There should be some sort of training for shadchanim. I am surprised that an organization such as Aish or Agudah doesn’t offer such a course – unless they have never been approached to do so. The students should study psychology, some sociology relevant to the various backgrounds and customs of different Jews, how to run a small business and business and personal ethics. This is just a basic core that the curriculum should contain. I am certain that many of you could add more topics. The program could probably be accomplished in 4 to 6 months of full time learning or a year or more of part time learning (taking one course at a time in the evening).
