Is Florida career college a good school?

Answer 1

The school is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. However, this is not the preferred accreditation and will not be recognized by other regionally accredited colleges and universities, and may not be recognized by some employers. If you plan to continue your education, you would be much better off making sure the college or university you plan to attend has the preferred regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers.

Answer 2

You would be better off staying away from institutions such as this one. The school does not have the preferred regional accreditation. This can present a number of problems in the future. First, the coursework and degree you complete will not be recognized by other regionally accredited colleges and universities (which most are). Second, the credits will not be transferable, nor will the degree be recognized should you wish to pursue a higher degree at a later date. In addition, the coursework and degree may not be recognized by many employers. Read the following carefully. If you take your program of study from a regionally accredited institution, you will be saving yourself a lot of aggravation, and regret in the future. This college does not have the preferred accreditation. It is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET), but this is not the preferred accreditation. Remember, institutions such as this are businesses (for-profit). Some will tell you anything to get you to enroll.

WARNING!!!

When choosing a college or university, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation. With a regional accreditation you can be assured the coursework and degree you complete will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers.
