Rather than formal training, consider getting involved with the doc team of an open source project with a strong commitment to the quality of their technical writing.

You'll get not just one teacher's eyes on your work, but several to dozens of experienced technical writers.
You'll get feedback from consumers of your technical writing.
You'll have a portfolio of CC or other open-licensed work that you can show off.
Your work will be read by people with many different backgrounds, so you will get a feel for, e.g. when something that works well for a native English speaker may be hard to understand for non-native speakers.
Not only is it free, but people will thank you ang you get some geek cred.
The people who code, design, etc. for the project you work on will love you, want to support you, and teach you cool things.
