A course might be nice, but you can figure out one thing at a time. Of course, you know totally automatic and not much else. First learn either shutter priority and then aperature priority. Learn to bracket +2 and -2 exposures. Learn to manual focus (there's a switch on the lens usually). Learn to turn the flash on and off. Learn to control the ISO. Etc., etc.
Learn one or two things per day and in a week or so you'll have it down. Nikon and Canon tend to keep their control relatively consistent between models, so if you move up in a year or two and stick with the same brand, you can figure it out in an hour or two.
Keep the manual in your bag.
