About this school
M T Training Center is a private for-profit trade school in Grand Prairie, Texas, accredited by the Council on Occupational Education. It participates in federal Title IV programs, meaning students can use FAFSA and Pell Grants to help cover costs. The campus is best known for CDL and truck driving training, along with welding programs, together making up its three offered program tracks.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 83.2%, above the Texas state average of 63.5%. Graduates carry a median debt of $6,755, which is relatively low compared to many trade programs nationally. Median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $21,792, and 31.6% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting a meaningful share of low-income enrollment.
This campus, located in a large suburb setting, may suit students seeking short, focused career-training programs rather than multi-year associate degrees, given its concentration in CDL and welding training. These fields typically involve hands-on, shorter-duration instruction, which can appeal to adult learners or career changers seeking a faster path to employment, though exact program lengths are not reported for this campus in federal data. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and review official outcome figures through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling, since some metrics, such as earnings, are not available here.
