Programs offered by PEG institutions vary by location, but include training in massage therapy, medical assisting, medical billing, paralegal, and computer information technology.

Salter School of Nursing & Allied Health is located in Manchester, New Hampshire. American College for Medical Careers is located in Orlando, Florida. Controversy
Premier Education Group has faced allegations of fraudulently misrepresenting school accreditations and certifications, and of unprofessional academic practices. A federal lawsuit by seven former employees charges that school officials routinely misled students about their career prospects, and falsified records to enroll them and keep them enrolled, so that they could continue to get government grant and loan dollars.
