I would google the city/county/state and home buyer class. I apologize, but I don't remember where you will be attending, so I did San Fran which came up with a First Time Home Buyer Counseling Program ran through the mayor's office.
Unfortunatly, in my experience, only a handful of the real estate agents know about them. Generally they are ran by either government offices or community centers, though occasionally churches and other civic minded groups offer these. I am not sure if they are available in all areas and it is worth checking through near by cities (since many programs are at the state level.) Replace 'class' with 'seminar' or 'course' as well. I know Re-max and US Bank offers them in the SE. If you call the court house or other government agencies, they may be able to direct you to the right place.
The other good option is to find a home buyer agent who likes to cater to new buyers. I prefer learning the stuff myself, then seeing what the agent can add to that. (If you don't have experience with an HBA, they do NOT increase your cost.....the commission of the sold house is divided between the sellers agent and the HBA...if you don't use an HBA, you can sometimes get the seller agent to reduce their commission and drop your offer by that percentage, but that is pretty rare...and an HBA will help keep everything legal and protect your interests.) They also generally have a good knowledge of resale value, local area peculiarities, etc. Also, if you are moving a decent distance....more than an hour or two, I would look for an HBA out of a relocation real estate office. These agents are familiar with working with clients at a distance and dealing with time constraints to view houses, etc.
