Unfortunately, for many people, a job is just a means to support a household and pay the bills. What most people actually want is a full-fledged exciting career. At Florida Career College, the desire for something more meaningful than just a paycheck is understood. That’s why the programs here at FCC are designed to train students in a specified field of interest.
If you want to be a cosmetologist, cosmetology school is an absolute must. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment field for cosmetologists is expected to grow by 20% by the year 2018. Though this growth is well above average, it is difficult to enter the field without the appropriate training and education. Florida Career College offers an exciting 12-month program that will give you this training in a hands-on environment. Classes are taught by experienced experts at state-of-the-art facilities to give you the most modern learning experience possible.
In addition to the cosmetology school, Florida Career College also operates a full service spa. Beauty school students can benefit from working in the spa in a number of ways. For example, you will have the opportunity to experience your future career in a real-life setting with experts available to assist you. You will also be presented with networking opportunities to build lasting client relationships. Plus, working in a full-service spa can help you decide if you’d rather be a general cosmetologist or if you’d like to pick a specialty within the field.
At Florida Career College, we take pride in our cosmetology training school. We offer the courses and hands-on training you need to be prepared for a career as a cosmetologist. If you are interested in learning more about our beauty school or would like to speak with an admissions representative, give us a call today at (954) 357-0372.

Generally speaking, the people who are the most satisfied with their careers are the people who have found a position that complements their strengths and their passions. However, finding the perfect career path can be challenging. From cosmetology school to allied health training, a career college offers the training you need to find the perfect job. By following a few tips, you can narrow your options and choose the path that is right for you:
- Understand Your Personality
Are you a people person or do you prefer to work independently? If you don’t like constantly interacting with others, beauty school probably isn’t for you, no matter how much you like cosmetology. Likewise, if you enjoy working with people, a career in computer information and research may leave you feeling isolated, even if you are good at the work.
- Define Your Skills
Are you good at math or chemistry? Attending a career college for accounting, technology, or medical-related positions such as allied health training may be for you. Do you have above average skills with art or spatial concepts? Consider cosmetology school to become a makeup artist or hairdresser.
- Put It All Together
When you combine your special skills with your unique passions and personality, your ideal career path begins to become clearer. For example, if you enjoy working with people and you have special skills in understanding human anatomy, you can narrow your options down to medical assisting or physical therapy assisting. If you find there are multiple options that you may enjoy, try researching the employment opportunities and average salaries of each career. Don’t forget that a career college admissions representative can also help you discover the program that is best for you.
At Florida Career College, we offer many opportunities for you to achieve your career goals. Call us at (888) 848-2717 to discuss your options with one of your admissions representatives today.

If you are considering a career in the allied health training field, a physical therapist assistant (PTA) position may be an interesting option. A career as a PTA is rewarding. Here’s a look at what you can expect on the job:
Work Environment
After the completion of your allied health training program, you'll be ready to find a job as a PTA. You have many choices when it comes to employment. Some of the locations where you might work include hospitals, rehab centers, physical therapy clinics, nursing homes, and sports medicine clinics.
Job Description
As a PTA, you'll work closely with physical therapists and other medical professionals to provide care for your patients. You may perform manual exercises, supervise patient exercises and therapies, administer heat or cold treatments, and monitor the progress of the patient. Generally, you'll be supervised by a physical therapist and will rely on him or her to outline the course of treatment for you and the patient.
As a successful PTA, you'll be an integral part of the patient's treatment. You'll need to be able to communicate effectively with the physical therapist, nurses, and the patient. Being a good listener will help you do your job better. Additionally, it is highly desirable to be in good physical shape yourself, which will allow you to better manipulate the patients and prevent injury to yourself.
Compensation
Your compensation for your work as a physical therapist assistant can vary. It is based on the location where you work, the experience you have, and the setting in which you practice. The average median salary for a physical therapist assistant is approximately $49,810 a year.
