Welcome to ArboristSite, glad you found us. We have a few members here from GA who get involved with training courses. Unfortunately, you just missed a one-day workshop last month, but there will be more. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6255
Pull up a chair, put up your feet and hang out a bit. I'm sure you can find a few guys here willing to help.
