These are taught by NOAA and are often hosted by a local Ham Radio club (www.arrl.org for more info on those) The other class is a ham radio license class (Same url same club) and become a trained certified weather spotter and licensed ham radio operator.
The weather spotter class is most important because in addition to how to spot it they tell you how to improve your chances of surviving it.
The ham radio class is optional. But well worth the fun.
