their status within the skilled trade community.

Our OTC Campuses

In 1933, the Orange County Vocational School opened. Since then, the technical college has continued to grow and evolve, always focused on improving students' lives and positively impacting workforce needs. Throughout our history, we have grown exponentially to increase the skillsets, expand horizons, and enhance each of our valued students' job outlooks.
