About This School

Lively Technical College is a public institution located in Tallahassee, Florida with approximately 785 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,225 per year. Typical graduates earn $27,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Lively Technical College is a public technical training school for both adult and high school students, located in Tallahassee, Florida, United States. It occupies two sites, including the main campus at 500 Appleyard Drive, and the campuses at Tallahassee International Airport. The main campus on Appleyard is located adjacent to Tallahassee State College, but the two are separate institutions. Lively Tech is operated by the Leon County Schools district.

Worth considering if you're focused on a specific trade or technical career and want to keep costs low — at just $7,225/year net price, it's one of the more affordable paths you'll find. However, the median earnings of $27,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether the local job market in Tallahassee aligns with your goals. This school fits best for students who want hands-on vocational training without taking on significant debt, not for those expecting a high earning ceiling.
