Not aware of online other than the AGI AR15 Armorer course.
You should look at School of the American Rifle. Does a weekend long builders class. It is excellent.
Another option, Gordy Gritters does an AR15 accurizing course.
There is also Sons of Liberty course, they do travel courses, so may be best bet for one in CA, or closer to CA.
Also Larue does classes.

Sorry I didn't catch the AR part I was doing three things at once..... As one poster posted the AR platform is very simple and was meant to be that way.... There's so much information and really good information already out there there in my opinion absolutely no no need to take formal training unless you need an armor certificate..... I learned everything I know about them by doing and reading and watching videos and there's an overwhelming amount out there... If you're absolutely brand new than an armory course from AGI can't hurt anything for sure but the info is out there if you're willing to look for it , it's definitely not hard to find....
There used to be some extremely knowledgeable people at m4 carbine.net and that's where I learned what it takes for am m4 to be considered a battle worthy gun.... Companies like BCM , LMT , COLT AND KNIGHTS ARMAMENT all make rifles i consider good to go when your life depends on it like on a battlefield... Even those need to be run hard before use to make sure they run right and there's other companies out there's that build a good rifle for sure but I am not talking about a range rifle that gets shot a few times a year....
Seriously if you're trying to learn just buy yourself a lower and upper and build one yourself by the time you're done you will know how to keep one running what parts you need and why etc.... Don't get tangled up in the words mil spec... That's what the military wants and their lowest bidder... But what they want done and why they want it that way are the key.... The bolt carrier group and barrel are the heart and life of a AR platform rifle , spending money on those two things is what you want to do.... Buying your own tools to do your build can be done fairly cheap but spend your money on things wisely.... Things like the Magpul wrench and grace punches are worth the money plus there's what I call cheater tools that just make your life easy when it comes to installing pins etc so you don't scratch or have things go boooong.... Seriously it's not hard you can do it...

Not much to an AR, until you start fitting barrels up from a blank.
While turning down and timing everything .
Great idea if I was younger.
