About this school
PPG Technical College is a private for-profit trade school located in Caguas, Puerto Rico, in a small-city setting. The campus is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges and participates in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning students may use FAFSA and Pell Grants to help cover costs.

Federal Scorecard data shows a completion rate of 63.7%, which falls below the Puerto Rico state average of 69.2%.
