Start learning today. No travel. No waiting.
I've taught hundreds of students how to use ASP.NET Core in public and private workshops. These typically cost about $400 per student for public classes, and more for private workshops. This course covers more than a day's worth of material for a fraction of the cost of attending a live class.
