I like the Carson Dunlop video training series.
A little pricey though!

Has those videos changed from Carson & Dunlop? I remember them putting me to sleep. It wasn’t the information but the person giving the information. The tone of his voice never changed from the start to the end of the video.

Yea, they are still putting people to sleep. I usually broke up
the tapes into half hour intervals because there is so much info to absorb in one complete session. I had tried to do the 2.5 hour HVAC tape all at once, 3 times and fell asleep each time. So now, if I have insomnia I just pick up a tape and 45 minutes latter I'm out! 
Allen Carson has found a complete cure for insomnia!
I still think the tapes are good from an educational standpoint, though!
