There are three general classes of training available:
Taking a statistics course is a great idea if you have never done so (or not done so recently).  Try to find one that uses the college version of one of the usual AP texts.  Try to avoid one that emphasizes computations over concepts.  At the college level, use of statistical software suggests up-to-date content and pedagogy.  If nothing local works out you can Google "online statistics course".

The pedagogy expected in AP Statistics is similar to that described in the NCTM Standards.  You will have a big head start if you adopt one of the usual AP texts and insist that students read it.  There are many workshops available that provide information on the AP program and its expectations. Go to AP Central, log in (or register if you have not already done so) and click on Institutes and Workshops in the top menu bar. You will get a dialog where you can select a subject (Statistics) and enter desired dates and locations to search for. Be sure to change at least one date or you will only get workshops happening today. At the time of this writing, the page did not sort dates correctly for an interval that included more than one year.
