About Trade School Map

Trade School Map helps people compare trade and career programs on the numbers that matter: what the program costs, how long it takes, how many people finish, and what graduates earn.

Every school and program comes from data that schools report to the U.S. Department of Education. We combine the IPEDS directory and completions files, which show which schools offer which programs, with program prices and the College Scorecard, which reports net price, completion rates and graduates' earnings.

Schools do not pay to be listed and cannot pay to change their numbers. Schools can claim their listing for free to add a link to apply, correct contact details or add program information the federal data does not cover.

Corrections

If something on a listing is wrong, use the correction link on that page or contact us. Owners can claim their listing for free.
