Tell them to look into joining the AMA (American Management Association)
P.O. Box 319 Sarnac Lake, NY 12983

I get more good info from them than I know what to do with.
Specific Course Flyers:
Career Track 1-800-837-4398
"How to design eye-catching brochures, newsletters, ads, reports, etc."
Padgett Thompson 913-451-2900
"How to create newsletters people will read"
NOTE: I have not (yet) taken courses form either of these folks, so I
don't know about quality. Also, I realize that this is not a 100%
match with your request, but it was the best I could do in a 5-min
search. :-)
