Overview

Fortis College Dothan is another separate Fortis campus and should have its own Directorist listing. It currently offers three career-training programs: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, Medical Assisting and Pharmacy Technology.

For TradeSchoolScout, HVAC/R is the main attraction. Fortis specifically positions the program for students seeking entry-level work installing, maintaining and repairing heating and cooling systems.

The campus was formerly known as Capps College before becoming part of the Fortis network.

Programs Offered

Current Dothan diploma programs are:

• Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
• Medical Assisting
• Pharmacy Technology

HVAC/R

The HVAC/R program is the campus’s primary traditional trade program.

Students receive technical education intended to develop the skills needed to pursue entry-level HVAC employment. Fortis combines career-focused instruction with practical preparation and provides Career Services assistance for graduates.

The current catalog identifies the program as 960 clock hours.

Tuition & Financial Aid

Fortis’s current published catalog lists the HVAC/R program at:

• Tuition — $21,140
• Administrative & technology fee — $100
• Student kit — $859
• Certification/licensure exam — $27
• Laptop — $941
• Textbooks — $692
• Published total cost — $23,759

That makes the complete published cost much more useful to prospective students than tuition alone.

Fortis’s catalog also describes federal assistance including:

• Federal Pell Grant

Student Reviews

Based on your supplied Google data:

⭐ Average Rating: 4.8 (55 Reviews)

That’s a strong rating, though prospective students should read recent reviews specifically concerning the HVAC/R program rather than assuming the overall campus rating represents every department.

Enrollment Tips

Fortis’s catalog lists multiple start dates throughout 2026, which may make it easier to begin training without waiting for a traditional fall or spring semester.

Cost deserves careful comparison. The currently published $23,759 total HVAC/R program cost is substantially more informative than tuition alone and should be compared with public Alabama technical-college HVAC programs before enrolling.

Applicants should also ask exactly which industry certification exams are included in the published certification/licensure charge.

Bottom Line

Fortis College Dothan belongs in the directory as a private HVAC/R career-training option for southeastern Alabama. The strongest points are its focused 960-hour HVAC/R diploma, hands-on training, ABHES accreditation and federal-aid participation. Its published $23,759 total program cost makes cost comparison particularly important, so students should evaluate it alongside public technical-college alternatives before deciding.
