Lifelong Learners

Don't let "I've always wanted to…" turn into "I wish I had…."

Most of us have one or two things we wish we'd learned along the way. Whether it's a program in electrical repair or welding, or a refresher program to supplement your career skills, or just curiosity about a particular subject, Fortis probably has a program for you.

If you're looking for an affordable, convenient way to continue learning about subjects that interest you—or you need to develop skills for your job—you should consider Fortis. Our growing list of campuses and programs—and our online option—are convenient and accessible. Since Fortis is accredited, provides quality education with technical instruction and life skills training, employers sometimes may sometimes send their employees to Fortis—either online or in person.

Convenience

  • Fortis campuses are located in 14 states nationally, and we're still growing! That means you have flexibility in selecting the right campus for you.
  • Some students love the ease and convenience of online learning, while others love the face-to-face interaction in the classroom. At Fortis, we offer both, and work with you to tailor your program for the most appropriate platform for your path to success. Our e-learning platform offers a user-friendly environment and deep engagement with professors.

Experience

  • Frequent class starts and qualified faculty mean that you'll get the individual attention you need to master the subject matter. Whether you need the skill for a job or a certification, or just for your own interest, you'll come out of your Fortis classes armed with real knowledge.
  • Whether you're online or on-campus, you will be supported by all of our resources. You will be able to look up reference information and publications in our Learning Resource Center databases, have access to your instructors and Fortis staff, and join a community of students who are serious about their work—and know how to have fun, too.
  • On-campus, you can always access your student records via our student portal for information and career resources. Fortis is committed to creating the best possible student experience.
 

If you need assistance understanding how to finance your education, we have financial aid advisors staff to give you all the information you need about your program's cost and your aid options.

In some cases, employers or sponsors may choose to finance classes, and you may be concerned about reimbursement. Talk to our financial aid advisors about your situation and they can coordinate with you and your employer.

Financial aid advisors are located on every campus so students can continue to find--and act on--important information they need to continue on their path to success.

Enrolling at Fortis is simple, quick, and easy.

    Coming to Fortis College really did change the way I look at life and being a successful person. A lot of people don’t think they can afford higher level education but when you put your mind to it and make the sacrifice – it will work in the end.

  • Ebony Butler »

    As a graduate RN here at Fortis College I must say, my journey has been a long one. I’ve been an LPN for four years and walking through the door I thought I had all the answers, and the only person that was going to take care of me was me. I had this assumption that the next fifteen months of my life was going to be easy, I was absolutely wrong.
