About This School

Los Angeles Trade Technical College is a public institution located in Los Angeles, California with approximately 9,998 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,323 per year. Typical graduates earn $34,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Los Angeles Trade–Technical College is a public community college in Los Angeles, California. It is part of the Los Angeles Community College District and is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), American Culinary Federation, and League of Nursing, among others.

This is a strong option for students pursuing hands-on vocational training in fields like culinary arts, nursing, or skilled trades, with the notably low median debt of $10,500 making it a financially sensible choice. That said, median earnings of $34,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, so it's worth researching specific program outcomes rather than assuming all career paths lead to the same place. If you have a clear trade or technical goal in mind, this school's specialized accreditations and affordable cost structure make it worth a serious look.
