About this school
Florida Career College-Margate is a private for-profit trade and career school located in Margate, Florida, a large suburb. Federal data does not list this campus with an active accreditor in DAPIP, and federal financial aid (Title IV) does not apply here, meaning students cannot use FAFSA or Pell Grants to pay for programs. The campus awards credentials across five program families, with the most completions in medical assistant programs, HVAC training, and dental assistant programs.
Looking at the numbers available: the campus reported 241 trade program completers. The state average completion rate for comparable programs in Florida is 70.5%, but this campus's own completion rate compared to that state average is not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
Given the mix of shorter career-training programs like medical assistant, HVAC, and dental assistant tracks, this type of campus setting is often used by people entering or changing careers into hands-on trades, though this is inferred only from the program list and cannot be confirmed as a fit without contacting the school directly. Because Title IV aid does not apply and accreditation status was not found in DAPIP, prospective students should verify accreditation and any outcomes directly with the school by phone at (954) 935-7921 or through its website, and check the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for any additional federal data before enrolling.
