Or you could just get the holotape from the crashed vertibird near the highly irradiated testing grounds. And, no, you don't need arcade gannon's useless side quest.
Taken from the Fallout Wiki article on power armor training in New Vegas:
After completing the quest Still in the Dark, return to either Nolan McNamara or Edgar Hardin, depending on who is now Elder. If McNamara remains Elder, wait 24 hours outside of the bunker for the lockdown to be lifted, then talk to him. Telling him one wishes to join the Brotherhood of Steel will begin the Eyesight to the Blind quest. When this is completed, one will then receive Power Armor Training. If helped Hardin become Elder, complete the Tend to Your Business quest.
The other option for training is the For Auld Lang Syne quest, given by Arcade Gannon. Once having gathered the Remnants together, the Courier will be provided with the perk, in addition to a suit of Remnants power armor.
Both of which require a quest in order to get the training.
I like the idea of a power armor training holotape, because, well, the Brotherhood of Steel quests are just so... Grindy. And boring. However, I feel there could be a better location for it, that requires a good deal of combat prowess to reach, or in a custom location that requires a handful of high-level skill and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. checks to enter. Good concept, but could use a fitting location.
THERE IS ALREADY ONE. NExt to the crashed vertibirt, south end of the map. In the middle of nowhere. Just pick it up and you have the training. Ermagherd, 1500 downloads for a mod that adds something that is ALREADY in the game.
Yes, there is... IF you're doing Arcade Gannon's quest, which is even farther in the game than is necessary to get power armor training from the Brotherhood. If you're going to talk condescendingly, for goodness' sake, at least know what you're talking about in the first place.
