Here's a link to Siemens training for Simatic S7 based product:
if you click on the "Training" section, it also describes on-line, self help etc training. I would ask your local Siemens contact for NY based training. I'm sure there is some.

You will also need to determine which S7 series you want to work with. The S7-200 is what they (we) call "micro-automation" and has it's own software package, Micro/Win 32. In the US, the Micro-automation products are supported by the PD&C (Power, Distribution & Controls) group. The larger more powerful PLCs, the S7-300 and S7-400 series, use Step 7 software and are supported by the Automation and Drives group. The programming looks similar, but if you are not using the higher functionality in the 300 and 400 series, Micro/Win 32 is a lot easier to use.
Here is a quick way to find resources for either group by entering the product you are working with;

Sorry, I only work with the S7-200 series so I'll need to defer to the Automation and Drives guys on that.
If you are looking for formal training classes, here is the schedule. Training for the NY area is apparently handled by the main Siemens headquarters in Norcross GA. I recommend starting with the S7 TIA Programming 1 class.
Siemns SITRAIN schedule
Other than that, you can contact whichever of these guys is closer to see if they know of any training programs closer to you, i.e. distributor sponsored classes;

Author :Hans Berger.
ISBN:389-578-1703
The author is (or was) a siemens engineer and has at least 3 or 4 books dedicated to Siemens Step-7.

I learned the basics of the 315-2DP programming and implementation using the Berger books, the Siemens online help, and their tech support line.
I'd also highly recommend PLCSIM, both for learning and for debugging your programs before you load them into the hardware.
Also, do some digging around on the web and you'll find some S7 projects that you can download and fiddle with.
