What Training Formats and Support Services Does CTSTraining.com Provide Beyond Standard Classes?
Updated
CTSTraining.com offers more than scheduled public classes. According to its site navigation, the school provides private training, onsite training, one-on-one tutoring, software consulting, training room rentals, and WIOA/TAA-funded training pathways. These options suit people who cannot attend a fixed public schedule, employers who need a group trained at their own location, or individuals who need targeted help with a specific tool rather than a full course.
Private and Onsite Training
Two formats extend the classroom beyond open-enrollment classes:
- Private Training Classes — one-on-one or small-group instruction, typically used when a learner needs a custom pace or a topic that does not match the public schedule.
- Onsite Training Classes — the instructor delivers training at the client's location, which is the usual choice for companies training a team.
Both are listed as distinct offerings alongside the standard class catalog, so they are separate from simply enrolling in a public section.
Tutoring and Consulting
Beyond teaching, the site lists two consulting services tied to specific software:
| Service | Focus |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Access Database Consulting | Database design and development work |
| QuickBooks Consulting | Accounting software setup and support |
Tutoring is also listed as a standalone service, separate from full classes. This is the option to consider when the goal is help with a particular problem or skill gap rather than completing an entire course outline.
Training Room Rentals
The site offers Training Room Rentals, which lets an organization use the facility for its own instruction. This is relevant if you have an internal trainer or a group that needs a computer-equipped room rather than a CTSTraining instructor.
WIOA/TAA Funding Support
CTSTraining.com publishes WIOA Candidate Information and a WIOA Orientation Form, indicating it participates in Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act training. TAA (Trade Adjustment Assistance) is also named in the site's service list. If you may qualify for either program, the practical steps are:
- Check the WIOA Candidate Information page for eligibility context.
- Complete the WIOA Orientation Form.
- Confirm with the training center which classes the funding covers before enrolling.
Funding approval and coverage rules are set by the sponsoring program, not by the school, so verify details with the center directly.
Class Locations and Contact
In-person options are tied to four Chicago-area locations:
- Chicago
- Schaumburg
- Naperville
- Northbrook
Each location has its own phone number listed on the site (for example, Chicago at (312) 923-2100, Naperville at (630) 245-6911, and Schaumburg at (847) 240-1972). Contact the location nearest you to confirm availability of private training, onsite delivery, tutoring, consulting, or room rentals, since these are arranged rather than booked from a fixed public schedule.
The site also lists Coupons and a Download our Class Catalog option, which are worth checking before you commit to a format or price.
