Project Management Training

So my boss wants me to go take some Construction Project Management Training. Last year, we sent two Assistant Project Managers to Austin for CMAA Training. This sounds like it could be doable, but not terrible. Well, he sent me this link for something to take:
http://sc.edu/about/offices_and_divisions/continuing_education/professional_education_and_certificate_programs/project_management/project_management_certificate/index.php
How do I explain to him that I will not go to Columbia to take a class at USC in Project Management. Also, this is for PMP training, not construction project management, right? This #### is a Clemson grad and he is suggesting I go to this (assuming he wants to save money and keep it local).
DO I burn his office down, poop on his desk, r8pe and pillage? Suggestions?
He shot down my training in Honolulu in August.

I disagree.

Because of the nature of waterfall PM, it's geared more towards construction projects than many other PM methodologies. Also, a large part of the PMP is financial based (cost and schedule varainces and indexes (indices)?)
