There are many benefits of attending Orlando Tech as  a high school student!

• You can take technology courses (electives) at a Orlando Tech at the same time you are completing your required academic courses for graduation at your high school.
• The courses are free.
• Transportation service between your high school and the tech center is free as well.
• Books and lab fees are free.
• You can earn two or three credits per year and future college credits.
• You can obtain 1 or 2 years of industry-level training in highly equipped labs.If you have already taken similar high school courses you can start with more advanced level courses at the tech center.
• By getting a head start in high school, after graduation you can usually complete a career certificate program in about 6 months.
• Your training may include internships with local companies. There's a great chance you can get a Tech Prep scholarship to complete your training after high school.
• Only 6 months after graduating, you will have real options...a high wage career, continue on to college (remember the college credits you already earned?), or both. And the best part is...no loan to repay! That's what you call...real life OPTIONS!
