Most people are trained to do there work.

But you do not get trained "how to get married" or "how to raise your kids".

I know this person who got children that needs such training but stay very far in a rural town.

Do you know of any course like this.

They will not read a book.

I myself spoke to people, friends, got info, because my children are important to me.

What you read in a book will be the author's opinion. You can learn much more by speaking to friends and people who have children of similar ages. I have never heard of a course though, not in child-rearing

When the child is new, you will meet mothers at the clinic or doctors. When they are a bit older, there are Church groups and associations where you can meet people in similar circumstances.

All children are important, you are even more important to them, and it does not stop when they leave home or even get married. My daughter, who has several degrees and an excellent job, still asks me for advice now and then

Their one son, is way behind, needs to be in a specail school. They just leave him.
The other must help the problem one,

the parents do their own thing, watch tv, play computer games.

Their family is very concern.

If this were my children, I would get help, training, and perhaps leave the wife at home to teaxh the problem child.

Quite frankly, there is no manual in the world that can teach you how to be a good parent...it should come naturally. Yes, there are people who are naturally better at parenting than others but the minute your child is born, you are given an instinct that is in us all.
Your friends don't need training, they are simply lousy parents. They more than likely know there may be something wrong with their child but too lazy to do anything about it. Sadly, these types are parents are all too commen. Anyhow, I'm one of those people that finds parenting very hard, and have to put extra effort into listening to my kids and having patience but I sure as shyte put their needs before all else.

Getting information from people you know or from books is basically the same thing. Wherever it comes from you need numerous sources, so you can find information that works. Hence no single course is going to be useful. There is I would say no field of endeavour where a single source of information is adequate to solve all problems, so I see no reason why it should be different for being a parent. By default though adults are remarkably poor at understanding and dealing with children, but children are quite resilient, so even just muddling through will very likely produce a basically functional adult. Doesn't mean we can't do better with more knowledge.

Courses, books, or any sort of advice can't help someone who has no interest. In all likelihood these children have been starved for attention from early on.

Perhaps, but it is the instinct of a caveman. That's what comes naturally.

Good luck with that. My instinct says they will resent your 'help' as they have a culture of being a certain way.

simple klap the kid and never be afraid to discipline the kid. Though exercise caution not to humiliate the child in public and do not hurt the child, however it must sting so that a lesson can be learnt.

Human beings are taught not born.

In my day there was no ritalin just a stick/ruler/slap and it was very effective .... just saying

words can only carry so far before a child will challenge its parents... its a mammalian trait humans arent exempt from this

edit:

understand when to give a klap, dont klap a child for being a child.
