I've looked on and off over the years for a tutorial, but not had any luck, can anyone suggest a route of study for me?

Yes. k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf includes an extensive tutorial on how ferrite chokes work, as well as a lot of other fundamental EMC concepts.

k9yc.com/publish.htm includes two choke "Cookbooks," one for MF/HF, another VHF/UHF. The MF/HF cookbook is based on more than a year of winding and measuring more than a thousand chokes; the VHF/UHF cookbook is based on Fair-Rite data sheets for specific cores. This material has been in the ARRL Handbook for a while.

There's also an applications note on identifying RF noise by type and providing advice on how to locate and kill it. It includes winding guidelines for clamp-ons at the source of noise.
