herein is effective 8/4/2014.
P.4: Replace the following under Statement of Legal Control and Board of Directors:
David Knobel, President and Chief Executive Office with Sean Harding, Interim Chief Executive
Officer
P.4: Remove the following under Statement of Legal Control and Board of Directors:
Neal Yawn, Chief Operations Officer
P.4: Add the following under Licensure
Florida Career Colleges currently operates under a provisional license.
P.4: Under “Facilities” replace the paragraph for the Brandon campus with
The Tampa campus (previously referred to as the Brandon campus) is located at 9950 Princess Palm Avenue,
Suite 100, Tampa, FL 33619. The 42,000 square-foot facility is conveniently near the intersection of Princess

P. 4: Replace the Statement of Legal Control and Board of Directors with the following:
Florida Career College is owned and controlled by Education Training Corporation, A Florida
Corporation. The officers the corporation are, Sean Harding Interim Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Pierne,
Chief Financial Officer and Dean Bartness, Chief Compliance Officer,. The corporate officers are located at
1000 Corporate Drive, Suite 500, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33334, and may be reached at (954) 400-2000.
P. 6: Add the following new section
ONLINE PROGRAMS
Many of our courses are well-suited for online delivery. The coursework is transmitted via the Internet and
can be accessed via any computer with Internet access and a web browser. The online, asynchronous (not
live broadcast) delivery method enables the student to learn on their own time, within a prescribed time
schedule in one-week increments. The student has access to the Online Classroom 24 hours a day in our
Learning Management System (LMS) which houses the courseware, discussion forums, exams, activities and
other important information. The Course Discussion Forum area simulates the class discussion environment;
it has relevant questions asked by the instructor and/or by other students. This section allows for
interactivity among students and the instructor. Posted questions and answers will allow for facilitated
classroom interaction. Students will interact with the course material via exercises related to the subject
matter. This interaction is considered “Hands-on” and is delivered through an Internet-based, multimedia
program.
Online courses utilize multimedia technologies in audio, graphics, animation, and interactivity to deliver a
rich learning experience for the student. The asynchronous delivery method is built around a user-friendly
interface that clearly defines the students’ learning path and objectives.

Required Student Resources – Online Courses
Our e-learning courses are compatible with most PCs. The student must have access to the latest version of
Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. The student will also need the latest version of Flash plug-in, which
may be easily downloaded (at no additional cost) from the Internet. At least a 56K modem connection to the
Internet is required, but cable or DSL is highly recommended.
Speakers are required and are beneficial for learning. It is also mandatory for students to have anti-virus
software on their primary computer, to avoid computer malfunctions that could potentially hinder their
online education. If the applicant is uncertain as to his system’s configuration or its compatibility with the
College’s Online courses, the Student Success Coordinator will assist in determining his computer
specifications.

The Scholarship will be awarded in equal disbursements for the remainder of the quarters in the

P. 17: Replace 9th paragraph under Transfer of Credits with
If a graduate of Florida Career College chooses to enroll in a new program at the College, the College will
transfer applicable credits to another program. The acceptable transfer of credits will reduce the total
credits required for program completion and affect the maximum time frame and GPA. Credits attempted
in the previous program will be calculated in the program completion percentage of the new program. All
grades in the previous program will be replaced with TRA and not calculated in the new program GPA.
P. 19: Remove the Cosmetology Grading Scale
Page 2 of 49
