Hi Susie,

One option, send 'em to Utah!:

There are many others (most of them on this email list!), so
apologies to those I left out. All the above groups have a mix of
live & online trainings, videos, tutorials, & so forth. So there
should be something for every budget, geographic location, or other
requirement.
