Try www.irrigatortech.com 909-614-1755

They are located in Southern California so I don't know if it is much help to you, but maybe you could order some of their training material? Hope it helps you

Only because it's always sunny just about every day.

Most of the lawns aren't that big, so you can install a system at a reasonable rate. Most people want a nice yard, but don't have the time to water.

Most of all...
Rainbird
Hunter
... just to name a few, corporate headquarters is located here in the sunny state.

Check with your local suppliers and green industry organizations. They may know of some local classes or seminars that you could attend.
