Customer service training in New York

2 customer service programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

2 schools offer these customer service programs, and New York has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Customer service representatives answer questions and requests from customers by phone, in person, by email or text, through live chat and on social media, and many work in call centers. Most need a high school diploma and learn on the job in 2 to 4 weeks; those who give information about finance or insurance may need a state license.1

In New York, both programs take students without a high school diploma.

Both are the same kind of program: customer service certificate or course.

Where the New York customer service program numbers come from

Which New York customer service programs are on this list?

These are the customer service programs New York 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. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what New York offers.

How the prices and results of New York customer service 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 New York figures?

The US Department of Labor's own results site lists New York among the states with "known data quality concerns".10 The figures here are shown as the state reported them; check them with the school before you enroll.
