With absolutely zero trimix experience I would take the class locally and then travel on your own dime later. I guess if money is no object feel free to fly an instructor to some foreign place where he probably isn't legally allowed to work, have a vacation of it, and get a card... But trimix courses should not be vacations IMHO.
 
The sunken atomic bomb test fleet at Bikini Atoll, with Simon Mitchell as guest lecturer & stand-by Hyperbaric Physician -all arranged & chartered on the M/V Windward liveaboard (with onboard Recompression Chamber) through Pete Mesley:

For a class or otherwise, this one's got my attention. Checking it out. Thanks!
 
Go local (ish) and check out the Great Lakes (4,000 + shipwrecks).

I joyfully spend the grand majority of my dives on the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. 15 minutes from the Port of Milwaukee I'm out diving Lake Michigan all spring, summer and fall and get to visit the astoundingly intact 1800's sailing ships on Huron and Superior almost every year. That's why I'm spoiled when it comes to Shipwreck diving. Ontario and Erie are on the docket but I'd rather do Advanced Trimix in a wetsuit. It's a luxury I'm willing to travel for on this one :)
 
Plenty of deep and probably virgin wrecks scattered over Ironbottom Sound in Solomon Island.
And how about solving the mystery of IJN Fuso and Yamashiro in Surigao Strait? Which one was broken into two halves?
There are FIVE IJN destroyers lying somewhere in Ormoc Bay and only one(IJN Kuwa) had been positively identified. IJN Shimakaze, a giant destroyer(2,600 tons), is one of them and reputedly lying at 280m.[/QUOT
I second the Great Lakes. Lake Huron is a tech divers dream either the "Thumb" or Presque Ilse

Thrilled to say I get to more of them every time we do the road trip!

There's something to be said for training in an environment you're going to be diving in. Check out the Baltic Sea for cold deep water with well preserved wrecks. Drysuit is a must, don't take the lazy way out...otherwise just pay the cheapest agency for a card and learn on your own (sarcasm/ off).

Philippines certainly has some interesting deep wrecks.
Princess of the Orient.
Cebu Pioneer wreck in Malapascua. This one is a lot easier to arrange eg. Evolution Diving Resort.
