What are the graduation rates for students at Professional Skills Institute?

Professional Skills Institute's reported overall graduation rate was 43% in 2024-25, while its reported student retention rate was 75%. These measures answer different questions: graduation tracks completion for a defined cohort, whereas retention concerns students who continue from one reporting period to the next.

The federal graduation-rate measure generally follows first-time, full-time students through 150% of their program's normal completion time. It therefore does not describe every student PSI serves, particularly students who transfer in. For a more useful program-level picture, applicants can request recent completion figures for their intended credential and ask how the school counts students who change programs or attendance status.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Professional Skills Institute?

An earnings figure should not be treated as a promised salary for a Professional Skills Institute graduate. Pay after training varies by occupation, license, location, hours worked, prior experience, and the time elapsed since completion.

When comparing outcomes, students should check whether a published figure describes all former students in a program or only those with earnings captured in a particular dataset. They should also distinguish median earnings - the midpoint of reported earnings - from a starting wage or a job-placement rate. For licensed occupations, the relevant questions include examination eligibility, licensure outcomes, and the kinds of positions available locally.
