Look up "Educational services" on Flowserve.com
There are 2 classes.
Control Valve Engineering Specialist - Level I
Recommended for
This course is designed for plant and engineering firm, process, project and design engineers. Employees who are responsible for the design, installation and implementation of complete process control systems are the primary focus of this course. Control valve sales and application engineers and those involved in areas of customer service will also benefit from this course.
Course Objective
Upon completion of this seminar, the participants will be able to:
Describe the basics of globe-style valves
Describe when and where rotary valves are used
Identify industry’s three standard flow characteristics
Describe why and how pressure-balanced trim is used
Describe what cavitation is
Identify the various types of control valve actuators
Describe why positioners are used
Describe what benefits severe service trims provide
Demonstrate the ability to size various types of valves
Describe how to size and select proper control equipment through practical exercises
Course Description
Participants learn the unique features and benefits of top-entry control valves and how they compare to alternative valve styles. They learn the importance of body and trim selection, how to understand and use the proper flow characteristics, and discuss pressure-balanced trim, cavitation, flashing, and gaseous noise. Participants also discuss control valve actuators and positioners, and work sizing problems using state-of-the-art computerized selection programs. Specific topics include: (On site training is customized to fit the customers needs, therefore some of the topics may be omitted).
Globe valve design concepts
Selecting body rating
Selecting trim size
Flow characteristics (including Rangeability)
Linear valve actuators
Valve positioners
Liquid sizing for control valves (Performance)
Gas sizing for control valves (Performance)
Valve selection workshop (Performance)

Upon completion of this seminar, the participants will be able to:
Describe the basics of globe-style valves, including body and trim size selection
Describe when and where rotary valves are used and understand their advantages and limitations
Identify industry’s three standard flow characteristics and explain how they perform
Describe why and how pressure-balanced trim is used and how it compliments standard valves
Describe what cavitation is, why it occurs and how to minimize the damage it causes
Identify the various types of control valve actuators and the advantages and limitations of each
Describe why positioners are used and how to properly mount and calibrate them
Describe the importance of fugitive emissions and noise and velocity control
Describe what benefits severe service trims provide and how each should be used
Demonstrate the ability to size various types of valves using Performance valve sizing software
Describe how to size and select proper control equipment through practical exercises
Course Description
Participants learn the unique features and benefits of top-entry control valves and how they compare to alternative valve styles. They learn the importance of body and trim selection, how to understand and use the proper flow characteristics, and discuss pressure-balanced trim, cavitation and flashing, and gaseous noise to identify how each affects control valve performance. Participants also discuss control valve actuators and positioners, review fugitive emissions and severe service, and work several sizing problems using state-of-the-art computerized selection programs. Concepts and theory are taught in a classroom setting and then reinforced with hands-on exercises in the laboratories. Participants utilize the laboratories (static displays and operational liquid handling systems) to perform experiments on real live setups. Working in teams, attendees will be involved in interactive discussions while they test and document a variety of operational valves, operators and accessories. Specific topics include:
Globe valve design concepts
Selecting body rating
Selecting trim size
Flow characteristics (including Rangeability)
Linear valve actuators
Valve positioners
Liquid sizing for control valves (Performance)
Gas sizing for control valves (Performance)
Severe service sizing (Performance)
Rotary valve sizing (Performance)

Jim's post, although very informative, I think is more directed at end users. People who select or specify valves for a process and/or usage.
If I understand your reply, you are on the other side, working for a valve manufacturer, and will be making mechanical design, and developing new technology to improve various valves? If yes, then you are probably the guy giving the courses Jim has identified.
If you are indeed designing and developing new valves, then I would think courses in Mechanical engineering (you list your industry as chemical), metallurgy, materials, FEA, and the likes would be what is required to "make a new and improved valve".
