Are you willing to travel?  If so, that opens up many more opportunities
for the 2-5 day full-day type of course setup.

Yep, Google is what does it for me.  A little article buried way down on
my web site.  People typing "freeware test tools" on Google make it the
#1 page on my site.  That's part of the reason I'm here typing at you
now.  :-)  

On my testingfaqs.org site, at first most of the traffic came from the
previous location of the site which set up a forwarding notice.  But
Google steadily took that over and dwarfed it within 6 months.
