Not sure if this is allowed here but it doesn't give out any "classified" information so I'll give it a shot...
MBA USA has a course on advanced safe lock manipulation that covers group 1, 2M, s&g padlocks, disc detainer safe locks, and many other areas. Here's the list of what's being offered in the class:
UL ratings for Mechanical Safe Locks
Advanced Dialing Techniques
The LaGard 3330 safe lock
Current S&G and LaGard Group 2M locks
Mosler Locks
Star round door safe locks
S&G 8400 locks
S&G 8500 locks
S&G 2937 locks
The LaGard 2200 and 2270
Early versions of the S&G 8077 padlock
Operation of the ITL 2000 Autodialer
Amplifiers, magnifiers, and other manipulation aids
It's a 3 day course at their facility in Kentucky I believe but the only problem is that they need at least 3 people to sign up in order to hold the class. You don't necessarily have to be a locksmith or safe technician to sign up, you just can't have a shady past. This is definitely an advanced class. They state that you should have at least 10 unaided manipulations of group 2 locks before signing up. Here's the link to their page about it:

education@mbausa.com and they'll put you on a list. I'm already on the list so I just need at least 2 other people to express interest, and then we can all work on deciding a date which works for all of us.
