I've cited three references; if you take a look on Google, you'll see that there are literally thousands of references and, if you follow wome of them up, I think you'll find that this phrase seems to be fairly universal currency.

neutral  Tomasz Poplawski: "preparatory" stanowczo nie - wiesz, "prep school" to jednak w skojarzeniach elita; ale po prostu trade school byłoby całkiem w porządku w USA
5 hrs
  -> "Trade School" bez niczego nie chciałem, gdyż są one w wielu przypadkach przeznaczone dla osób z ukończ. szkołą podstawową. Potwierdziłem nawet w "Berk Trade School" w NY, sąsiadującą z moją uczelnią. Jak chciałem dodać "training", Caryl mnie uprzedziła.
