Disclosure Regarding Temporary Approval of Distance Education

Students who enroll in a course that is currently being delivered via virtual synchronous delivery are reminded that this will only last through the temporary approval provided by the Florida Commission on Independent Education. The virtual synchronous portion of the program will cease, likely during the time you are participating in the program. When the temporary approval ends, the remainder of the program will revert to in-person teaching on campus.
Current/active students who have moved from the on-campus, in-person teaching format to temporary virtual synchronous format for their courses are reminded their courses will return to on-campus format once the temporary approval ends.

Please contact your campus location if you have any questions or concerns.

CBT Technology Institute will stop classes starting today Monday March 16, 2020. We are extending our Spring Break from today until Friday March 27, 2020. Regular academic operations including classes will resume March 30.

In the event that the situation with the virus forces CBT Technology Institute to cancel all on ground classes, we are preparing to move to a distance education model. Students will have the opportunity to receive training on the platform we choose so they become familiar with how it works. The sessions will be offered at each campus for the active students, and details will be also shared through our website (www.cbt.edu).

Students training will be delivered at each location and the schedule is detailed below:

Tuesday, March 24^th @ 10AM and 6PM @ your Campus
