        Hi Jose,
        Thanks for your comment. hortamericas.com offers some short courses, and then there are several great universities that offer more intense short courses, such as the University of Florida, the University of Arizona, and many others. If you check here https://urbanagnews.com/education/ we share many of them and the courses that are coming up.

        Thanks,
        UAN
