Central Florida College, Winter Park, was founded in 1985 under the name of Career Training Institute. Original course offerings included Medical Assisting, Travel and Tourism, and Computer Programming. Cosmetology and Barber Styling were later added. The Orlando campus was first located in downtown Leesburg, Florida, where it offered Barber Styling, Cosmetology, and Medical Assisting beginning in 1984. Career Training Institute, all locations, became branch campuses of the Ohio State College of Barber Styling, Toledo, in 1988.
