Administrative assistant training in Chicago, Illinois
68 administrative assistant programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
21 schools offer these administrative assistant programs with classes in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin area, and every one is approved for workforce funding: 50 by Illinois and 18 by Indiana. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Secretaries and administrative assistants do routine clerical and organizational work: answering phones, scheduling appointments, preparing documents and keeping files. High school graduates comfortable with word processing and spreadsheets typically qualify and learn the job in a few weeks of on-the-job training; some community colleges and technical schools offer courses in office procedures.1
In Chicago, 24 of the 68 programs take students without a high school diploma, 12 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 32 ask for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 68 programs here are microsoft Office and Excel course (31 programs), administrative assistant or office certificate (28 programs), office administration (associate degree, 4 programs), administrative assistant apprenticeship (3 programs), and 2 more of one other kind.

How to pay for administrative assistant training in Chicago
WIOA funding can pay for administrative assistant training in Chicago

Where the Chicago administrative assistant program numbers come from
Which Chicago administrative assistant programs are on this list?
These are the administrative assistant programs with classes in the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the Illinois page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.
How the prices and results of Chicago administrative assistant programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
How reliable are the Illinois figures?
The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Illinois among the states with "known data quality concerns".10 We leave out the share who finished for Illinois: only a few programs report it, and those at a typical 11%. We leave out prices for Illinois: the state files a code in place of each price, so no price can be shown.
