Lindsey Hopkins Technical College

What Lindsey Hopkins Technical College does

Lindsey Hopkins Technical College is a public technical college operating under the School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, and is accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education (COE) since 1970. The institution delivers a hybrid instructional model combining teacher-led classroom instruction with computer-based instructional software, industry-standard tooling (e.g., Cisco/CompTIA-aligned IT labs, Adobe-style graphic design suites), and specialized simulators (HVAC/R training rigs, automotive autocore). It offers 20+ Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs spanning healthcare (Practical Nursing, Surgical Technology, Dental Assisting, Phlebotomy, Patient Care Assistant, Central Sterile Processing), skilled trades (HVAC/R, Electricity, Marine Service Technologies), automotive (Master Automotive Service Technology pathways), IT (Computer Systems & Information Technology), culinary arts, and cosmetology/specialty services, alongside Adult General Education (ABE, ESOL, GED) and the GATE alternative-education pathway for ages 16–21.

The college operates from a single main campus at 750 NW 20th St., Miami, with a satellite Braman Automotive Training Center at 2060 N.E. 2nd Ave., and is integrated into the six-technical-college M-DCPS district network. Revenue mechanics draw on multiple streams: per-clock-hour CTE tuition ($2.56 in-state, $10.25 out-of-state), flat-rate AGE tuition ($30/term), Federal Pell Grants (Title IV), district financial aid (DFAP) and fee waivers, VA education benefits, and CareerSource South Florida workforce vouchers. Customer segments are diversified across adult learners, dual-enrolled high school students (60,000+ statewide), veterans, refugees/asylees (SAVES), and CTE students across multiple verticals, with recruitment driven primarily by high school counselors, financial aid advisors, and community/workforce referral partners rather than direct-to-consumer marketing.
