CFK offers Free Rapid Credential programs

KEY WEST, FL—The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) is offering three Rapid Credential programs at no cost to students starting this summer, which begins May 16. The opportunities are part of a state-wide initiative to help individuals, particularly those negatively impacted by the pandemic, quickly train for a career. The programs are funded by the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Fund.

Costs covered in CFK’s Rapid Credential programs include: tuition, course fees, textbooks, and testing costs. There are no financial need requirements for students; however, they must complete the prescribed courses in the set time-frame. Program lengths range from one semester to two-and-a-half semesters. Some coursework will be online and some in person, depending on the program.
