In 2009, the course relocated as an independent school to new facilities at the airport of the former Naval Base Roosevelt Roads, which is named Jose Aponte De La Torre Airport in the municipality of Ceiba. In 2019 PRAMI was relocated to the adjoining buildings in the Ana Delia Flores Vocational High School in Fajardo.  PRAMI is the only FAA approved school in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean providing the opportunities for the study of Aircraft Maintenance. The course is exemplary in many ways and sets a reputation within the Department of Education of the Government of Puerto Rico.
