Do you already have tools and connectors? If not, a class really isn't necessary depending on whose product you use. The assembly process is quite simple these days. There are a few simple tools required (crimper, cleaver, collar locker) but long gone are the days of using microscopes and polishing pads etc. Currently I use Corning's UNICAM connectors with a Siecor tool set and have not had a single failure during construction or after -- yet. There's a bit more loss in these connectors because of the optical gel interface but that extra bit has never gotten in the way of my loss budgets.
