3ds max / pflow based intensive training based class?

So, I’ve been out of touch with the 3d world for about a year now and looking to get back into it. My first software was Cinema 4d, then Maya and now I’m between 3ds Max and Houdini. Visual Effects have always intrigued me and that’s ultimately what I want to get into.

I’ve started to use the Fumefx and Afterburn plugins. I really want to get into Rayfire and Thinking Particles. Ultimately I’d like to create explosions, crumbling buildings and car crashes but unfortunately I’m not in that mind set yet. I’m still a little lost.

I’m familiar with Allan Mckay and his dvds. As a matter of fact I own a couple of them. Would I would really like to do is go somewhere and take like a 2 or 3 day course on effects. Do you guys know of any place that offers this kind of training?
