Best way to learn is by doing - go on an RS photo outing with some of the incredible talents hereabouts.

Best is save your money and read a book that's about your camera.

Majority of the technical stuff and how to's you can find online. Save your money and watch some YouTube videos. The only way to get better at photography tho is to go out there and start taking photos.

I think I have a free voucher for a beginner photo course.
Came as bundle when I bought my 5D3 from Kerrisdale Camera.
Let me see if it's still good and if so, you can have it!

Seriously, join a Meetup group or something and go on a photo outing with some more experienced people. Learning by doing is the best, especially if you have people along who will take the time to show you what they're doing.
When my buddy first got his XTi rig, he came down for a visit (he lives in Yale) and we spent the day hitting the Aquarium, Horseshoe Bay, and Queen E. Park... he'd try to get a shot he wanted, I'd look at it and explain what he was doing wrong, show him the settings to use, and explain why they worked that way, and then he could see the results. He learned more in an afternoon than he would have in a week-long course.

honestly, photography/videography is something you shouldn't really pay for imo.
doing hands on, experimenting is the best way to learn.
you see other peoples portfolio, and if you like it or if thats your picture style.. you want to try it hands on and mimic it for starter.
if it doesn't turn out well in either the photo itself or in PS, just youtube or google.
I find that, for me; reading off a book or having someone teaching me a specific thing doesn't improve your skills.
what you improve is THAT specific technique, but you really never learn how/why things are.
just go out and snap and film!

Nothing wrong with that camera (well, except the size, if you have big hands)! All the same concepts apply, the only thing a newer camera gets you is fancier bells and whistles, maybe video mode, and probably cleaner high-ISO. As far as learning "photography", anything you learn on the XT will translate to any newer or higher-end camera - aperture, shutter, DOF, motion blur, selective focus, exposure bracketing - all work the same on the XT as they have and will on any other SLR of any other brand.
In fact, a simpler camera is probably better for learning the basics, because you won't be overwhelmed by all the other menus and dials and gizmos and gee-whiz features.

was looking at this one: Vancouver Photo Workshops | I was looking at this course last night too. I also bought a T3i and have been playing around. The good thing about a course is that the instructors have experience and formal education. In my experience learning from friends can be hit or miss. Is there an existing RS photo club, or group that goes on walks? I think formal education combined with experience and input from fellow photographers is best.

Agree with everyone on here. Save the money, go online, ask for advice and just shoot.

Yea, there's no such thing as a 'professional' photographer. There is no assocation of professionals that have to accredit you before you can practice or be named as a professional, there's no exam to write, no group to join.
Anyone can take a camera and become a paid photographer doing it. The word 'professional photographer' is not exactly correct in the true definition of a professional. Therefore you can self-teach virtually everything with photog.
