Nathan, what are you hoping to learn about? The more technical side of it (eg HTML, ARIA), or accessibility of extensions (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, InDesign)? I imagine there will not be a single location for courses so knowing what you are interested in will help whomever is making the recommendation.
