I found this online today. I think its free but I'm not sure. I know its way over my head but some of our technically inclined HC posters may find this to be useful.

Objectives
# Identify sun glint in visible and 3.9 m channel imagery
# State the advantages of adjusting enhancement tables in visible imagery for cloud feature identification
# Describe differences in how water and ice clouds appear in the shortwave infrared channel (3.9 m) and the infrared window channel (10.7 m)
# Describe how the fog/stratus product is derived
# State ways to distinguish low-level fog and stratus from higher level water clouds
# Explain how the subpixel effect highlights fires and hot spots in shortwave infrared channel (3.9 m) imagery
# Explain the differences in appearance between ice clouds, stratus, and snow on the ground in shortwave infrared (3.9 m), visible, and infrared window (10.7 m) channel imagery
# Explain how the reflected solar component of the 3.9 m shortwave infrared channel affects imagery made from this channel
# Describe some advantages of using the reflectivity product in feature identification
# Identify the part of the atmosphere sensed by the water vapor channel
# Explain how storm relative loops are created and their use
# State how the water vapor (6.5 m) channel has changed on the GOES-12 to -15 satellites
# List products derived using the split-window (12 m) channel
# List products derived using the 13.3 m carbon dioxide channel
# Describe the improvements to the GOES-13, -14, and -15 spacecraft and imager channels
