If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet there is some free training available online (videos and downloadable slides).  In order to download the workbooks you might be prompted to install the latest version of the .NET Framework (3.5).  If I recall correctly, this install required a reboot on my laptop.  Here is what is available in regards to training and I add the duration of the videos so you can plan accordingly:
