The Schulten group at UIUC who produce NAMD run good introductory 
workshops regularly, although from the look of their site 
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/ they have one at the end of this 
month which is booked out. I do recommend the course (I did one in 
Australia a few years back) - the concepts are naturally pretty 
transferable to other MD packages. There are quite a number of good 
introductory tutorials for using NAMD there too. I'm not aware of 
anything comparable for GROMACS.
