About STI

Welcome to Southern Technical Institute

Southern Technical Institute (STI) is an entry-level career education school dedicated to providing students with career training and education in a student-centered environment. The school combines traditional and innovative teaching techniques in the areas of health sciences.

Delivered in a dynamic and professional environment, the curricula are designed to deliver intensive, hands-on training in core technical areas in combination with communication skills, interpersonal skills, and a broad-based career-based education. STI has been helping students in Florida to prepare for their future careers for more than 10 years.

STI was formerly known as Florida Medical Prep, which was founded in 2003 to offer nursing assistant examination preparation in Largo, Florida. Over the years, the school has expanded to offer instruction in First-Aid, CPR certifications, Med (Pass) Tech courses, plus diploma programs in related health fields. In 2009, the school began offering diploma programs licensed by the Florida Commission for Independent Education.

In April 2013, Florida Medical Prep was purchased by Southern Technical Institute, LLC, 100% owned by Southern Technical Holdings, LLC. Southern Technical Institute, LLC does business as Southern Technical Institute. In 2015, Southern Technical Institute expanded operations with the addition of STI Orlando Campus and was also approved to offer Hybrid online learning to better serve its student population.
