Valencia College — Fire Training Facility

Valencia’s Fire Training Facility is a separate site at 2966 W Oak Ridge Road in Orlando, distinct from the School of Public Safety building on Valencia College Lane. The college’s current public-safety training map assigns Fire Minimum Standards (Firefighter Academy), fire-career certificates and advanced or specialized fire training to this address. That makes the facility relevant to applicants seeking firefighter preparation or credentials already used by regional agencies. It is not a general college-admissions counter, and a student should confirm which training division, instructor and cohort uses the facility before arriving.

The School of Public Safety calls the facility one of seven convenient locations for education and training; the map groups courses by site. Fire Rescue Institute programs are certified by Florida’s Bureau of Fire Standards and Training, and may require separate physical, academic, background or certification prerequisites. The 407-582-8155 contact appears on the official map for program advising. The Fire Rescue Institute uses other Valencia buildings for related programs, so follow the class assignment rather than entering the main School of Public Safety address into a route planner.

Training here follows a professional sequence, not the same calendar as an open-enrollment English class or standard associate degree. A learner can ask about Fire Minimum Standards, the Fire Science A.S. pathway, short career certificates and continuing education, then compare start dates and required documents. Valencia’s “Two for All” initiative may convert eligible prior certifications or service experience into degree credit, but that award requires a review and should be confirmed before planning a graduation timeline. Scholarship and aid eligibility also depends on the exact program; a short course is not automatically FAFSA-eligible.

The college’s map gives this building’s address and career-advisor contact but does not publish general visitor parking instructions or a route-specific transit schedule for the facility. Call before a first visit and ask where to enter, whether a class has equipment or uniform requirements, and whether the building is open to prospective students outside scheduled sessions. Valencia’s route button provides direct directions to W Oak Ridge Road. Applicants who are new to Valencia can start with the main guide’s admissions and aid links, then speak with Public Safety advising about the academy-specific process.
