Default Home Improvement: Courses or Classes?

Does anyone know where a home owner can go to take courses or classes
for home improvement (electrical, plumbing etc) in NJ or any other
locations

I would like to learn from a professional and not the home depot guy
who doesn't even know where they keep the toilet seats in his own
store.



In my area (Twin Cities, Minnesota), there are usually many different free
home improvement-type fairs/shows that are co-sponsored by city governments
and local businesses.

A typical show includes seminars, how-to demonstrations, and booths staffed
with professionals from various trades that are on hand to provide free
"how-to" advice.

If you have a similar type of thing in your area, I'd suggest going. In my
experience, they've proved to be a valuable source of free information and
guidance.
