Valencia College — Advanced Manufacturing Training Center

Valencia College’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Center is at 1099 Cross Prairie Parkway in Kissimmee and serves employers and learners across Orange and Osceola counties. Its accelerated courses focus on practical skills and nationally recognized credentials in manufacturing-related occupations. Valencia lists CNC automated production, electronic board assembly, electronics manufacturing, industrial automation and mechatronics, optics and photonics, robotics and semiconductor technology, welding and industrial maintenance. Programs are designed to prepare students for technician-level work; course length and prerequisites differ, so the center’s current enrollment page is the source for the next cohort rather than a generic college calendar.

This specialized training building is separate from the larger Osceola Campus at Denn John Lane, even though both addresses are in Kissimmee. The distinction matters when a student follows directions or receives a class assignment. The college’s locations directory provides the Cross Prairie address, telephone and virtual tour; a campus map is available from the program page. Valencia’s general transportation page describes LYNX service near campuses, but does not publish a stop-specific route for this training center. Confirm a route and parking instructions with the program team before traveling.

The short format can appeal to adults changing fields or workers who need a recognized skill without first completing a two-year degree. Valencia says training is hands-on and happens in weeks for selected courses, and some accelerated courses may yield credit toward an A.S. degree. Students should verify the particular course, assessment standard, tools required and whether financial aid or a scholarship applies. For longer-term study, the A.S. in engineering technology or another related degree may build on a training credential, but the college must evaluate course equivalencies and document the credits.

The public directory identifies 407-582-8277 as the center number and links to an official virtual tour and program information. Ask about the exact course start date, daily schedule, cost, application and current employer partnerships; published program pages can change between cohorts. Students who need English support can contact Valencia Continuing Education about ESOL or talk with the program advisor about language expectations in the lab. No assumption should be made that English instruction is bilingual or that this technical location offers the full range of student services found on a general campus.
