This isn't what you are asking for, but the best suggestion I have to offer.
I have had courses with Sully at Defensive Edge, twice. Why twice? The first time was to learn things and the 2nd time I took it with a buddy and to relearn what I had forgotten. I don't take apart my AR15s with much regularity, only when something breaks or stops functioning.

I thought the course was just fine. Sully was an excellent instructor, patient and helpful, but the course wasn't a builder's course. It was a break down your AR15 and put it back together course, fixing whatever was broken along the way. People lost/dropped springs and pins and such and Sully had the parts to replace them. A couple of us had guns that didn't work right due to broken parts and he had the spares to fix them. You come away with some decent knowledge and a really nice manual on how to do things. The best part was learning some proverbial tricks of the trade and how not to screw up certain things. You will learn what tools are necessary, not necessary, and which ones are optional, but a really good idea to have.
I don't see where he has a builder's course, but you might contact him about that, or you might try the armorer's course and then building one on your own.
