There is HUGE potential for training on the internet.  Over the next ten years, expect to see online seminars and interactive training courses on CLPEX.com.  Until then, you will have to resort to traditional training events.  Here are the courses I have found which deal strictly with latent prints.  If you know of others, let me know.  It's presence on this page is not to be considered an endorsement of any particular training event.
