How much do training coordinators make in 2026?
Training coordinators are counted in the BLS training and development specialists series, where OEWS May 2025 reports a national median of $69,280 a year ($33.31 an hour), with a 10th percentile near $38,760 and a 90th percentile of $123,250. The series is large at 458,300 people and pools coordinators with instructional designers, facilitators and organisational development specialists, so coordination sits in its lower half — commonly between the 10th and 25th percentiles at entry. The role is logistics and administration for the training function: scheduling sessions, rooms and instructors, managing registrations and waitlists, maintaining the learning management system and completion records, preparing materials, tracking compliance training deadlines, handling vendor bookings and invoices, and reporting attendance and completion. It is genuinely useful entry-level work because it exposes you to the full training portfolio and to the systems underneath it. The route upward is toward content and capability: coordinators who learn instructional design, take on facilitation, or move into learning systems administration reach the middle of the band and beyond. Employment is projected to grow 10.8% through 2034 with roughly 43,900 openings a year. → Full training coordinator career guide, career path, credentials & placement →

Methodology & Sources
How the numbers on this page are built
Published (BLS): BLS OEWS May 2025, SOC 13-1151, United States national estimate. Public, methodologically rigorous, but sampled on a rolling 3-year basis and published ~10 months after collection — so it reflects wages that are already 1–2 years old by the time you read them.
Level and certification medians: distributed across the published BLS percentile range for this SOC code (P10 through P90) according to the credential tiers this occupation actually hires at. They are modeled reference points, not separately surveyed wages.
State and metro figures: modeled — the BLS national median multiplied by the GlobalCybers state wage index, and for metros by the published metro index for that state. They are estimates of local pay, not BLS state or metropolitan-area observations, and are labelled as modeled in the tables below.

Pay by Career Level
How much does a training coordinator earn at each career stage?
Training coordination pay progresses by moving from logistics to content. Each median is anchored to the BLS OEWS distribution for SOC 13-1151, whose midpoint reflects designers and facilitators rather than coordinators.
By State
Which states pay training coordinators the most in 2026?
State figures are modeled estimates — the BLS national median multiplied by the GlobalCybers salary-calculator state wage index — not BLS state observations, and they read high for coordinator work because the pooled series includes designers and facilitators. Treat them as relative geography only.
