We got a training binder for class, it contained alot of company written stuff that I think was based alot on their extensive experience. I beleive they also used the NASA ice course a bit to demonstrate some things. If you want a good outside book on weather, pickup "weather flying" by Robert Buck. He did alot of severe weather flying in thunderstorms and ice and offers practical advice on how to deal with it all.

Heres a link to the NASA ice course if you would like it.
