This is a Vocational Credit Certificate program that is a 2-3 semester course of study requiring 35 vocational credits (1050 contact hours). In addition to the required courses, students are also required to take and pass the T.A.B.E. before graduation:
To facilitate the clinical portion of the program, students are assigned to a clinical facility within Miami Dade County. Students are responsible for their own transportation to the campus and to various agencies in the community to which they are assigned for clinical experiences. Students enrolled in the clinical portion of the program are required to complete the Miami Dade College Student Health Record and criminal background check process.
Enrollment in the program is limited. Meeting the program requirements does not guarantee progression into the discipline courses. For this reason, the following selection criteria are used to determine which students will progress. Please note that there is no waiting list.
Final selection will be based on the submission of all required documents received at the mandatory program orientation session.
