About the Firm
Trusted advisors to career schools since 2012.
Cole Middleton Advisors is an Orlando-based educational consulting firm serving career schools and postsecondary institutions. We help school owners earn — and keep — their license to operate: CIE licensure in Florida, national accreditation across ACCSC, COE, ABHES, NACCAS, and DEAC, and the compliance systems that hold it all together.
Why Schools Work With Us
Systems, not just documents.
Most consulting firms hand you documents. We build the systems that produce them — policies, curriculum maps, student records, and evidence workflows that stand up when a reviewer asks for proof on demand.
Our practice is selective and senior: you work with advisors who have run schools, sat through site visits, and answered to commissions.
What We Believe
The problem is not compliance. The problem is proof.
Reviewers look for alignment between policy, practice, curriculum, records, and evidence. Most schools have the documents; few can produce them consistently across every system. That gap is where schools lose licenses — and where we work.
