Not sure if VR is right for you? Our team works directly with VR counselors and can help you explore your options—at no cost and no obligation.
What Is Vocational Rehabilitation?
Vocational Rehabilitation—commonly called VR—is a state and federally funded program that helps individuals with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities prepare for, find, and maintain employment.
In Florida, the program is administered through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. If you’re eligible, VR can cover the full cost of your career training—including tuition, books, supplies, and certification exam fees.
VR funding is a grant, not a loan. You never have to pay it back.
Access Computer Training partners directly with VR counselors to support students throughout the enrollment and training process. ACT is an approved training provider, which means VR funds can be used at our school for eligible programs.
Who May Be Eligible for VR Funding?
VR is designed to help individuals whose disability creates a barrier to employment. You may qualify if:
You Have a Physical Disability

You Have a Chronic Health Condition

Eligibility is determined by Florida’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation based on your individual circumstances. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to start the conversation—our team can help you understand whether VR might be an option for your situation.
Important: You do NOT need to disclose your specific condition to ACT. Our role is to help connect you with VR resources, not to assess your disability.
What Vocational Rehabilitation Can Cover
Full tuition for approved training programs
Books and learning materials

Common Questions About VR Funding
Yes. Vocational Rehabilitation is a government-funded program—not a loan. If your VR counselor approves your training plan, the program covers your costs and you never pay it back.
A documented disability is typically required for VR eligibility, but you don’t need to have everything figured out before contacting us. Our team can help you understand the process and what documentation may be needed.
It varies depending on your local VR office and individual circumstances. Some students move quickly; others take a few weeks. ACT helps keep the process on track by coordinating directly with your VR counselor.
ACT’s role is to provide training, not to assess or document your disability. Your specific condition is between you and your VR counselor. ACT receives funding authorization—not your medical or diagnostic details.
In some cases, yes. For example, if VR covers tuition but not all expenses, other funding sources may help with the balance. Our team can help explore the best combination.
VR funding can typically be used for programs in high-demand fields like IT, cybersecurity, and business applications. Your VR counselor determines which programs are approved based on your employment goals.
